Modern movies contain more violence and explicit content than older Soviet films from the 1950s-1970s that were popular among previous generations. Some popular older Soviet films discussed include Ballad of a Soldier (1959), Gentlemen of Fortune (1972), and The Diamond Arm (1968), which were comedies and dramas about love and everyday life. Modern blockbuster films mentioned that are popular now include Transformers (2007), Avatar (2009), Finding Nemo (2003), and The Twilight Saga series (2008-2012). While films now have more advanced technology, some say the humor and stories are not as sophisticated as older films. Preferences in movies depend on the times and beliefs of different generations.
