In most major cities, such an issue will probably never arise. Every time, fine almost every time I go to the movies I end up getting severely annoyed and frustrated by the insensitivity of some people. Oddly enough, it’s the same all over the city.
At first I was sure that people were aware of a cinema being a public place and everyone paid to be in the movies; I am not so sure anymore. How can people be so self- centered and conveniently disregard others?
So here are some basic ethics/ common manners you should’ve already known as a human being. It is really unfortunate that a basic thing such as this that even a child would know to adhere has to be brought to attention and highlighted as a reminder to fellow Malaysians so as to not bother others and ruin their movie experience.
Here they are:
1. Do not talk in the cinema, period.
2. Silent your phones and once again shut up.
3. Please do not kick/shake the seats in front of you with your legs. Yes, they even do it when there’s someone sitting in the seat in front of them.
4. Do not read out every single line that comes out on the screen i.e. at the end of a trailer, ‘Coming soon’ like seriously? Do you need to read it out loud and share that information with people?
This may not seem a big deal, but when this happens almost all the time you get to questioning that do Malaysians not possess even basic manners? And then there are those who even when you ‘shoo’, go on talking as if nothing happened.
So yes despite sounding like a douche, I am glad I expressed myself and conveyed this message.
