Going to the Movies
Going to the movies in America has always been a ritual. The American movie theater of the pre-television age was often a palace, an elaborate cathedral of family entertainment. Television changed all that. The newer theaters are usually multiplexes, often with more than 10 theaters showing separate films in one building. One custom remains, however: Americans still eat popcorn and candy and drink soda at movie theaters while watching the film. They buy these delights in huge packages and cups at stands in the theater lobby. The cinemas make their real money on these items. Next Section: Movies are Rated American Culture: Chapter Home
