A show is a show no matter what...
I have recently learnt that most people of this day and age dont seem to care much about others when it comes to shows. Be they TV shows, movies, stage shows, orchestra performances, there will always be a show where the person in front of you doesnt care about the person behind them.
Let me start at home.
I enjoy watching stupid TV shows, but am quite annoyed when others tell me the show is dumb, stupid, silly, etc WHILE I watch..or better yet, tell me what they think will happen.
Students often get together to go watch a movie together. For the few like me, I paid good money to watch the film and want to hear the dialogue. Laughing is ok, but talking during the movie is like a cell phone going off.. Most of the time it just spoils the movie for those that have not seen the movie.
I love going out to the theatre to see a stage show. They are good and fun, but theatres are designed to be sat in while the performance is on. Like the show I went to last. It was at the Monte Casino - the people in front of me kept moving forward for some unknown reason. No, they didnt even move forward in those suspense scenes like everyone else did. They spoke throughout the performance. Does anyone have respect for the performers? When I pay for a performance, I want to see, hear and experience the performance, not see, hear and experience the people sitting in front of me.
I have total respect for those of us that go to orchestral performances! We sit and listen..I look through opera glasses to watch how the members play their instruments. I sit back in the chair. I respect the ears of others by checking the program so I dont clap where I'm not meant to clap - inbetween movements!
I'm just so glad I had the bringing up I had - learning ettiquette for so many things. SIGH - I wish others would observe others to learn behaviour from them. I include myself in the others, as I havent learnt not to pick my nose in public...
I believe that no matter what show you see, you need to give the same respect to others, irrespective of your age or social standing.
