I'd say either would be fine. Maybe wide, for the scenery. It's so encouraging that he asked to borrow it, I don't thnk whether or not he notices the camera focusing on the wedding ring is going to help (come to think of it, in this case, it might hurt :-\). The main thing is that he gets the emotional impact, which might help loosen some preconceptions.

If I hadn't known you're all Brokies I would know now ;D ;)
Full screen or wide screen? Only Brokies would discuss what to lend to a colleague.
I hope he will be able to see beyond the fundamental believes of his church (at least he's willing to give it a try).
And for the records, my vote also goes for the wide screen version, for all the mentioned reasons (eh, yes, my name is Chrissi and I'm a Brokie ;)).

Oh O.K I give in, I am so fickle, widescreen it is !!!! But I still prefer seeing more of the boys bodies in the full screen,version, especially TSI, the hand ! and motel scene.

This has been so helpful! when I was trying to decide, I didn't realize that I wasn't thinking in terms of someone who's stretching their comfort level a bit. As I recall from early discussions about wide screen vs full screen, wide screen is better for the nature-type scenery and full is better for the, um, human scenery. So wide screen it is -- the full screen version is my preference anyway and this way I won't be letting it out of my possession.
And yes, my name is Marcia and I'm a Brokie. Even thinking of having both versions, let alone buying them, proves that! ;D

However that could just be important to BBM obsesive.I have both versions too. Maybe just give her the 2.!!!

You can see Jack's hand in TS1 in widescreen (you can also see Ennis's hand when he reaches forward to hold Jack's hand... you have to watch for the tan sleeve to suddenly appear).
But, it is true that you can't see the wedding ring in widescreen.
So, Marge, how did your co-worker like it?
Ellemeno:
To me, the question is How big is the screen they are watching it on? The bigger the screen, the better it can hold widescreen. The smaller, the more useful fullscreen becomes.
