IMHO it's artistic intent. There's no war. You can frame art in any sized frame you like. There's no right or wrong, no better or worse. Movies are the same way.

I do wish that there had never been an aspect ratio format war of any kind. We should have STARTED with something wider than 4:3 and stuck with it and made tubes in that shape and never, ever have had to deal with mapping a different aspect ratio into a fixed tube design. so we can always maximize phosphor usage and get all the benefits of that.


I'm not sure there ever was a war, so to speak. Like Kal said - it's whatever the movie maker wants. If it were me though, I would do all of my stuff in 1.78 unless I was absolutely-positively convinced we needed another ratio. 1.78 is what virtually all home screens are these days and I have no problems making concessions for the masses. But that's me.
