Why do Americans clap at the end of a film?
Do they believe the actors and director can hear them?
Is it just a cultural thing?

This is seriously fucking sad. I thought it was a meme
I live in the UK and some friends brought me to see hunger games, and the whole cinema clapped whenKatniss killed the rebel leader woman.
It was fucking embarassing

I've also witnessed this phenomenon in the UK. In a packed cinema for Transformers - fucking - 2, no less. I was disgusted.
Just to be clear, it wasn't my choice to see that piece of shit.
Idk. As an American I wonder the same thing... But I can't resist the urge to clap

Fuck off Krager you fudge packer
I think it's just an expression of appreciation/reaction; it's no different tham screaming out "yeah!" or egging on your team when you're watching a close game at home.

We've been doing it so long that at this point we're too afraid to ask why.
Also why do foreigner care so much about what we do or don't do? Is it an inferiority complex?
can't wait for the audience cheering and clapping when the star wars score starts.

No it's because you're really fucking weird. Seriously, as a British person I find Americans weirder than Asians or Africans. It's like some uncanny valley shit. You're almost like civilised Anglos, but not quite
> watching a film in Europe
> amazing ending, great movie
> "The End" appears onscreen and credits begin to roll.
> total silence from the audience, awkward glances all around, with looks of "do we leave now?"
> not one mention of its quality or how they enjoyed it, because expressing emotion is frowned upon.
> everybody silently shuffles out in obedient order.
you commies are certainly well trained.
