What was it like to watch an outdoor movie in the countryside in the 1960s and 1970s?

Watching open-air movies in rural areas was a very lively scene in the 1960s and 1970s, because everyone would celebrate such activities as a new year. It was very difficult to watch a movie in rural areas at that time, so no matter how tired they were from work, everyone would be very excited because they were looking forward to watching the movie. Although many people were very hard after finishing their farm work, they still laughed very happily because they were all waiting for the movie to play, and the children at that time also particularly liked to watch movies in such an atmosphere. Waiting for the movie to play

If you are notified on which day you want to watch a movie, I believe the local villagers will eat early, then take their children with small benches at home, and then go to the movie theater on site. Children will place small benches in the first two rows and sit neatly on them to wait. The adults will sit in the back or stand aside, and while waiting, they will talk to each other about things at home. This scene is very warm. Make your own snacks

Of course people at that time would not buy popcorn when watching movies, but they would make their own snacks suitable for watching movies. At that time, we did not make popcorn, but made fried broad beans. I believe everyone has eaten broad beans, and they usually buy broad beans sold in supermarkets and eat them home. At that time, parents would choose to fry the broad beans at home in advance, and then pack them up for their children to take with them to eat, so that the children would look particularly proud when they went to watch a movie.

In fact, children at that time may not be able to understand what is being played in the movie, but they will still watch it very happily because it is a collective atmosphere. Whenever movie day comes, they will arrive at the movie theater early and start waiting early. Although children are usually noisy, at this time they will watch the movie very attentively.
