Would you rather immerse yourself in a pile of pillows and blankets with your friends while watching a film or doll up to view the big screen? The price, food and comfort level each alter between the two. Going out to the movies and staying at home to watch a flick have several differences. One of the main differences between the movie theater and staying at home is the price. Movie tickets can be expensive, and this is often one of the reasons why people stay home. Staying at home can save a large amount of money, because the temptations are not available like buying more snacks than necessary or buying a 3-D ticket which costs even more money. Families usually enjoy watching a movie at the theater together. If this family is large, the …show more content…
At home, there are no worries about talking strangers or the distractions of cell phone sounds and lights. Large crowds of people in one theater can also be difficult, because more likely than not there is someone always excusing themselves to use the restroom and distracting others from the movie. Even though movie theater seats usually provide maximum comfort, one has the opportunity to curl up on the couch with as many fuzzy blankets and plump pillows as he or she chooses. At the theater, it is common courtesy to be aware of surroundings and to try to avoid kicking seats, spilling food, or whispering too loudly. At home, the privacy eliminates these stresses and worries. Spending quality time with friends or family at home while viewing a movie is more intimate because there aren’t strangers surrounding you, and the movie can be paused to discuss any thoughts or opinions. If there are children present while watching the movie at a theater, they usually have one million questions to ask. It is usually hard to calm them down or answer any silly questions that they have. At home, the children can feel free to express themselves and be curious without distracting the public viewers because of the intimacy of family at home. Privacy is highly limited at the theater and it is difficult to release any emotions as freely as one would at home. One could laugh at the top of their lungs or begin sobbing with a box of tissues nearby, and no one would judge. In public, respect is mandatory. A person has to completely filter what he or she says or does because of the public. Lastly, while watching a movie at home, one has the ability to pause, rewind, or forward whenever needed. Overall, it depends on the person whether he or she prefers to adventure to the movie theater or enjoy the privacy at home. The movie theater or the living room setting are both great ways to watch a movie, but

This essay will compare Marx’s understanding of the relationship between laborers and capitalists and Wollstonecraft’s understanding of the relationship between women and men. Both Marx and Wollstonecraft’s conception of these groups of people show a large gap between their treatment and status in society. Marx argues that capitalism is not created by nature and the unequal relationship between laborers and capitalists is not humane. In other words, it is actually the cause of social and economic problems during that time period. On a similar note, Wollstonecraft believes that the oppressive relationship between men and women is also unnatural. The standards for men and women are placed by society, not by biological facts. Society and how people
Even though there is a great amount of audience participation, one really has to turn your attention to the actors in the movie. It takes a special kind of person to really understand the movie they are in.
On Saturday July 29th, 2017, I was able to catch one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a while, Girls Trip. I was able to view the movie with four of three of friends of mines at the Regal Moorestown Mall Stadium 12 & RPX, located in Moorestown, New Jersey. My experience started with the aromas of popcorn. I am one of those type who has to have popcorn with lots of butter while enjoying a movie. After I purchased my popcorn and bottled water I was ready to enjoy this night with my friends. However, I wasn’t the one who purchased the tickets so the seats choices where horrible. They were floor level, on the very far right and third row. Still trying to make the best out of it I reclined my see as far back as possible so my neck would bother me the during the movie. The theater was packed, mostly with women.
In a movie theater, there are experiences that some will not have while at home and watching Netflix, such as the enormous screen, comfortable movie theater seating, and the theater speakers. Netflix can be used in a causal way with friends, but the main purpose of watching a movie is enjoying the experiences one can get from the movie itself. While at the movie theaters, the environment is completely different, because everyone is supposed to be quiet or else they risk being thrown out. The experience does not compare to the feeling someone gets when that intense scene appears, and they get immersed into the atmosphere of the theater. Movie theaters have the opportunity to give someone an unforgettable experience unlike Netflix, because the ambiance is truly unique and unmatched by anyone’s living
When we first got to the movie theater, it was around 4:20 in the afternoon. The movie didn’t start until 4:45 so we sat in the car for a few minutes. I noticed that were only a few other cars in the parking lot. When we walked up to the ticket booth there was a sign saying to buy our tickets at the concession stand so we proceeded to go inside. The lobby featured a game room to your right as you enter and a large concession stand. The tickets were at matinee price which is seven dollars. This is only two dollars cheaper than the regular price for admission. I decided not to buy any snacks due to being familiar with the cinema’s prices. One of my friends spent around twenty dollars on popcorn, a drink , and her ticket. There is a “manager special” at the theater that includes two large drinks...

It can be difficult to re-create the experience of going to the movie theater. However, home theaters and in-home entertainment has become more popular as online streaming has taken a precedence in the industry.
During the 1920s and 30s seventy-five percent of all Americans are said to have gone to movie theatres at least once a week. This is because this was the time of the great depression (1930s) where unemployment reached high levels and money was infrequent. Thereby forcing Americans to take on a positiv...
The answer is beautifully summarized by Academy Award winner actor Jack Nicholsen, in one of his speech during Oscar award ceremony, “… they entertain us; they offer hopes (and) give traumas; they take us places, we never been, just even for few moments; they can take us away, when we want to get away; Movies inspire us; they challenge us and despite our differences, they are (the) common link to humanity, in all of us.” In my opinion, this statement is the true reflection of the reason, why people love to watch movies. Movies allow us to escape. But there is a value in this escapism, its more than simple eluding.

At home, you can control the variety and ways to watch a movie. People buy many movies to watch at home and it can be anything at any time, even at any place. The only bad thing about it is that they cannot see any of the newest released movies that recently came out in theaters. There are two types of ways people watch movies in their homes. One way is people who already own DVDs or have bought many of them and start watching them in their DVD players.
What is also available to us due to digital television is films that have perhaps just finished in the cinema streamed into our own home without having to go down to the video shop or have to spend money in stores. There are channels which are specifically catered for different genres of films for example, if a person likes up and coming film makers and some iconic films Film4 is possibly the best place to look or if they have children and want to watch a traditional Disney movie obviously the Disney Channel is where you should look. But what happens if you want to watch a specific movie this weekend and it isn’t on any channels? Well you can now go online and do one of three things, search to see if your film is online and watch it there, order if off a shopping webpage like Amazon, or you can now rent your film off companies who send the DVD out to you in the post.

"Books and movies are like apple and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different.” said Stephen King (goodreads.com). It is indeed true, books and movies have several common things and yet have differences. They both give us the same story, but are viewed completely different. Reading books and watching movies are similar as they both tell a story and give details and information about the story. Reading books or watching movies gives the reader and the viewer the same feeling and emotions about the story. People can feel gloomy or pleased with the story after reading a book or watching a movie. Both books and movies have the same general concepts, which are the themes and main characters of
