No one in Turkey will be able to watch Oppenheimer in High Quality

According to many people, the greatest director of cinema in recent years. Christopher Nolannew movie Oppenheimer makes a name for himself once again. Even before the movie came out, it became clear what a great production it was, but this time it’s more of a size in the true sense of the word.

After all, the roll of the film is more or less 270 kilogramsalso the length 17.7 kilometers. Big Nolan “We shot a movie with an 18 kilometer roll” He doesn’t do it for the sake of saying, there are technical reasons.

First of all, let’s give the sad news to those who are preparing to watch this movie in IMAXs in our country.

In the halls of our country, Shot with a ratio of 1.43:1 and it is not possible for us to watch this footage, which is much more special and original. We will not be able to watch the original Oppenheimer, which can be watched in a very limited number of special theaters even in countries such as the UK and USA, anywhere, including IMAX theaters in our country.

IMAX Xenon halls in our country have increased light power with two projections. It provides us with 2K images. This is a very sufficient experience, but we can say that Oppenheimer has done much more than that.

Because the original footage has a 1.43:1 ratio, everyone will watch a large portion of the movie cropped out, except for experiences in these special theaters. Theoretically, in these special IMAX halls that are not in our country, Oppenheimer in 18K image quality you will be able to watch.

Nolan is among the directors who attach great importance to the technique of the work.

Digitization and technological advances affects every industry, This includes, of course, the cinema. First of all, if we look at the last 40 years of watching something, we can understand how big and fast this transformation was.

Once upon a time, there was only one channel television broadcasting at certain hours. Later, other channels started to be opened, but television channels had working hours at that time. Famous “National Anthem and closing“jokes, from the televisions ending their shifts with our national anthem. it was a made up joke.

Afterwards, pay channels came into our lives, we became more familiar with satellites accessing foreign channels, and then came the age to watch what we wanted whenever we wanted with VHS’s. Right after you CD, DVD Then computers entered the houses, then we had laptops, “Aaa what a nice move‘ Then we started playing videos on our phones.

Then came the smartphones and thanks to the subscription systems. everywhere everything We are able to monitor. Every new device that has been developed has pushed the device to the next level to be developed.

Come see that you can have fun watching something. at the top cinema is taking place, and for people, cinema is no longer a social experience-sharing tool, something magical that evokes a sense of fascination or curiosity. That’s why it’s getting harder to attract people to movie theaters.

That’s why Nolan pushes advanced cinema technologies to the fullest.

Nolan’s already computer-generated effects It’s a well-known fact that he doesn’t like it. His obsession with making the image he wanted to capture as real and as high-quality as possible earned him the reputation he enjoys today.

The director is also in this production. IMAX 65mm and Panavision 65mm cameras While obtaining the highest resolution possible by using them together, he once again makes one say, “To do justice to this movie, you have to watch it in the cinema.”

Nolan also said in an interview about the movie, “The sharpness and clarity and depth of the images are unmatched. At launch, to me, when you shoot with IMAX 70mm film you are really losing the curtain. You get the feeling of 3D image without glasses. You have a giant screen and you fill the peripheral vision of the viewers. You draw them into the world of the movie.” had used the words.

So how right is Nolan about this?

Although it is a fact that we want to witness a good story as well as seeing beautiful visuals when we go to a movie, recent cinema trends give us a chance to understand the importance of visuality in a striking way. Come on this year Top 15 movies at the box office Let’s see together:

Productions in the top 15 in the Box Office world ranking, Elemental not counting, completely turn your back one way or another based on a brand the productions. It is possible to say that they are not a Citizen Kane, the Price of a Bondage. So why did they get so much attention?

Of course, because of the power of the brands and the visual feast they promise. nolannot sending a giant reel of film to theaters just because of the throttle of making the biggest of everything American, the guy is British, not American either. He does it because the circumstances demand it, because the cinematic experience needs it.

So what’s the technical reason for this huge reel?

First, Nolan and cinematographer Van Hoytema decided to shoot the movie in two different aspect ratios. The film is a period film after all, and at the time when the atomic bomb was invented, it was the newest technology of the period. display technology called CRT.

so what is this CRT? Tube television. While the screens of tube televisions are closer to the square, our modern cinema screens and televisions are more rectangular. The aspect ratio in this format is 4:3 (or 1.33:1).

One of the two formats Nolan and Van Hoytema chose, standard Full Aspect Ratio The aspect ratio of 1.9:1, known as We can watch this version in any cinema, TV or laptop screen without any problems or black stripes on the right and left, this is the version that will also be shown in our country.

But if the second version is 1.43:1 has the aspect ratio. This version was chosen to show the greatness of the invention of the atomic bomb and to create a sense of nostalgia. Not all cinemas can show this version, IMAX 15-perf 70mm or Dual Laser It is necessary to find one of the salons with technology. In cinemas with this technology, the image has an aspect ratio of 1.43:1, which creates a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of CRTs.

The difference between the two formats is causing the reels of film to get longer. The movie itself is already 3 hours and 9 seconds long. The difference between the standard format and the 1.43:1 format, which is actually the native format of IMAX, is that each frame is approximately 20 percent larger causing it to happen.

This also extends the reel, which is already long due to the duration of the film. Nevertheless, we come across such a huge reel. Anyway, film rolls are pretty long when unfolded, a single reel at 70mm. average 600 meters and it allows recording a movie that is a little over 10 minutes long.

If we consider that the “length” of a standard 90-minute film is close to 5.5 kilometers, Oppenheimer has to offer with different formats. 18 kilometers deserves to be challenged.
