Were they shot in 4k or something we just didn’t have TV’s that could see 4k back in the day?

A film negative is a physical object, like a painting. A painting does not have a resolution. The closer you get to it, there is detail and variation in color, texture, brushstroke, impurities, etc. all the way down to the molecular level. A film negative is the same. You can scan it at endlessly high resolution and there would always be more to see, even if it’s just the colors and textures of the film itself. A digital file however “stops” at the pixel level. A pixel is a flat square of color and no matter how much closer to it you get, the color and texture will be uniform within that square.
