Letters To Cinema

This week, I touch on an ongoing argument: the difference between watching films in motion picture theaters vs. on a digital home device. My idea on this topic is that motion picture theaters provide a hypnotizing effect that you can’t get anywhere else. The definition of hypnosis says that it is a trance state where someone can be manipulated both physically and emotionally. This is used to control how we feel in theaters by utilizing images and sounds as, metaphorically, the pocket watch that hypnotizes us.
