SCORSESE TOUTS WONDERS OF BLU-RAY

Director Martin Scorsese attempted to perk up public enthusiasm for the Blu-ray high-definition home theater system Monday by declaring that "it creates a completely different experience" from conventional DVDs. Viewing restored versions of older movies, he told a Blu-ray convention in Washington D.C. was "like experiencing the film for the first time again." He added later, "I have a daughter who's 10, and she can't tell the difference between old films and new films." While it can't beat the experience of seeing a movie in a theater on a big screen, the Blu-ray system, he said, "allows the film to be seen as closely as possible to how it was intended to be."
