点评:I took my two grandchildren to watch the 5:10 screening of Toy Story yesterday.
We're all used to young children chatting, getting restless, or becoming a little agitated during a family film. That's part and parcel of going to a cinema showing aimed at children, and most people accept that.
Unfortunately, yesterday's experience went far beyond that.
A family of six sat directly in front of us, and the children cried, shouted, and talked loudly throughout virtually the entire film. There was no respite at any point during the screening, making it extremely difficult to follow or enjoy the movie.
I genuinely felt sorry for the children, as they were clearly tired, hungry, or simply not in the right frame of mind to sit through a full-length film. The disappointing part was that the parents appeared completely unconcerned and continued watching the movie without making any effort to take the children outside for a break or show consideration for the rest of the audience.
Family screenings should be welcoming and understanding of young children, but there is a difference between the occasional disturbance and a constant disruption from beginning to end.
Sadly, what should have been a special afternoon with my grandchildren ended up being remembered for all the wrong reasons.

我们都习惯了小孩子在家庭电影放映期间聊天、躁动不安,或者有点儿烦躁。这在儿童电影放映中是常态,大多数人都能接受。
不幸的是,昨天的经历远超预期。
我们前面坐着一家六口,孩子们几乎从头到尾都在哭闹、喊叫、大声说话。放映过程中没有丝毫停歇,让我们很难集中注意力,也难以享受电影。
我真心为孩子们感到难过,他们显然是累了、饿了,或者根本没心情看完一部完整的电影。更令人失望的是,孩子的父母似乎完全不在意,继续看电影,既没有想办法带孩子们出去休息一下,也没有顾及其他观众的感受。
家庭放映活动应该欢迎并体谅年幼的孩子,但偶尔的打扰和从头到尾的持续干扰是截然不同的。
令人遗憾的是,原本应该和孙辈们度过一个美好的下午,最终却因为一些糟糕的原因而被人们铭记。
