The thing with standing ovations is that you don't know what it's for anymore. Theoretically, after a breathtaking performance, the audience feels a sense of rapture, so they stand up with joy and break out in thunderous applause. Nowadays, I guess half of the audience stand up and clap to show that they understood or appreciated the show, and the other half complete the standing ovation because the others are blocking their view, and they wanna see what's going on.
