Union Station:: "Seeing a movie is a collective experience" by mihuhtal
written: 21 June 2001 last time there: May 2001
Going to a movie at the theatre located in the ground floor of the Union Station is an interesting experience since the audience reacts laudly to happenings on the screen. Watching Cast Away, a man shouted "Forget Wilson" to Hanks who was about to dive after his volleyball. Or, in The Wedding Planner, there is a scene where Jennifer Lopez acts quite badly: the audience started to laugh. The Union Station theatre is known among locals for this behaviour but you need to see a not-too-depressing movie to experience it.
Pros: The audience becomes part of the movie experience.
Cons: Not all movies trigger a reaction
