Cinema, but Not as We Know It
A friend recently asked me if I'd like to go to the cinema. Being a huge fan of the big screen, I said yes. I usually go to the cinema once or twice a week, so it's normal for me to spend a lot of money on the latest film. But when she told me the ticket cost f105, I was surprised. What's more, she said I'd receive my personalised character by email. Character? Was I going to act in the film? I prefer watching films to performing in them. And since when did it cost more than a hundred pounds to go to the cinema? Still, my friend was really interested in it, so I handed the money over.
Then I carried out some online research into what I was spending my money on, I realised that I'd signed up for an immersive (沉浸式的) cinema experience. This is a type of cinema where both actors and the audience (观众)take part in a remake of a classic film. Before the performance, you receive information about your character, and you need to spend time getting to know the character. You also need to buy a costume (戏服). You need to dress and act like your character in the performance.
When I arrived, I was greatly surprised at how professional (专业的)everything looked. The set, music, and lighting were all wonderful. I felt like I was actually in the film, which, of course, is the whole point of this experience. It was a remake of an old film, so everyone was dressed in old-style clothes. I'd thought mine was pretty good, but when I saw how much effort others had made, I felt uneasy. If you don't enjoy dressing up, you'd better think twice about going. There was a mix of professional actors who played the main characters and members of the public, like me, who were given unimportant roles to play. The professional actors were fantastic and really supportive. They offered lots of encouragement to all of us.
Was it worth the ticket price? I'd say so, ye
