> Superior reproductive technology in no way prevents you from creating a scene that has that and any other kind of artificially applied crappiness... The technology to produce movies at high frame rates has been around for a long time (and projection/display technology could have supported it much sooner if the content were there), and yet directors have deliberately, almost universally chosen what you categorize as "artificially applied crappiness" (24 fps). Practically speaking, it is artificially applied, and that's exactly it - it's an intentionally distorted version of reality, and it's that way on purpose. You're free to attempt to remove that filter (by smoothing motion on your TV), but that doesn't represent what the director intended. Even with "superior reproductive technology", directors are still choosing to produce films at 24 fps, so can you at least appreciate and respect that that's how most of them intend their work to be displayed? True, "reality does not judder" (proper 24 fps content doesn't either, by the way), but reality isn't what filmmaking is about. To argue otherwise misses the point of film as an artistic medium. For other types of content, I agree - reality is the target, but not in film.
