Going to the movies


I have found pleasure and escape through many pop cultural things like watching a specific television show or reading a book. But I seem to find the most pleasure and escape by going to the movie theater. I probably find this to be most pleasurable because of the entire experience as a whole. Not that long ago I went to the movie theater with some of my friends to go see Annabelle. I feel the overall pleasure and escape is more intense when watching a scary movie. You are there with your friends or maybe you significant other; you get to experience it all together. I usually never jump out of my seat when watching scary movies. But for this movie I intentionally let my guard down because it’s fun to get scared. It was also fun to watch my friends get scared as well, but more than just your friends you get to see the reactions of everyone watching the movie. It’s almost like it’s a community bonding. I got to see everyone scream and jump out of their seats and we all just laughed it off until the next scary scene comes. I also feel that this “community bonding” is strong with comedy movies as well. I went to go see The Wedding Ringer and I got to hysterically laugh with everyone that was there. The experience as a whole is fun, and that is why I find it most pleasurable.

  1. I agree with you when you say that you find pleasure and escape when you go to the movie theater. I feel exactly the same way. I feel that I'm in a completely different world when I'm there. I find it to be an enjoyable experience.
