The article “Leaving the Movie Theatre” describes the features of a theatre that make people immerse themselves in a film, such as the dark environment, the light coming from the camera, the distance between people and the screen, and the sound. In my opinion, darkness is a big part of what gets people hooked on a film. Compared to watching a movie in the living room at home, the bright light, coffee table, TV cabinet, and other architectural elements of the home always remind us that we are moving around the home space. These often prevent us from concentrating on the content of the film. However, darkness tends to automatically isolate us from familiar spaces and to forget the boundaries of the original space. The cinema screen as the only light in a dark space draws people more into the world of the film by focusing on the story and the architectural elements of the set.
