    What is your philosophy on aspect ratios?

    Do you have any solid reasons for using a certain aspect ratio? Lately I've been kind of feeling that cropping to 2.35.1 or any widescreen ratio is an artificial, added aesthetic and that it doesn't necesarilly add depth to filmmaking, but it rather merely imitates bigger budget, hollywood...
