Reggie W said:One sort of funny aspect of this whole discussion...well, funny to me anyway...is sometimes the amazing picture quality of blu-ray and equipment we watch them on works to "take us out of the picture."
I'll use another WWII film as an example. Patton is a film I have watched many times over the years and it always holds me spellbound but I have to say I had never noticed until I watched the film on blu-ray on a large screen that during Patton's opening speech in front of the American flag...a pretty iconic moment...it is now completely obvious in pretty amazing detail that George C. Scott is wearing a set of gray press on eyebrows and the backing tape holding them on is vividly revealed.
I admit when I saw this I giggled...which had never happened before when I watched this scene...but on blu-ray this little detail was so clearly revealed for the first time watching it I was thinking about Mr. Scott sporting press on eyebrows rather than what was going on in the film.
In no way does it "ruin" the film for me but at times blu-ray and the wonderful equipment available to us does bring out some distracting details.
I'll second that. There have been many Bluray, and HD TV shows/movies on Cable/Satellite where the make up effects i would have not previously seen are now remarkably obvious due to the Bluray/HD clarity.
