I do not go to movies frequently, but I read the trilogy to each of my neices and nephews when they were children. So this afternoon we, all adults now, went to see The Fellowship of the Rings together. It was wonderful. The audience clapped at the end... Is this usual?

I did not clap at the end of the movie, but it wasn't because I didn't like the film. I LOVED it. However TFOTR is really a tragedy and the ending is so sad and moving that it doesn't feel appropriate to applaud.
