I’ve been thinking about this recently. I’ve noticed many old music videos and television shows. Specifically old Beatles music videos and old Twilight Zone episodes have been remastered for Blu-ray with almost no imperfections whatsoever. My question is, how is it that something shot on 35mm film can looks so clear when transcribed to digital? How is it that it can project so large on a screen when the film itself is so tiny?
Thank you

To add to what others have said I’d take a look at the size of the digital sensors in modern cameras, they also are roughly the same size as 35mm film and often smaller. The ‘sensor’ in your eyes is also much smaller again
