Reading Response: Roland Barthes

In my opinion, the article “Leaving the Movie Theater” is trying to analyse the experience of going to the movie theater to see a movie. Since we have all experienced that feeling of coming back to reality when leaving the theater, the author believes that watching a movie is hypnotic, but he is aware the he is two persons in the cinema. The first one is absorbed to the movie experience like a person peering through a keyhole, and a second person who is trying to observe things around him in the theater. I think the author likes going to the movie theater although the title is “leaving” since the article is focused on his experience and he said that it is “hypnotic”.
