Response to “Leaving the Movie Theater”
Movie is the use of sight, sound and space to create a unique artistic conception that not only satisfies people’s response to leisure and laziness, but also has hypnotic properties. From a visual point of view, the movie is like a beam of light breaking through the darkness and bringing a shock to the audiences’ soul. The audiences can experience the unique charm of the movie from the visual and text, whether it is the magnificent scenes or the vivid characters. In particular, combined with the unique auditory experience, the movie brings the perfect audio-visual experience. The sound of the movie provides an effective auxiliary function, has a strong fidelity and brings a unique experience to the eardrum. In the process of watching the movie, audiences can be completely immersed in such audio-visual experience and get resonance. The movie creates a dark space, which satisfies the fantasy of dusk and makes people feel more relaxed and free. The unique audio-visual feel, matching the quiet and dark environment, creates a hypnotic or erotic atmosphere. I think this is one of the core reasons why many couples like to watch movies in the cinema. The unique audio-visual effects and spatial feeling also make the movie can bring audiences a completely different feeling compared to television. It is a mixture of leisure, entertainment, silence, eroticism and other aspects of the mood, and audiences better show their human nature with a more relaxed mind in the dark.

I appreciate your reflection on the features of the film and theater, e.g., sight, sound, and space. Could you elaborate on how these technical specificities resonate with the viewers’ watching experience? In your last sentence, you mention “human nature”. Could you explain further what you mean by this nature and how it relates to the “Darkness” of the theater?
