I remember, at one point, I was actually studying it kind of intensively around 2001, when Hrithik Roshan was big. I wanted to learn more about it, as I've always been intrigued by the craft of Bollywood, in that how well they were shot in glorious widescreen. I would actually go to see Bollywood films in the theaters in New York and New Jersey.

I decided to restore 'Napoleon' after a widescreen festival at the Odeon Leicester Square in 1968. It was run by Richard Arnell and George Dunning, who animated and directed 'Yellow Submarine,' and they'd got their hands on the last scene, the triptychs. They just showed that part, without music and with the projectors misaligned.

British Historian

Rachel Morrison

So much of 'Mudbound' is about man's relationship to the land and to the elements. It's about the desire for control and how powerless we are against nature. We always knew we would shoot widescreen as a means to isolate a body in the frame and to highlight our own insignificance.

David MacKenzie

When I started making films, all the theaters, the screen would slide open the widest possible point, and that would be widescreen. But now, theaters are geared up for around 16:9, so scope is now 'letterboxed.' In a way, if you want the big picture, you shoot 16:9.

Scottish Director

Deborah Meaden

I suffer from reverse body dysmorphia. When I look in the mirror I see somebody slimmer. It's quite a shock to see myself on TV, especially on widescreen.

English Businesswoman

George Stevens

I'm interested in all the new ideas, such as 3-D and widescreen, but I don't believe the technical method of presentation is the real important thing.

Jeff Nichols

I loved, in 'Starman', the use of anamorphic lenses, the creation of blue light, and Carpenter's use of the widescreen format.

Jim Lee

The Authority,' by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, really pioneered the widescreen, action-packed style of storytelling.

South Korean Artist

Helena Bonham Carter

My life had been very work-orientated, and all in close-up. Once I had the family, it went into sudden widescreen.

British Actress

Michael McKean

There's more than one way to do TV just like there's more than one way to do widescreen movies.

American Actor

Widescreen refers to a specific shape of a screen, wider than normal TVs, enhancing viewing experience.

Aspect Ratio

Widescreen is preferred for movies because it presents the film as the director intended, without cuts.

Movie Authenticity

The term 'widescreen' is associated with modernity, implying up-to-date technology in media devices.
