For Chinese new years, I received 2 free tickets from a supplier. This was a good reason to dig into the movie theaters again and see what is on the screen. After browsing on the websites, I understood why people are not going to the movies. Did you ever heard of the movie "Two Worlds"?? See the image below. Doesn't it look like a movie from the eighties, where we still want to find E.T. and E.T. wants to find his way back home?
Besides the fact that there is not a lot of good movies on the screen, the price is also not encouraging. This movie cost 60RMB-80RMB, 6-8 times as much as buying a DVD. Understandable that people will buy a dvd instead. After a good search, I finally found a movie which was worth to go: Valkyrie, with our one and only Dutch actress Carice van Houten. It was Friday night and about 10 people also had the same idea. So we had lots of space and not much of noise (very rare in China!). After the movie ended, I was still relaxed in my chair. Around me people were already up and queuing at the exit door, as if they were in a hurry. Even the "ayis" where inside the theater doing the cleaning. The movie just finished 5 seconds ago!! After I was kicked out of my chair I was wondering if I will ever go back to the movie theaters again in China.
