My counterargument is this: I would love if Bruce Lee was filmed at 144hz.

He had been told to slow down because 24hz simply could not capture his fast movements.

At 144hz, we would be able to better appreciate his abilities.

24fps was not chosen from technical merit but because it was the lowest frame rate that most people didn't see flicker.

That choice was made long before Scorsese made The Godfather; and so has virtually every other movie made over the past century.

Real artists understand the limits of the medium they're working in and shape their creations to exist within it. So even if there was no artistic or technical merit in the choice to standardize on 24 FPS, the choice to standardize on 24 FPS shaped the media that came after it. Which means it's gained merit it didn't have when it was initially standardized upon.

>just like Scorsese intended.

>before Scorsese made The Godfather

Can you let me in on the joke?

Whether he invented 24hz or not, the film was shot with that in mind, is the point. Just like the lighting of black and white films was very different because of color limitations, or the mannerisms of silent films were different due to lack of dialogue or sound other than a musical track.

Oof, I completely glossed over that. Twice.

It's not a joke it's a mistake! Thanks for the upvotes anyway :]

The director was of course Francis Ford Coppola.

I dunno, the grandparent comment gave credit for The Godfather to Scorsese so I ran with it.

author's intentions for how stuff should be watched are overrated

...that being said motion interpolation is abomination

At the end of the day the viewer should get to see what they want to see. But in my case I usually want to see what the author had in mind, and I want my TV to respect that preference.

I have no qualms for changing it if it makes it look better for me but "what the TV manufacturer wanted users to see" is near always just.. bad

I agree that the viewer should see what they want to see, but I do think they should be made aware what it is and that they're seeing it.
