hi, fellow mate. i would like to tell you that we are in a cinema together and you keep checking your brightly lit phone, which is distracting me a little throughout the movie. since you know that the entire hall is dim for the movie, having your screen brightly lit creates a huge distraction. it would be great if you could reduce the brightness of your phone and use it during intervals to reduce the destruction and have a great shared experience.

i would humbly ask that person to kindly lower the brightness or kindly turn the phone down for a moment when they all are watching movies because in the initial stage of movie we get the instruction that we need to keep our phone aside so that everybody can enjoy the movie. i would first request him if he is not comfortable with that i would ask the staff so that they can guide him and follow the proper instructions, thank you.
