Theater kids
When I was a child, my impression of movie theaters was that of eating popcorn and cola.
and cool place.
In the old days, on a hot summer day, an uncle who looked like a salesman would take off his jacket and doze comfortably in her seat.
She is holding a company paper bag.
Moreover, the front and back are reversed so that the company name cannot be seen.
At that time, salesmen wore company badges, so they may have folded their jackets so that they could not be seen.
In the blank time until the next sales visit, he probably rested at a coffee shop or a movie theater.
I also had the habit of going to the movie theater to adjust the time for flights and bullet trains when I traveled to other regions.
Because of that, I can’t watch it from the beginning to the end, and I’m fine with leaving even halfway through.
Even now, if I have time, even for an hour, I go to the cinema to see a new movie.
I like the atmosphere of the movie theater, not just the movie itself.
The child of the protagonist of New Cinema Paradise who goes to the cinema.
That closed dark space.
Air-conditioned and sound-controlled space.
A dark space where there is a shop and you can quietly eat drinks and snacks by yourself.
Well, it would be nice to have a script for a movie about a woman in a movie theater shop.
In a movie theater, there is a space and time for only one person, surrounded by strangers.
Loneliness in the masses.
Children bring comic magazines into closets out of sight of their parents.
It’s like being alone in a cave when you’re heartbroken.
Come to think of it, this kind of hikikomori is a weak-willed boy’s habit.
like me.
Do girls have this habit too?
I always look for the good in movies, not the bad.
Look for fun moments.
And only there remains in memory, one person remembers.
Don’t look at it like a critic.
Choji Yodogawa, a group of movie friends that I attended when I was in elementary school, taught me.
After watching this movie, I wonder who and what kind of people I should recommend it to.
Are you the director of the hospital association?
Is it a mother and child facility or a parent and child at a nursery school?
Employee family?
Are you a student who has attended college classes?
The students who came to the recruitment briefing?
For staff who came to Ginza for workshops and meetings.
Who would be happy to see
I think about that even when I’m a busybody.
Even when I look at the windows of shops in Ginza, I naturally think about whether it can be used as a souvenir for long service awards or as a souvenir for new employee training participants.
Old man with long legs or old man Santa Claus?
I decided to make an anime as a movie present for my children this summer vacation.
I’m sure you’ll be happy with that too.
I ordered a ticket for my parents and children for the first time.
So that mothers and children can go see it.
Buy your own for your father.
Come to think of it, he never bought a pair of movie tickets.
Why not?
Can’t you sell it for a date?
After all, movies are a way to heal lonely people.
Surprisingly, the film is not the subject of controversy.
If you argue, it will turn into a battle of criticism.
Maybe that’s why I stopped reading film criticism magazines.
But sometimes I miss the friends I can talk about movies with.
These days, the morning audience at movie theaters is mostly old people.
A long time ago, I thought about a cinema day service.
When the time-honored movie theater in Tohoku was closed, I went to see it after being consulted by the owner of the movie theater.
It was an old building with many stairs and steps, so I gave up and refused.
Now that I think about it, I did something regrettable.
The movie theater was also a cultural asset.
Now it exists only in my childhood memories.
Parents should take their children to the cinema before they are ignored.
I want my family to make memories of eating popcorn together.
Dating is from the movies, young man.
At least that was the case in my grandfather’s time.
The girl then must be taking her grandchildren to the movies now.
If I had a chance encounter at the movie theater, I’m sure I would be able to make another movie.
A chance reunion at a movie theater.
Likely or not?
This also ends with an old man’s delusion in a movie theater.
Happy, happy, today is the end of the show.

It’s not the popcorn’s fault.
It’s because I skipped the cafeteria walk because I was too immersed in the memories of the movie theater.
