As I was walking out of
12 Years a Slave I noticed a majority of the audience stayed back and watched the credits. Apart from during a Marvel movie I’ve only seen this happen a few times –
Black Swan,
The Social Network and
Fruitvale Station. To me it means that a movie has impacted an audience so emotionally they need a moment to collect themselves, in the case of
Fruitvale or
Black Swan, or a movie is so well made you want to just sit and appreciate every person that contributed to this wonderful experience,
The Social Network for example.
