MEMORABLE MOVIEGOING MOMENTS<br />
rium. We laughed and cried together, we shared an experience<br />
with this film as a group of strangers, and we all walked out better<br />
people. The film highlights how Mr. Rogers was a kind man<br />
who changed the lives of people he touched. The film reminds<br />
us that we are all human; we have pain but we can also choose to<br />
be kind no matter what is going on in our lives.<br />

Unequivocally, the most breathtaking movie moment I<br />
experienced in 2019 was the opening scene the first night of<br />
Avengers: Endgame at my own local Flagship Cinemas. It was<br />
a packed audience of diehard Marvel fans, and the moment<br />
the dust first scattered on the screen, the gasps could be heard<br />
skittering throughout the crowd. The tension and energy<br />
bound us all together in the moment, and it was the beginning<br />
of a shared experience that was absolutely amazing. It’s<br />
a rare feeling to have created such solidarity in a community<br />
of strangers, but that’s the strength and power of a great film<br />
played in a movie theater. Nothing like it.<br />

Disney’s Aladdin and Lion<br />
King provided wonderful<br />
opportunities this year for<br />
parents to bring their families<br />
to movies they experienced on<br />
the big screen when they were<br />
young. Watching parents in<br />
2019 was an incredible year for<br />
fantastic films. The biggest standout<br />
moment for me was the release of<br />
Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time<br />
in Hollywood. To be able to provide<br />
marketing support for one of my<br />
favorite directors on their movie that<br />
plays on a classic, horrifying event we all<br />
know with an unexpected plot twist was<br />
an amazing experience. Getting to see it<br />
on the big screen was nothing short of<br />
incredible!<br />

My favorite moviegoing moment of<br />
2019 was watching the last 20 minutes<br />
of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.<br />
Since the beginning of the film, I was<br />
expecting to see Tarantino’s interpretation<br />
of the Sharon Tate assassination.<br />
Therefore, suspense kept on building<br />
for me for over two hours, and I could<br />
see the same feeling with all the other<br />
patrons in the theater when I looked<br />
around. The end of the movie was<br />
superb, but at the same time, it didn’t<br />
deliver on my original expectation. I<br />
was really troubled. Although I truly<br />
loved the story, it wasn’t what I had<br />
