Comment on Why don't movies look like *movies* anymore?

I have a completely different view on this.
I HATE when we take a “camera perspective” instead of an “eye perspective”. I don’t like exaggerated contrast, because that’s what cameras do, not what eyes do. For the same reason, I can’t stand lens-flares and I’m really not a fan of focus-shifts unless they’re natural. It’s especially bad when first-person videogames do it, and then add film-grain on top.
I don’t want to see someone work a camera, I want to see the scene. That doesn’t mean I like grey, because the world has a TON of colour, but it also doesn’t mean I like the unrealistically high contrasts.
Interesting! To each their own I guess, I enjoy most of these things when used in intelligently. Kind of like what an artist’s style in a painting adds to the scene.
I had a different experience with avatar 2, saw it in 3d and apparently variable framerate and my eyes were getting lost everytime the framerate changed by a noticeable amount.

See, while I think this a valid perspective, I am *baffled *by the need people have to see movies look realistic. You live in realism every day. I want to movies to look interesting, otherworldly, and beautiful. I want every frame to look like a painting. Realism’s fucking boring.
Every time I watch In The Mood For Love, I’m bummed that *all *movies don’t look like that, you know?
