Q:It has recently been announced that a new movie theater may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why?
When asked about the personal opinion about setting up a brand-new cinema in the community where I live in, a number of people hold the unfavorable attitude toward the issue, while others do not. Dreaming about the great relaxation Hollywood blockbusters may provide are those people who cannot be too excited about hearing the news. contrary with the opinion of those people is my heartfelt objection to the issue when my personal experiences are taken into consideration.
The decisive factor I think should be pointed out at the very beginning is the disturbing noise released from the cinema theater at the mid night. As is known to all, although measures should be taken, we can still hear the shout and cry from exciting movies clearly when we are lying in the bed, tired and drowsy, but never manage to fall asleep. Last year, when I was 22, I lived in the downtown of shanghai, preparing for the most important test in my life--Toefl ibt. Near my house stands a Disco bar. Every single night, I cannot focus on listening the lecture and practicing integrated writing for the clamor never blur to me. As a result, I failed to achieve ideal marks and have to prepare it for another year. This case is not rear, in reality, frequently many citizens are annoyed by the sound pollution around this city. If I have a chase to move to a new home, I would rather choose to the one in a small town, or in the rural areas instead of an apartment Shanghai, not mention the one near the cinema.
Secondly, I disapprove the idea because that I don’t like watching movie in the cinema at all. Is it worth spending lots of money and energy to go outside to see a movie which you may download a high resolution version form internet several days later, or watching a movie which you cannot discuss it with your friend freely because there are rules to keep quiet? I am just a student and only have 500RMB for my monthly living expenses. Last month my girlfriend invited me to watch a new movie her longed for called The Mirror which cost me 150RMB for only 2.5hours. I didn’t want to irate her by not providing the chance, so I buy the ticket. As a result I applied for a part time job to balance the budget, and worked without lunch for 2 weeks. Maybe spending money to the cinema is a nice thing to do, but not for me.
Almost every public construction in Shanghai may let to some kinds of transportation problems, so as the cinema. Have you ever experienced being trapped in the street for almost an hour or so when you have an important meeting to attend? If you never experienced the huge traffic-jam in Shanghai, you would never know the anger and despair. My dad, a businessman in a finance company, almost got fired by his boss last month for his absent for an important client meeting. He was stuck on the railway for 1 hour because of the roads maintenance. I will not let the busy traffic reach my community by voting for the plan.
When those people are carried away by the movies, isn’t it rational that they give some consideration to the huge cost—confusing noise, high expenses and heavy traffic because of the building? It would be reasonable to believe that, like some people maintain, a movie theater will provide us fun and amusement, but it would gone too far to say that supporting the issue will rise our living standard when take the problems it brings into consideration. To sum up, due to the above mentioned reasons, I go completely against for the plan. |
