Music: now and then

GBM-MDecember 2012

Introduction• Opinions about what good music and

cinematography is have changed with time.• In general people nowadays don’t really listen to

music our parents listened to nor watch movies our parents loved to watch.

• Although we, young generation, often re-watch good old films we used to watch with our parents long time ago. Also, some songs we listen to sometimes catch our parents’ attention.

Reasons of these changes:

1. Active development of audio and video equipment, new technologies and inventions.

2. Dissemination of cultural features from society to society.

3. People's desire to develop life aspects by changing adopted standards in music and film industry.

social activist.

Yves Montand• French actor and singer.

Boney M• German vocal group.

artist, entertainer, and businessman.

Reasons why we love the music:

• It’s fun to dance to. Most songs we listen to have powerful beats and make us want to let go of everything and just feel the rhythm.

• We are devoted to our idols and superstars. We love everything they do and listen to the songs they make with great pleasure.
