Just saw 2001: A Space Oddesy with the SF symphony last night. It was the second time seeing a movie with the symphony accompaniment, the first being Home Alone.
So far it has been the best experiences with viewing a film. The entire audience is respectful and quiet, the atmosphere is great, and the music is beyond amazing.
I was blown away during act 4, Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite.
Has anyone else here gone to anything like this around them and what are your experiences with it?
Before I respond, I respectfully request that you post proof of your claim.

>OP gets called autistic for doing something cultured And this board thinks its better than reddit. Kek
Evan Lopez
that sounds fucking great. for 2001 especially, would definitely go to something like this. will probably never get the chance to though.
Andrew Young
Sounds extremely fun, I love symphonies
Juan Jenkins
Should have went when they were playing something more kino but I guess orchestras have to appeal to the masses nowadays to stay afloat.
Henry Nguyen
Yeah, the Orchestra where I live has done Back To The Future before and I think they're doing Raiders Of The Lost Ark this year.
Matthew Scott
Yes it is. It was sold out as well. They're doing Raiders of the Lost Ark in April. Probably going to buy tickets to that too.
Alexander Flores
I was at that performance, it was a damn triumph. I think 2001 worked especially well because it's almost a cinematic symphony by itself. I was dead center on LSD, I wasn't the only one either and the symphony hall was just as impressive as the film and the music.
Caleb Hall
Can I go with you to Raiders? Would that be weird?
Dominic Peterson
Im jelly. I think next time I'm going to just bite the bullet and purchase Orchestra seating. Not too bad, starting at like $215
Adam Sullivan
Any chance we could all go together?
Colton Howard
This sounds cool as fuck.
James Lewis
>the first being home alone
Wyatt James
trying to avoid no single policy eh?
Ryan Martinez
>implying this is not a textbook reddit tier thing to want to do
maybe you should go back
Ryan Howard
I used to be forced to go to these twice a year for school and fell asleep through each of them. Shame I'm not forced to go now that I appreciate and enjoy the music.

45 dollars to see an old, mediocre movie with some live music accompaniment. wow. people really will pay for the dumbest shit. download the movie for free on your comoputer, then download some beethoven or mozart and play it in the background or something as you watch it. there i just saved you 45 dollars
Brayden Barnes
I'll go to raiders, make some threads when it's coming up and we can coordinate to smuggle crab legs in our tuxedo pockets
Easton Richardson
1.How is it autistic ? 2.Who are you quoting ? 3.Why are you such a fucking faggot ?
Blake Ramirez
want to get together and do this?
Levi Harris
But seriously a symphony hall is the absolute gold standard for cinema viewing if you're willing to spend the money. Best acoustics, most respectful audience, powerful score. Highly recommended for anyone who has related to a "Theater experiences ITT" thread.
Ian Stewart
What are the consequences if you aren't respectful? I'm kind of interested in paying for a ticket and then talking loudly during the show
Ayden Wood
Are you retarded? Capeshit is reddit, son, this is literally the opposite. This is patrician as fuck
Benjamin Cooper
So how does this work, is the movie muted and its just the live music?
Austin Evans
this is pseudointellectual reddit shit
Lincoln Brooks
Just live music/choir.
Easton Moore
No it's pretty purely intellectual, Kubrick worked with Carl Sagan on producing it.
Kayden Turner
What's pseudointellectual about seeing a movie you like with a live fucking orchestra? If you can't see the honest appeal of that, you've got your pleb glands out in public.
Ryder Adams
Interesting. I guess this wouldnt be an ideal method of watching a movie for the first time.
Lincoln Collins
holy shit you are retarded
Caleb Smith
Not the same guy but it seemed like a reasonable question to me
Nolan Moore
Only the score is muted, all dialogue and sound effects are live. Its pretty much the same as seeing the movie just with more visceral live music. It would totally work for a first viewing.
Caleb Allen
What other films would work well in this context? Something where the music plays big role, I say Amadeus.
Joshua Rogers
Thats sounds even better.
Zachary Russell
>Carl Sagan
Like he said, Reddit as fuck.
Brayden Taylor
I don't know, I go to these things with my wife so that may be weird.
Christopher Gonzalez
it adds nothing to the movie
a live orchestra is just there to make you feel like a classy gentleman with great taste
