Why the f is his creative vision to use SD aspect ratio?
I watched something about this a couple weeks ago. From my understanding whenever they use the now standard widescreen format there is a loss of some of the actual film at the top and bottom of the screen. In the old 4:3 aspect ratio the loss of footage is to the left and right of the screen. Snyder felt like the stuff cut out on the top and bottom by the 16:9 ratio was more important than what would be lost to the left and right so he chose the 4:3 ratio to preserve what he thought was more important to the scenes.

What I wanna know is why we are still dealing with aspect ratios that end up cutting something out of the film one way or another. How do we not film and have TVs in a ratio where there is no loss of footage or having to warp the image to see everything?
