Shhh! I Am In the Movie Theater!

My name is Nora and I’m an intern at Wf360. I come from a French-speaking city in Switzerland called Geneva. I have been in New York for 8 weeks and I still am amazed about everything I experience.

Since I’ve been in NYC I have been to the movie theater 3 times and watched 3 different genres of movies. Even so, I was surprised to see that the moviegoers reacted very similarly every single time during the movie… something I’m not used to in Geneva.

First, almost everyone is eating popcorn or candy witch makes a lot of noise. In Geneva, only a few people eat during the movie and they try to make as little noise as possible. In NYC, if you make noise when you eat your food no one seems to care, while in Geneva people would stare at you because it is very rude and disturbing to everyone else in the theater.

Second, people here react very loudly during the movie. For example, when something funny happens in the movie, everyone is laughing loudly or when a handsome actor or actress appears on the screen, people scream and clap their hands. But what shocked me the most is that some people are making their own comments during the movie. Last Sunday I saw the Twilight saga: “New Moon” with the very famous Robert Pattinson. At the end of the movie he asks the main character to marry him. Then suddenly, a girl in front of me (who apparently is a huge Robert Pattinson fan) stood up and screamed,  “This can’t be happening!” Directly after that, the entire room was filled with laughter and everyone was talking about the incident. Nobody seemed appalled at what just happened with the girl in front of me. 

In Switzerland no one would ever talk during the movie and wouldn’t dare to scream something loud enough for others to hear. We are more afraid about what others would think about us if we were loud. And for sure everyone would be very shocked if something like that happened. I am not too familiar with the rules of respect here in NYC or the US but in Switzerland, we learn that we have to be respectful during a movie and should never disturb the other spectators. 

With all that said, I think the American theater going experience is growing on me. I think that it is fun to hear people laughing out loud, clapping their hands and reacting strongly to everything that happens during the movie. It makes you feel you are part of it and that you are sharing an experience with the whole room. In Switzerland, you feel like you are watching the movie alone even if the room is full.

Even if at first I was very surprised, during all the movies I saw in New York, I loved to listen to the reactions, eating my popcorn without being scared of disturbing someone and freely laughing out loud if the movie is funny.

I’ve learned to realize that I like it more when people react to the movie because it makes it more entertaining. Until the movies in NY, I’ve never felt like I was communicating with the entire audience and bonding over a simple movie. Maybe I can bring this back to my friends in Switzerland.

I'm impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this during my search for something concerning this.

Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
