Meanwhile digitization of actual film is manipulated to make it look more like digital cinema, with the grain and scratches removed, interpolated to 60 fps with jitter and shake suppressed.

I went to see Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight projected in all its original glory. I didn’t like the experience: the jitter, the scratches, the flicker of the blindingly bright snow... And the movie itself didn’t seem all that good.

I watched it three times on a blue-ray I bought a year later, and I loved everything about it, every time.

I think it's for more of us who are old folks for nostalgic reasons and cinephiles who want to see what it felt/looked like back in the day. It's not meant for regular people or younger audiences who aren't into the grindhouse nostalgia.

Or adding old photo filters to instagram. It gives it a nostalgic feel but you may regret it if you don't save the originals :)
