I believe that you should be able to look at your phone during a movie. But there’s some things to it you have to be sitting in the back and you would have to turn your phone brightness on your screen all the way down. Also you would have to turn your phone on silent. Where that girl went wrong was she was sitting in front of you guys with her phone up in the air and her brightness high. They also have a message at the beginning of every movie that says you need to put your phones on silent and not bright, but never does it say you cannot use your phone. I believe these days kids and way more people are addicted to using their phones or some type of device. A verse that brooks said that came out to me was when he said “phone addiction is making it harder to be the sort of person who is good at deep friendship”. It came out to me because its true. The more you are addicted to your phone is the more time that you don’t go out and enjoy what is actually really important. You will meet less people and you will be less social and wont talk to that many people, you will be worried about what is on your twitter, Instagram, face book. Also I believe that the girl that was on Instagram looking at her boyfriend could of avoided it so many ways by sitting in the back row or she could of moved away where less people were sitting so it did not bother anyone else. But I also agree with you guys choice by telling her to put the phone away or you were going to get the manager because she thought twice about that and just left. The other people that was around thanked you guys for saying something to her because they probably didn’t have the nerves to say anything. I’m kind of on both sides but it just depends where you are sitting in the movie theatre and if there is people beside or around you guys. I think it is funny that she paid to watch that movie and she didn’t even watch it because she was to busy on her phone and not even paying attention. She defiantly wasted her money on that movie.
