Movies for children? 映画は子供のもの

I was surprised when I went to the movies in Germany at the first time, the price is far much less than in Japan. Six Euro everywhere. (in Japan 1800 yen for adult person) Addition to it there are many young children. It is certain that the children can also afford the ticket. Last week I saw the "Matrix Reloaded" on Saturday afternoon, there were merely about four school kids there. In the week before last week I watched "X-Men2" I saw only a family. When I suppose the situation in Japan, I still feel something wrong.

昨年、初めてドイツで映画館に入ったときにも驚きましたが、いまだにしっくりこないのが映画館の値段。どこでも6 ユーロです。それに子供が多いのにも目がつきます。確かにこの値段なら子供のお小遣いで問題ないはずだと思います。先週 Matrix Reloadedを見ましたが、土曜日の夕方にもかかわらず映画館には4人ほどの小学生くらいと思われる子供が居るだけです。その前の週にX-Men2を見たときにも、家族連れが一組くらい居ましたがほぼ同じような感じでした。未だに違和感を感じられずにはいられません。
