Audiences Applaud
I have a pet peeve where I have an extreme annoyance to people who clap after the end of movies. This questions my thought on humanity, whether they know reality and fantasy, and if they know that it is not real. Knowing that the directors of the movie are not even benefiting from the audiences clapping, all the directors care is the high ratings a payments for watching or buying the movie. Also knowing that people would clap at the end of the movies, it influences me to not go out and watch a movie because of how irritating it is to my opinion. Due to this irritating expression of enjoyment of a movie, I feel that people should not clap after a movie is finished.
            There is one thing clapping onto a real theatre, where real actors perform, but applauding a projecting screen with literally nothing there is just utterly annoying. This socially awkward person who has no awareness to his or her surrounding of others must be notifies immediately. These pestering people who claps regardless to whatever it is, bothers me to my full extent. I try to watch and enjoy a movie for entertainment but people who clap to every scene they show is just idiotic and ruins my pleasure of watching a movie. I remember awhile ago, personal experience, where I was watching the movie “Michael Jackson This Is It.” As I was watching the movie, fascinated by his life and fame, I hear clapping from a distance in the room to every scene they have shown. Knowing, during that moment, that the movie was around an hour and fifty minutes long and knowing that the person will continue to clap every scene, my sanity was diminishing by moments. But because I’m a genuine and caring person, I insisted to not ask the person to stop clapping, no matter how much I wanted to. After the movie was over, with my sanity completely depleted, I took and long glance at the person when he wasn’t looking, remembering that the person will always be hated by me for the rest of my entire life span.
            Directors and actors, in reality, love the audiences applaud when finishing their amazing performances on plays, but in movies it is completely pointless to applaud something that is not physically there. Directors, who create movies, have no benefits to when people applaud to movies once finished. The only thing that will help benefit the movie is to purchase the movie, so the directors and actors can receive their salary. So, clarifying that there is no point to clap to a movie before, during, or after a film. Also, directors do not need applauding to know whether to possibly create sequels to the movies for extra money, the ratings and how many people spent for that movie is the only thing that would legitimately help the directors for his or her film making.
            Influences is an important part of people going out to watch the movie, which is why they release trailers to give certain details on why people should watch the video. But when irritating people who clap in movie theatres, it just makes my enjoyment more mediocre and makes me reconsider going out. It may also affect movies as well because of how people who find others clapping in theatres annoying may prevent not one me but others from going to movies as well. This can also enrage others and maybe possible arguments just by clapping.
            My pet peeve is something that must go global so it may stop for not me but for others who may also have an aggravation to this senseless action. People must realize that they are not the only people in the room and should have some consideration toward others who would like to enjoy the movie without any distractions.  Some people may not take this quick lightly and maybe enraged by theses gestures. Obviously my pet peeve needs to be heard outside of the world to prevent these annoying occurrences.
