Anyone choosing 24 FPS with a digital workflow is absolutely doing it intentionally. Part of that may be historical reasons or matching expectations, but it's also a factor in some of the illusion that goes into movies.

The "illusion" is simply people being used to 24fps after it has been in use for so long.

  Makeup and wardrobe and lighting are all impacted by frame rate. You can see cheap set decoration at 48 fps. It disappears at 24 fps.

    Had the same issue with when TV switched to HD. It is a bad argument.

      I agree in part. I'd like to see movies shot at higher framerates if and only if the filmmaker can actually pull off a good result, but I suspect it isn't always viable.

        I suspect it's almost always viable without much or any additional effort.

Not true in all cases - for example Blu Ray doesn't support 48 FPS which is probably the reason why we never got high frame rate home video releases of The Hobbit and Avatar rather than the directors thinking that we should see those movies in 24 FPS when at home.
