Are foreign films popular in your country?
Yes, foreign films are extremely popular in my country mainly because of the growth of streaming platforms like Amazon and Netflix, which show films from abroad. I think that fewer people go to the flicks these days, which has also meant that they watch more foreign films. People enjoy them so much because they like to see stars that they recognise or watch films from well-renowned directors, whose films they have seen before. I personally enjoy watching them as long as they have subtitles. I feel it is difficult to understand the plot when they are dubbed into a different language because you can’t hear the original voice of the actors.
Do you think older and younger generations prefer different kinds of music
Yes, I think that in general, people tend to prefer the genre they listened to when they were in their late teens or early twenties. For example, my parents listen to a lot of folk from the 60s like Janis Joplin or Bob Dylan, or they listen to rock acts such as Led Zeppelin or Jimi Hendrix. I think that the days of the traditional rock band are over. The people I know from my generation prefer to listen to more modern genres like rap because they enjoy the poetic qualities of the lyrics and how they rhyme. Electronic is also popular with youngsters because that is what they hear and dance to in nightclubs. The advancement of technology has also meant that this type of music can be made easily on a computer in someone’s bedroom.
