ThenIn Soviet times movies were more patriotic, compared to nowadays. Basically, in films was the hidden meaning – subtext, because some

things were banned, was censorship. In movies wasn`t so

many violence and cruelty as now.

Films were about love, friendship, everyday life, so in this case, films, which our parents and grandparents

have watched, did not different from nowadays.

Now it is time to say a few words about modern cinema art, what kind of movies can we see today

in cinemas…

NowNowadays movies contain more violence. In some films we can see the advertisement.

Unreservedly shows for us the essence, cruelty and truth of life. Today we have a

real high technical support, because of that, computer graphics is almost indispensable

thing in all films. Jokes in comedies are vulgar, cheeky.

ConclusionOur preferences in movies totally depends on our lives and on our life beliefs. We and our parents

and grandparents were raised in different conditions, was another

world and another life.

Some people say, “Now directors do not know how to shoot a comedy. Jokes are dirty and superficial. Actions are stupid and cruel, not like before.”

Well, every person is able to have own opinion…
