This is why I'm not impressed by The Police.
What it is:

What it could have been:

That one remix was worth the whole movie, IMO. :-)

The music is OK but the singing is just tolerable (once) because there
was another famous song with sort of the same lyrics. Your comment does
not make sense because it violates the basic principles of cause and effect.
If that was the best part of the movie. I'll add it to my list of movies
that do not have to be watched. ;)

Well OK but what do you mean?
Sting composed and The Police recorded this song in 1977.
A guitar , a drums set, a bass, a voice, playable everywhere with small
technical needs.... elegance.
The movie cover 24 years later is not so bad if you like when it costs a lot
of money and takes 20 times as much people.
I still prefer simplicity
Small is beautiful :)

I think the things I like about the second song are the parts that aren't in
the first one at all.
As a side note, I find it amusing that the second movie has black bars on
the sides *and* the top and bottom, and yet still has the wrong aspect
ratio!

In order for a video to not to fill the entire YouTube player horizontally,
you have to explicitly make the video have a 4:3 resolution. This means that
for a widescreen movie clip you have to add empty space above and below in
order to make the video have a 4:3 resolution. (If you sent a video to
YouTube which had eg. a 16:9 resolution, it would automatically fill the
player window horizontally.)
This raises the question: Why does someone explicitly convert a widescreen
movie clip to a 4:3 resolution by adding empty space before sending the video
to YouTube? Why go through the trouble in the first place?

Yeah, but they added too much black space and squished the movie in the
process. It's funny that they cared enough to try, but still got it wrong.

I guess they may have added the video before YouTube went widescreen.
