thats what movies used to be. you would have people shouting stuff and having a good time
When I watched Avengers Infinity War and Endgame in the cinema on launch day, the audience was very reactive. There was cheering, applause, laughter, etc.
Was a great experience you rarely get in this extent, elsewhere. Every one in those theatre rooms was a big enough fan though, to go see the non dubbed version in a non English speaking country on launch day.
Stuff like that is great and ads to the cinema experience. However, I very much believe the „brainrotification“ of cinema, as described by oop, would infinitely detract from the experience for everyone but the most late stage adhd brainrot gen z and gen alpha ppl. I would not go to a cinema like that.
I feel like these kinds of movies are meant to be experienced in theatre's with others, it adds to the experience when everyone is openly reacting to the scenes. But I sure as shit don't want any of this behavior for more serious movies, so there's a time and a place for everything.
Yes absolutely. In a serious film that‘d be very much out of place. But also, actually serious films usually don’t have „epic“ twists and encourage cheering on the protagonist. And I can absolutely excuse an audibly sobbing seat neighbour, if the film was sufficiently impactful or laughter if I’m watching a comedy. Which all does happen. Unless either director or audience were utterly tone deaf, most movies make the audience react in a way that’s appropriate for the kind of film it is.
Here in western europe, such behaviour would be VERY frowned upon. You go to the theater to see the movie on a big screen with good sound. And you shut the hell up from the moment the lights go out. You don't talk, you don't shout, you don't applaud. Laughing and crying are socially acceptable if not too loud. If you want to talk, go to a bar. If you want to talk during a movie, buy your own projector. Want to scroll on your phone? Go to the bathroom. But in the theater, you sit down and shut the hell up. At least here, in quiet and peace-loving (and slightly boring) western europe :)
Good movies still get good audiences. When I saw Deadpool & Wolverine, the audience was laughing and engaging the whole time, it was great.
This behavior is acceptable for mass entertainers like the MCU movies or Mission Impossible etc but I want none of this for serious cinema
