The movie room is more like a microcosm of the comprehensive entertainment functionality of the bathhouse, which is not a specialty of the bathhouse but exists abundantly in people's common memories.

The darkened movie room like other movie theaters generally follows the style of small movie theaters. Prototype: MATRIX
