Question:
Well, for the first time I'd ever seen the thing, I enjoyed (if that's the right term...) it very much.
I notice it's on a R1 release, but anyone know what ratio the film is supposed to at, and what it is in the DVD...
Thanking you kindly.

i dont think there is a R1 yet.
there is a R0 and an R2 which are both the same P&S versions.
i thought it was open matte, so if you zoomed in on a widescreen set you#d actually be getting the original widescreen frame at a lower resolution
i thought i heard open matte before too, didnt know if i had imagined it.
ok, who has the DVD ?
The thing is, I've seen it advertised at Play, but is it an R1 or something else!
very overated film
and has a nasty rape scene
the godfather 1 & 2 are far better films

I've got the Brazillian version, which I'm told is the same as the R2 one that's just been released, and it's definitely a pan and scan of the widescreen print. I compared it with a tape of a widescreen broadcast C4 made a few years ago and was rather miffed. To make matters worse, the soundtrack on the Brazillian one is messed up too.
...and... the disc from Brazil is a (shudder!) 'flipper'...

Yes, but given its length that's hardly a problem. The picture quality on that disc isn't great, but I'm sure it would be a hell of a lot worse if it was all crammed onto one side.
...not on a DVD-9 it wouldn't - which is what the 'Greek' release is... (which apparently appeared and disappeared in no time at all - it doesn't seem to be available any more - good thing I still have my UK PAL laserdisc set...)

Rape scene ? the one in the diamond raid?
The scene in The Accused with Jodie Foster is a lot worst.

To me that shows how both how debased Noodles has become, willing to destroy the person he loves, and how deluded, trying desparately to force the happiness that he's put permanately beyond his grasp.
I don't find the scene at all erotic.
yeah... me neither...i agree with your assessment...i was trying to be ironic :)
i failed obviously :D
