Steven Watts-Outside Reading

The recent release of the Hobbit has many movie-goers applauding Peter Jackson's new film, while it has left others feelings sick, literally. Jackson made a decision to present the film in 48 frames per second, which is twice the speed of the typical 24 FPS. Jackson's intent was to make the film feel more life life and realistic for the viewers, but instead it left some feeling the exact opposite. I found some articles on this topic that really interested me because of the many varying opinions. It is interesting how such a seemingly small decision can become the number one thing that anyone wants to talk about when speaking about the film. Those who loved it were able to do so because for them, Jackson hit the nail on the head and made it feel more life like. For those who hated it, they felt as if it became a fake and unnatural environment within the film. It is interesting to see how one film style can be translated so differently by the eyes of different viewers.
