If 3D is on trial, Ang Lee is Johnny Cochran!
In previous debates, though I've been a supporter of the recent 3D trend, I've been open to the opposing view. I'm no longer open to the opposing view.
3D is legit. It is a filmmaking tool that can be used to further the story. And if you don't believe this to be the case, that's just because you personally haven't imagined any way to do so. Don't feel bad, we can't all be Ang Lee. Go see Life of Pi in 3D, and eat your crow's pie.
In retrospect, frankly, I see no logical reason for a filmmaker to reject 3D as a legitimate artistic tool. Maybe you don't want to use it in your movie, and that is your prerogative. But it is a thing you can do. It is an added thing that can make your movie different. It is up to you to discover how this different thing can make your movie better. An extra tool is an extra tool. Period. End of debate.
P.S. I like hyperbole (let the debate rage on).
