“Oh, these young people ” – you’ve probably heard these words or even said them yourself. It seems that this is only possible in our country or in our closest neighbors. However, Hollywood is also not averse to speaking out about other generations. So, for example, Jodie Foster, speaking about the generation of twenty-year-olds, admitted that they irritate her. What exactly the star of the film “The Silence of the Lambs” doesn’t like and how Internet users reacted to it, you will find out with us in the next couple of minutes.
Jodie Foster on the 20-something generation
Perhaps there have always been misunderstandings between generations. After all, not everyone is ready to accept innovations in technology, modern outlooks on life, or even attitudes towards work. If we talk about those who were born at the time of change, then all they can do is learn something from scratch from childhood or adolescence. A good example of this is a computer and even a smartphone.
“ They are terribly annoying. Especially in terms of work. They’re like, “No, I’m not in the right mood today. I’ll be there at 10:30.” Or, for example, you point out to them the numerous grammatical errors in their emails. And they answer you: “Why should I do this? Doesn’t this limit me?” the actress shared in a conversation with reporters, speaking about youth .
Criticism of generations
And although Jodie Foster does not intend to put up with this, she still has to work with twenty-year-olds . “I often communicate with young actresses. I’m forced to do this.” Nevertheless, even the leading lady in The Silence of the Lambs can be pleased. One of these lucky ones was the rising star of “Game of Thrones” and “The Last of Us” Bella Ramsay.
Interestingly, Jodie’s words were received ambiguously on the Internet. So, some believe that the 61-year-old actress should look more adequately at today’s world and those who will replace her. Others note that they experience similar emotions. Still others do not understand the division of people into generations at all. After all, according to the latter, each of them has different values at different times. And comparing them is stupid, to say the least.
“ Older generations often tend to criticize young people. However, they do not take responsibility for their role in creating modern society. After all, they were the ones who raised Generation Z. And now they don’t like it,” “Generation Z simply has a more progressive view of work, for which they are not going to sacrifice themselves. Boomers refuse to accept a different point of view.”
What do you think about this? Do you agree with Foster or are you ready to share a different opinion? Be sure to write about it in the comments.
