What do you notice when watching movies?

Hi marie, good morning Like you I too love watching all the background stuff while watching a movie.Some of them have great interiors and of course spectacular outdoors shot in exotic places and how can one miss it? As you rightly say a good movie can be watched several times and we see new aspects each time...all the best

The second time around we always notice things we missed when we watched a movie the first time, that goes for a TV show too. Each time you see the movie or a rerun you notice different things. After so many times watching them, it gets a bit boring. Enjoy

I tend to only re-watch movies these days if I want to see the story or the actors. I actually don't re-watch them like I did when I was younger. However, if the movie is filmed some place I know really well, I've been known to comment on things, like one where they had the actors going into a tunnel on one side of town and out another tunnel on another side of town. "You can't get there from there!" I exclaimed kind of involuntarily... good thing I wasn't in the Alamo Drafthouse at the time!

Now at my age I do notice the other areas of the movie. When I was young, it is only the actors. Sometime ago my husband has the opportunity to take on a cameraman's job. Now when he watches a movie he would tell that this scene is taken from a crane, things like that. It is quite interesting actually. Now I know why the actors has to do several takes on a single scene. That is because the director wants different angles of the scene. This is what I see when the movie does not have much scenic views. For those which have, this is what cinemas are for. Breathtaking!!

Before I was watching a movie, I will first read a brief summary of the story or the story of the movie and of course, already knew the title of the film. When I was watching, I would pay attention to the names of the players and story lines from the movie, the time and the setting as well. Then the most recent is the attempt to understand the message or meaning of the story and try to apply the messages conveyed by the story. However, I do not always through these stages if the movie that I watched not so attracted my attention. If the movie was a series movie, of course, the story line, messages convey and character are nearly the same, but the setting or location of the places are different. So, I was not busy looking at the theme, but I was more of enjoying watching it.

I watch for memorable sequences and memorable lines. Also good fight scenes interest me. When I would be watching action movies, I would be on the look out for some inspiring scenes. Also not to forget the songs. Last but definitely not the least, the chicks!!!

There are several different things that I will notice. I enjoy looking at all the different aspects of the film, whether it's the setting, scenery, costume, just to name a few things.

Hi marie: When a film has a special impact on me of course I watch it more than once. In my case I concentrate on the dialogues and how deep the feelings that are present on the film impact me. I try to get these same feelings the director wants to make me feel and I try to get a better understanding of the film. ALVARO

when it comes to scenery, i bet "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" as Asian Landscape Scenery

marie, I usually look on the way the director presented the movie after watching the movie for 2 to 3 times(Obviously, storyline comes first).

Well I do notice that the best of movies usually have a unique plot or an unexpected twist to draw their audiences in. If the movies have similar plots to TV shows or older movies, then audiences typically the know ho to ending will play out therefore it is not fun to experience an outcome you've previously predicted. If you hypothesize an unlikely income and it turns out this outcome occurs, then it feels satisfying that you've determined something not probable and it's rewarding! If you don't guess right, then you're still winning in a sense, because then you get an unexpected outcome and it becomes more satisfying and exciting!

Hello marie, My husband says that my habit is IRRITATING when we watch movies. I maybe notice something not important from the movie and then I start about half hour talking and symbolic meaning lecture. My husband said if we watch one and half hour movie it CAN BE BECOME THREE HOUR LENGTH MOVIE if you don't be quiet! This maybe means I MUST be quiet. :D Hahah... Oh dear dear! I always start thinking if some face impression could mean two different things. I know! I think JUST TOO difficult way! :)

I love watching the scene, setting, & their costume. :)
