OLD COSTA RICAN CINEMA CLOSED ITS DOORS
It was with nostalgia that many heard about the closing down of the Cinema Magaly in Barrio La California in San Jose. It will close its doors forever, after 33 years providing entertainment; it had become an emblem of the city, and now many realize that San Jose is maybe loosing more than it can afford to.
Farewell to big cinemas, they are disappearing all over the world. The Magaly has been overtaken and pushed away by the big chains of theatres in malls, multiplex cinemas resembling tins of sardines, that are usually too full by the time you get in, forcing you to sit in the front row, where you literally can touch the screen and where you see nothing for being too close. It is honestly better to give it a miss! The Magaly on the other was big; 550 seats, the way they made them in the olden days.
Magaly first opened its door in 1978; it showed Moment of Decision, by Herbert Ross. Now it is closing down for lack of popularity, as there has been a distinctive decline of the public, yet, says CCM, owners of the Multiplex, it is clear that Magaly has been on the decline and has stopped showing good movies for quite a while now. There was also the lack of nearby parking, people had to either leave the car outside. All in all, the Magaly has dragged along wearing an abandoned facade for a long time.
The closing down has been arranged for June, in the meantime, there will be showings of the most memorable movies that appeared at the cinema. The titles are yet to be announced. This is a symbolic farewell for those who feel sentimentally attached to the old theater. It belonged to an era of cinemas, together with the Variedades and Sala Garbo, that attracted a selected public.
When it first opened, it was the first one to operate a large room, a pioneer in its genre. The large room attracted large crowds. Today, its size is greatly responsible for its closing down; too many empty seats.
Magaly first opened its door in 1978; it showed Moment of Decision, by Herbert Ross. It was the first cinema to have reclining seats in Costa Rica. In 1994, the Digital Theatre System was introduced (DTS), the first in Latin America. In 1997, it was first again in offering hearing aids for the hard of hearing, and in addition, it also made the appropriate arrangements to welcome the disabled and oldest.
What will happen to the actual building? The owners are not sure. It is the end of an era. Lets just hope that they don’t turn it into a shopping mall!
