【Japanese people don’t laugh at movie theaters】
Many Japanese people are very concerned about noise in public transportations and elevators. Especially, the noise manners in movie theaters are particularly severe. At movie theaters in Japan, detailed notes on etiquette are always screened before the main show. “Please refrain from chatting during the screening.”, “Please turn off your mobile phone during the screening.”, “Please refrain from bringing in food and drink from other stores.” Of course, calling or chatting with friends are not allowed during the screening. Also, even if there are scenes that surprise you in a horror movie, you rarely react aloud, and even if there are hilarious scenes in a comedy movie, few people laugh aloud. It’s not a violation of etiquette to make a laugh,so no one will point out, but you can be a little noticeable because the surrounding environment is so quiet.
