I am lucky enough to have a low cost cinema near me which is priced at £5.00 a ticket and another for just £3.50,I do love the feeling of being sat in the dark and having no distractions but to sit and watch the film. BUt I find it far from being a particualrly communal experience or some kind of primal expereince of sitting round stroy telling. I still think its far too of a passive experience and don't think its the same as sitting round with people and telling stories or participatory art forms where peoople interject or act out stories together or play music together. The cinema for me is far from the way its described here as some kind of sacred bond expereince or a primal hark back to our need to tell stories. This is well over the top description of the part that cinema plays in modern societies and how it brings us all together in our human expereinces.I would say TV drama does alot more and so many films made today are so bad and full of special effects and not really relatable stories that I find many of them quite alienating tbh. Give me a play any day and real live theatre or even the theatre live streams they now have in cinemas. MOst films are a let down for me tbh and so is the cinema going expereince especially in the UK when most people shuffle out afterwards hardly giving eye contact and looking down at their feet!!! hardly a communal expereince I think
