Why did they plan to see a midnight show?

M: It’s Chinese New Year’s Eve tonight. Let’s go and watch a movie, shall we?
W: It will be very late by the time we finish our dinner.
M: Let’s see a midnight show then.
W: Good idea!
M: What kind of movie are you fond of?
W: Well, I feel like watching something romantic this evening. Do you still remember the movie we watched this Christmas Eve? Until now I am not fully aware why we chose that one. Today, I’m in the mood for something more gentle for a happy new year. What about you?
M: I agree that last few movies have been a bit too violent—especially the movie for our Christmas, but romantic movies might be the last thing I want to watch. A bit of action will be very exciting. How about watching Titanic? It’s a love story, but there is plenty of action as well.
W: It’s indeed a romance. However, I’ve seen it many times. So I don’t think I’d enjoy watching it once more. What else is there to watch?
M: There’s The Lord of the Rings. It owns a lot of awards and I’ve been wanting to see it for ages.
W: Yes, many people gave it the thumbs up after they walked out of the cinema. However, It’s somewhat violent as well, isn’t it? So, why not watch it next weekend instead of tonight?
M: Oh, it seems that we can only have the romantic comedy left. I enjoy comedies and you want something romantic. What about this kind?
W: Perfect! That is ideal for the Spring Festival.
