These days with the cost of movie tickets in most cenima and with a lot of streaming services like Netflix, Amazon prime and so on, most people don't buy movie tickets. When was the last time you bought a ticket for a movie, and what movie made you buy it?
 
It was 20 years ago (well, cinema is not at all my priority:LOL:: I must save for the third age, as it's likely the retirement age in my country will be soon 78 years old, so no more cinema). The movie was I am Sam: it's the story of a barman suffering from intellectual diseases who has a 7 years old daughter and he and his lawyer's fight when Sam loses the child custody. Sam hasn't the money to pay the lawyer and she agrees to work as a lawyer pro bono, touched by Sam's circumstances. A movie worth seeing.
 
@pousinha twenty years is a pretty long time. I can understand your point though. Like myself i have never been to the cinema even once. Maybe when i finally get married, i might just go with my wife just to get the experience.

Hoping you'll finally get the experience:cool:. My best wishes. When I was a teenager and young adult, I had the habit to go to the cinema sometimes, as they were other times. I was a middle-class girl. But times change and many western countries are facing the threaten of lack of pensions, especially in the case of the millennials generation and so on (while X generation could access retirement near to the age of 80 years old, only receiving a miserable amount. That's why nowadays it's to calculate any risk of spending every single penny.

Lol that's true, things are pretty costly as it is, so one needs to be careful when it comes to how they spend.

I bought a movie ticket before the pandemic strikes the world. After that, I no longer go to a cinema. I only watch a movie on my phone.

That's understandable, with our smartphones we now have easy access to movies, especially with the streaming services.

Yes but it's also different when a movie is watched in a cinema because of the wide screen. We can clearly see the beauty of the scenes and setting.

Yes, right! I do the same on DailyMotion and YouTube, mainly through a netbook. Counting on the great advantage I can choose the language of the program (I mainly watch in Spanish: being at a cinema I couldn't choose Spanish language)... :ROFLMAO: .

I can speak and write a little bit of Spanish. We had a curriculum at the university where I studied , a Spanish subject , 12 units :LOL:
 
Spanish is the qualification language to teach at formal schools also, as my second degree and postgrad was Hispanic Arts. My idea is to reach the mother tongue level (according to the tests, I should have reached the C1/C1+ level), as even a degree can't offer so much. So watching programs in Spanish results helpful for the purpose😊.

Yes that's what i heard, and watching with others as well always makesi it fun. I haven't had the experience before though.
 
My husband and I used to be movie buffs and visiting movie theaters frequently ( almost every weekend) before pandemic. But lock down changed it. Now, we hardly go to theater unless it's a movie worth spending money to watch in theater. The last one was for a Bollywood movie called Diplomat. It was 2_3 months back

The movie is really good. Very well made. It was based on a true event in recent times. So, if you enjoy such reality based movies, this is a worth watch. But then not something to pay tickets for. There is so special effects or visual treat, unless you like to pay and watch some good story and delivery on a big screen. Now it's available on OTT. I think Netflix or Amazon prime has it.
