Observation 14

Seeing a movie in cinema europa always ages me, I feel like I need to bring in a glass of wine or champagne into the cinema with me, and it seems like the couple next to us were thinking the same thing. After about the fifth trip back into the cinema, each trip returning with a glass of wine and an opened bottle of beer, I noticed that they were both quite drunk. They were talking for most of the movie, but with each glass and bottle they started to get louder. A woman in the row ahead started to get really agitated, which was quite evident when she would turn around and aggressively yell “SHH” with her finger in front of her mouth… like the already loud shh wasn’t enough to get the point across. The male of the couple wasn’t having any of it though, as he returned this with a “pipe down love”.

The filmĀ I would like to see produced out of this, would be to capture small scenes of conflict between strangers. I feel like everyone has their own story of when they were yelled at by a stranger, or when they told a driver to piss off when they were cut off. I think a series of short scenes of these sorts of ideas would work as quite a non-serious piece, and just something that can show how sometimes people just need to chill the fuck out.
