Joseph Gordon-Levitt in The Walk.
It’s a joy to see a movie in the theater. It’s an irreplaceable pleasure to lose yourself there in the dark, to surrender your attention to something completely, to become part of a fleeting community made up of you and everyone else in that room for the span of 100 minutes or so, united in what you’re viewing together. Seeing something projected on a big screen is great…but we watch films on screens of all sizes these days, from mammoth HDTVs to (gulp) iPhones, and honestly, plenty of them aren’t any worse when they’re scaled down.
