The difference between the way film and CCD react to light

So I finally had my first experience with a letus extreme. I got to use my Nikon lenses, and it was amazing! I never thought about it til now though, how differently a CCD and a frame of film react, and how you can notice the difference between something CCD shot and something film shot easily.

Whenever I shoot stills on 35mm film, I look through my 50mm f1.2 lens at f1.2, and it looks perfect. But when I develop the photo, I see how when the film reacts to light, it actually blurs what's out of focus even farther out of focus than it looked to my eye. But when shooting with a CCD, it records the exact image you see with the human eye, and doesn't react differently at all.

I'm sure everyone else noticed this before, but I just noticed it and wanted to post some examples. Also, I have no experience with CMOS censors, but I'm assuming they would react the same way as CCD's, not like film right?

thats the gg. it doesnt diffuse the light the same way as it striking a photo chemichal surface.
