In Chris Heller's "After Aurora, I'm Not Ready To Go See The Dark Knight Rises Yet," he reveals people's opinion about going to watch "The Dark Knight Rises" in the theater after the Aurora case. He starts out by showing how watching movies is "an act of escape" from reality. Heller talks about people who watch movies and forget that they are in the theater. It's a place to feel safe and where people entertain themselves by stories that have nothing to do with their own life. He later reveals Alyssa Rosenberg's opinion toward the horrifying case. She clearly expressed her disappointment towards the massacre that happened. She says, "We are vulnerable when we go to the movies, open to fear, and love, and disgust, and rapture, surrendering our brains and hearts to someone else's vision of the world." Rosenberg reveals that people don't notice the danger they are facing when they are focused on the movies. Heller ends the article by revealing his sadness toward the tragedy that occurred.
The author's purposes in writing this article are both to warn people about their vulnerability and also to reveal his disappointment. He wants to honor the people who lost their life while they were entertained by the movie they loved. This article may be directed to any kind of audience. Heller just wants to tell the world about his sadness. He wishes people may once again be able to watch movies with no worries and just have fun. Heller wants to watch movies without the need to remember the death of the people in this tragedy.
