Comment on Peter Jackson's 48fps Presentation Of 'The Hobbit' Gets A Mixed Responseparent

Comments

It's not simply nostalgia, but the fact that our eyes, brains, and expectations are firmly rooted in 24FPS, and anything else will have to overcome that aesthetic training. A good analog would be the diatonic system of western (Pythagorean) musical harmony. For 80 years beginning with Schoenberg, classical composers tried to get us to listen to non-tonal music, with extremely limited success.
