Full Frame DVD is "Open-Matte"!

And to see the added footage on the top and bottom of the frames, for example, in the motel scene you see more of Ennis' hand (including his wedding ring) and his arm as he strokes Jack's arm, which is around him. It's awesome!!!
I am still glad I have the widescreen version because it does give me the original experience as I enjoyed it and as the filmmakers intended, but on my 27-inch TV, the full-screen gets to be a pretty amazing, intimate experience.

Anne Marie, I just saw your updated post on page 1. Thanks for sharing. I agree with everything you said. Yes, the motel scene with Ennis (wearing wedding ring) caressing Jack's arm is a nice "bonus" reveal on the Full Frame version. Like you I have a 27 inch TV, and the Open Matte transfer makes the viewing experience much more "up close and personal". :)

Feels like you are in the picture....LOTS more blue sky, rushing water, mountain top. Oh, and more sheeps.

Yes RouxB, I agree...it seemed closer to my theaterical experience of the film and drew me in. Like you, I was quite taken with how vivid the nature scenes (blue sky, streams, trees, mountains) seemed on the Full Frame version. Nice to have this as a bonus disc!

That settles it--
if, in the motel scene, the 'Fullscreen' version shows more of Ennis's arm caressing Jack's, with wedding ring to boot, that's enough for me--I'm getting it.
(And what's the point in trying to be completist if you don't just break down and buy everthing, anyway?)
Thanks, all, for the info!
:)

John and everyone else, if you look at the link YB posted, in that scene you also get more of JACK'S CHEST, including more CHEST HAIR!!!!!!! It's worth it for that alone. :P

Thanks to Amazon Prime, I'll have Ennis's wedding ring and Jack's (or Jake's) chest hair by Wednesday night.
