Begin with a question taken from the article – Is there a meaning regarding the ‘darkness’ of the cinema, and what makes it being one of the critical elements in the ‘opaque cube’?
The fast-food culture has entirely altered people’s consumption trend. The rise of streaming platforms is one of the major reasons contributing to the phenomenon, which provides accessibility to different movies for someone who has purchased the subscription plan. The purpose of going to the cinema therefore is no longer being significant.
However, the experience could be entirely different when one leaves the movie theatre. Watching movie in the theatre provides an immersive experience which is truly captivating, the sense of anticipation and the excitement that one can received in this darkened environment could be unlimited. Moreover, it is a shared experience when the audience is sitting in the cinema, the emotional impact could be tremendous due to the immediate feedback such as laughter or crying which have become contagious. Our instant response and emotional connection to the film concur, as it creates a sense of community that everyone is collectively engaging in the cinematic world.

You started your response by questioning the ‘darkness’ but did not answer your question in a later section. Writing a response also demands that you be able to answer the queries it poses through your understanding and reading. The first two paragraphs address “Darkness,” “fast-food culture,” and “streaming culture” as fragmented statements. Could you please explain how the fast-food culture is related to the streaming platforms? In your third paragraph, you write about the experience after leaving the theatre, but your previous section does not comply with this statement. Try to present your idea comprehensively to develop your argument.
