WHAT KIND OF A MOVIE BUFF ARE YOU?

This year, we have seen quite some hit movies in Hollywood (Logan, Dunkirk, Wonder Woman, Beauty and the Beast and many more). Thus it’s not a surprise, for us to flock to multiplexes and theatres, time and again, to enjoy such movies in the larger screens. Now that brings me to represent few types of “movie connoisseurs” which you might get to see, maybe sitting right next to you! So here are some of them, which I had observed often:

· The punctual type: Not hard to miss them, as they are the ones who will be present at the theatre/multiplex before the movie starts, almost an hour ago! They will make sure that they don’t miss the trailer of the upcoming movies and would surely won’t miss out on the beginning of the film. Because doing that, would simply ruin the fun of watching from starting to ending.
· The serious type: These are a few, but indeed they are oh-so-serious! They will judge every scene, dialogue and would debate on for long hours as to why the climax scene was done in the prescribed manner. You naturally cannot win in the argument, so join in!
· The late-comer type: While you’re engaged in the movie, you see a figure approaching in the dark, bumping and pushing through the way to arrive at the respected seat. Yes, they are the late-comers, virtually late by an hour or so and then after seating themselves they try to grapple to the story by asking their adjoin seat, “Did I miss anything?!”
· The foodie type: Watching every movie is incomplete without a complete array of junk food. A big popcorn bucket is the beginning and the munching and gorging continues till the end of the movie, and at times, even after that! The poor neighbor sitting beside this foodie is left only to sigh and exhale loudly!
· The know-it-all type: Sitting either next to you or in front of you, they will keep disclosing every part of the movie even before the scene starts. This maybe their third or fourth time and every act is learnt by heart to them. No wonder, they give away the plot fluently, making the others annoyed. You can’t even glare at them; it’s dark! They will hardly notice it and on the contrary continue with their babble!
· The sobbing type: Any emotional film (sometimes non-emotional!) will make them grab their handkerchief. Their tear ducts will twitch at any melodrama or sad scene. Not only have the girls, the boys too seemed to rub their eyes quite often (although they won’t admit it!)
· The waiting type: They tend to wait till the movie crowd has gone out, just to watch the closing credits and also the ending song. Doubtlessly, “Bang for the back”.
Hollywood has emerged with some extraordinary films, superb direction and brilliant acting. Thanks to these moviegoers, these movies will do well enough in the box office.
