Reading ‘Leaving the Movie Theater’ gives a mix of rational thinking and the narrator’s own personal feelings, including passion and dedication towards the movie and movie theater. Along with the reading, I was following the steps of the writer who observed every little distinction that makes watching movies in the theater different from watching television. I was smoothly led by the writer to know about every special function of cinema and how they make watching movies in theater become such enjoyable and aesthetic leisure in part of life. The distance between the screen and the audience works for the big screen overwhelms us in contrast to watching on our phones and televisions so as to immerse the audience in the movie plot. Functions introduced are many in the writing, such as the texture of the sound, the hall, the darkness, the obscure mass of the other bodies, the rays of light… Because of putting the effort into using these effects, watching movies in the theater really does do the work of art.
