On Sunday the 13th, I saw Pan's Labyrinth in San Francisco and was floored by it's sheer brilliance and beauty. I had figured that the rest of the audience enjoyed the film as well, because I could hear them laugh when I laughed, gasp when I gasped and cheered when I cheered. But then, as the credits rolled, I began clapping and soon realized I was the only one doing so!
This has happened before. I've seen plenty of great movie in theatres, and with one exception, I have never heard the applause of a grateful audience. They only time I have ever had a chance to be a part of this type of event was during the premiere of Revenge of the Sith, when the all the movie patrons gave a standing round of applause.
Are these people lazy? Apathetic? Do movies only get cheered on at premeirs? What's the deal here?
