                                                  A WAY OF FEELING DIFFERENT 　
     Where to watch the movie is the issue that most people have difficulty in answering.While some of them think that watching a movie at home is more appealing,others think that watching a movie at the theater is more preferable.However,they are all aware that there are many differences between watching a movie at home and at the theater.These differences outnumber the similarities.

       There are only a few similarities between watching a movie at home and watching a movie at the theater like emotions that we feel and comfortableness.Firstly,both can give us a feeling of mercy,sympathy,sorrow,happiness.Watching a movie affects us profoundly.We can be affected either negatively or positively.Having watched it,we can feel more stronger.In the second place,in both of them,we feel we are relaxed and we watch the movie comfortably.At home,we lie on the sofa,we can rest.Similarly,at the theater,we sit in a comfortable way and we are away from all the material things.

         Besides these similarities,there are many differences between watching a movie at home and at the theatre such as a movie's atmosphere, price, being open to differences, the possibility of disturbance. First of all,there is a different atmosphere in the theatre.In contrast to home,in theaters,we watch the movie with effects.Home and theatre are different from each other in terms of sound system and visual images.Even a different voice tone provides us with more horror and romantic elements.Secondly,while we have to spend a lot of money to watch the movie in a theatre, there is no such an obligation at home. We can easily buy a cd/dvd and watch it at low cost. In the third palce,while we are watching the movie in a different place with different people,we can benefit from their perspectives,thoughts.Their comments enable us to develop our mind's.We have a chance to regard ourselves as a differnt people.Lastly,in the theaters,there is a possibility of being disturbed. That is,one can lose his concentration when someone goes in the cinema hall.When you have to go out of this hall,you can disturb other people.Also in theaters,one can miss some episodes when he goes to loo.On the other hand,at homes,one can watch this movie in one room alone without limitation or disturbance.Homes are different from theaters in this point,too.

       In conclusion,the differences outnumber the similarities between watching a movie at home and at the theater.They are similar in terms of emotions that we feel and comfortableness.They are different from each other with respect to the movie's atmosphere,price,being open to differences and the possibility of disturbance.I believe watching a movie provides us with empathy and tolerance feelings.It does not matter where to watch a movie as long as a movie can move us.
