just like when we cut through the smoke to reach those in need, movie theaters have this unique way of cutting out the daily noise of life, offering a pre-introductory escape before the main event that captivates our senses. there's something about sitting in the dark, with the anticipation building from the moment you receive the notification of a movie's release, to the relaunch from zero as the screen lights up. it's a communal experience wrapped in a non-disclosure agreement of unwritten rules, where everyone agrees to embark on this journey together, forgetting the outside world for just a few hours.
