Stay tuned: How different generations watch movies

You can endlessly look at three things: fire, water, and the list of movies and TV series on Kinopoisk that you carefully added to your “To Watch” list and either drowned in your daily routine or never got around to watching. It’s time to watch the new ones. And you can give up the situation when you cannot cope with the torment of choice alone, but add another person to this equation, for example, a family member, and say goodbye to the movie in the evening, replacing it with the usual. Conversations in the kitchen. Get a grip, you might like true crime, your significant other might like sports dramas, your parents might like historical movies, and your grandparents might like musicals in general. However, this dark story also has an alternative ending.

Today we invite you to understand how and why streaming services are changing the film industry and people’s attitude towards watching movies and TV series. And in order not to be unfounded, we asked our friends, actor Anton Lavrentyev and singer Asammuell, to share their experience of using the broadcast. But first things first.

If the year of birth in your passport starts with 2, you may not remember the time when people recorded a movie or TV series on separate tapes so as not to miss it. It sounds like something out of science fiction, but the older generation will confirm our words. I had to try not to forget the script while there were long commercial interruptions. There was another option; go to the cinema. But in this case, luck played a big role – whether the tickets will remain and whether the movie you want to see will be shown in theaters. With the advent of streaming services, we no longer need to search for a suitable session or even leave the house; We can watch movies and TV series from any convenient device at home.


What will we watch?

With the emergence of online cinemas and services, we too noticed the increasing popularity of TV series. It’s not like the genre has gone unnoticed, but more and more people are choosing to binge-watch TV series rather than waiting a week for the next episode to air. This is understandable, because the painful wait and love of the directors to end the series in the most interesting way is a real test for movie fans.

Asammuell: “I like to watch everything at once and I don’t like waiting for episodes. So I often look for something in Kinopoisk. The only time I’m willing to be patient and not bring up the next episode is when I’m watching something with friends and family. But only as an exception.”

Anton Lavrentyev: “My wife and I recently watched the new series “Games”. A magnificent picture, Grigory Vernik brilliantly played the main role. Fantastic, tough, cool young actor. “We are very happy.”


Where should we look?

Remember, at the beginning of the material we talked about the different preferences of individual family members, which sometimes makes it difficult to choose a movie for the evening. With the advent of online cinemas in general and subscriptions that can be shared among the whole family, especially when everyone has their own account in Kinopoisk, you no longer need to fight for the remote control. As part of your subscription, you can register up to four accounts per account; where each will have its own stream of recommendations based on non-overlapping interests. So you don’t have to worry about someone watching “House of the Dragon” without you or that you’ll miss the new episode of “Trigger.”


What will the cinema industry say?

The broadcast gave directors, producers and screenwriters a “second creative wind”. Film production companies have the opportunity to create new things and try genres that haven’t worked before on traditional television. The main advantage for the producers was a wide audience. Streaming a movie or series on a platform is not limited by the channel’s specific target audience or the cinemas’ capabilities.

But there was also a place under the sun for “old” movies. Thanks to streaming, viewers can find their favorite childhood movies on one platform, instead of digging out old tapes from the top shelf or searching for questionable copies on the internet.

We have previously mentioned that choosing a movie to watch with your loved ones is an asterisk task. But why is it so difficult? In fact, the problem lies on the surface; different tastes and preferences. Even if you are members of the same family, this does not mean that your mood in the evening will be the same. While some will want to watch a new romantic comedy, some will want to watch a documentary. So how do you bring everyone together on one screen without arguing while scrolling through the recommendations stream?

Anthony Lavrentyev: “My wife and I can only get together in the evenings when everyone else is asleep. But this makes such moments even more valuable and beautiful, because watching an interesting and exciting movie together is of course a great pleasure. And not as actors, but as spectators who were surprised by the well-coordinated and cool work of both the production and the platform.”

: “Movie watching in general is rare now because everyone lives far away from each other, but during the holidays we often watch a movie after the feast to end the evening. The movie “Ice” is perfect for such meetings.

Anthony Lavrentyev: “We are trying to keep what is happening on the agenda. But to be honest, I often pay attention to the ratings of Kinopoisk films and TV series. “Sometimes you don’t want to make a decision, so a convenient stream of recommendations on the service or the selection of platform editors comes to the rescue.”

Anthony Lavrentyev: “I really enjoyed going to the cinema to see the Bremen Town Musicians. By the way, I bought a ticket from Kinopoisk. And it is a very beautiful movie that left a huge mark on me personally. I am grateful to everyone who participated, because the old, but already painfully familiar plot began to shine with new colors.

I agree, it is sometimes difficult for the previous generation to cope with new technologies. And yes, we will not argue, watching TV with your grandparents evokes a pleasant feeling of nostalgia and takes you back to your childhood. But everything is learned by comparison. It is much easier to show them once the “Family Subscription”, which can be issued to your account to four people at the same time, send an invitation link by e-mail or SMS and not only share the advantages of online cinema, but also listen to them. In addition to tracks and podcasts in Yandex Music, you can buy and spend Plus points on Yandex services.

Asammuell: “My family uses Kinopoisk with all its might for viewing, and the TV only acts as a screen to which you can quickly connect using Wi-Fi without a remote control or password. “The rest of the time, we only open the channels on New Year’s Eve.”

Anthony Lavrentyev: “It’s great when a family subscribes. “It seems to me that this is at least a cool family tradition and much more financially profitable.”

The harshest critics who don’t always know what they want but won’t settle for less. The editor of this text proudly bears the title of the child who was born with a phone and gained access to the Internet quite early. This is both good and bad at the same time. On the one hand, it was possible to find everything, but on the other hand, the information we received was not always useful to us. Therefore, all modern parents should be pleased with the opportunity to create a child profile in Kinopoisk with a large content library and the option to set an age limit. And through the Kinopoisk application you can activate the function in which one of the Smeshariki characters will say goodbye to the child and tell him that there will be enough cartoons for today.

Anthony Lavrentyev: “We have started showing Theo cartoons more recently and in very measured doses, because we believe that a child should start watching television at an older age. But his favorites are “Teremok”, “Kolobok” and “Kid and Carlson”. “He was very happy.”

Unfortunately (or fortunately), people are different and everyone has different desires for how to spend an evening or weekend. And when it comes to cinema, the phrase “how many people, so many ideas” is especially important. Yes, it is almost impossible to find a universal solution, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. And “Family Subscription” seems like a good solution. Convenient and individual flow of recommendations for all family members, additional benefits of Plus and the single account for which the subscription fee is charged eliminates headaches for everyone and serves as a tool both to maintain family harmony and to establish correct personal boundaries in the immediate circle.
