It had to do this because any less would not allow enough time for the film to move through. Newer projectors may have had 3-blade shutters - I'm not sure, I never saw one. | |

See youtube.com/watch?v=En__V0oEJsU at 5:04 for a detailed explanation. | |

Neither can I imagine that the frame is "flashed" in three different positions (that is, the film moves continuously and then you have three shutters or something like that). | |

Many modern LCD/LED etc TVs make everything look like a soap, even movies. There are some very jarring screens in the mainstream. I'm the proud owner of one of the last of the Kuro plasmas, against which 'regular' modern TVs look very harsh. [Jokingly, in our house, we call these TVs " 'the making of' documentary" TVs, as that's what they make movies look like] | |
