Yesterday I went to my grandmother’s house and she was watching an old movie and I joined her to watch it and while I was watching it I noticed that they are way different from ours. I’m not talking about special effects and all that because they have changed a lot; but I’m talking about the behavior that all the characters have, they are so different from the ones in the present.
To start they are so polite, they talk with so much respect to their relatives and the people that is bigger. Their fights are kind of just discussions; the man is kind of gentleman that sees the woman as the perfect figure and tries to inspire love in her by telling poems and all that stuff. In comparison with the present movies that the characters talk to each other as normal, without respect, now it is easier make a woman fall in love.
With all these characteristics I tried make a little bit clearer that when people changes behaviors, movies do the same, to make us feel that they are normal activities. And so other times they change our behaviors, because we take movies as examples for our lives and that’s where my question is: What happened? The movies changed our antecessors? Or their behavior changed movies? Here we can also notice that human behavior changes so quickly that from one decade something can be correct but the next decade can be wrong.

This was a really interesting post to read - and you're right, behaviour has changed fundamentally. Movies and other arts are always a useful tool to reflect our culture and ways of being, and watching an old film sometimes is a great way to note changes that have taken place.
A good choice of post!
