Concerning Applause

[Eruanna]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Never any applauding, not any movie at any time anywhere have I heard anyone clap in a cinema and what's the point? It's not like a theatre when the actors are actually there. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I quite agree dragoneyes. In over thirty years of cinema going I have never experienced this either. <BR>I have seen RotK twice so far and the only noise that came from the audience were gasps, laughter and the occasional sound of sniffling into handkerchiefs (all in the appropriate places) <BR>Perhaps it is natural British reserve. Or perhaps good manners. After all, the film is not paused whilst the audience applauds, and important points can be missed (very annoying). Unlike live theatre where the actors can insert a necessary pause into the proceedings to accommodate the audience reaction.<p>[ 7:55 PM January 18, 2004: Message edited by: Eruanna ]
