Well,

as a person who saw the unblurred version, I'd say you're not missing anything.

and watching the Chinese subtitled VCD version this morning, I'd be glad to get a copy of the blurred version, just for curiosity's sake - what and how did they do it?

My only gripe would be non-widescreen/anamorphic, but it is a known fact that Kubrick along with Pollack only allow their movies to be released PS on video.

Also, all on set monitors are just that...they shoot widescreen, or full frame with (marked out) standard monitors.

It's still a poor movie, apart from some well-acted scenes.
