My ethnography for my viewing of Beach Rats by Eliza Hitman occurred a few weeks prior to the assignment. My friend and I bought our tickets ahead of time because we were going on the last day of screening and thought buying at the door would be too risky. The film was screened at the Landmark Sunshine Cinemas at 8 PM. We arrived a few minutes early and decided to buy nachos. The employee decided to give us an extra cup of nacho cheese free of charge. The theater was average in size. The bathrooms had portraits of famous characters in film history. For the women’s bathroom, an illustration of Uma Thurman’s character in Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, Mia Wallace. The men’s bathroom feature a picture of Robert DiNero’s character in Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, Travis Bickle. It was a rainy day, so there were a few abandoned umbrellas scattering the seats of the theater where the movie was being screened. Although we both expected a bigger turnout due to it being the last day of screening, only a hand full of people occupied the seats. My friend and I sat in the 5th row down, the seats where screen was in perfect eyesight and looking up or down wasn’t necessary. A group of three teenagers sat two rows in front of us, and a couple in what appears to be their mid-twenties sat in the far left corner. As the film played, the theater was mostly quiet, aside from the rhythmic crunch of the nachos we bought being turned to mush in our mouths, whispers from me and my friend to each other about what we think is going to happen and why Hitman decided to include certain things in her narrative, and the occasional gasp from one of the teens whenever a penis appeared on the screen. When the credits rolled, everyone except for the couple had gotten out of their seats and left the theater.
