Music is universal and there should be no difference as long as it appeals to our mind. Classical music is to be appreciated in a different way. One should learn to appreciate it. Then only one can enjoy it where as film music can be enjoyed by one and all. That is the difference. What do you feel on this matter?

I find that sometimes they will play classical at the films and also that much of the film music is written in the same way as is classical. So I find that if one can live over 200 years much of the music played in films will be considered the classical music of the future. However I find that some music is supposed to engage sympathy of a certain type of people and is not like it was years ago, when if you were entering a Native American village, the music sounded like tom toms and if you were entering a western town, they played country music. I also suppose if you were going through Germany, they would play Bach, or something like that. Now they just play music so you will feel sorry or sympathize with a certain group and not to show you, 'are we going into Greece right now and there is going to be a wedding."

I like film music more because when I listening film music it can remind me the scenario of the film. That's nice.

I enjoy both classical and film music. I'm not sure one has to "learn" to appreciate classical music, especially if you hear it often. I played it when my kids were young and they both grew up enjoying it without having to make an effort. I think it's more a matter of what you're used to, or what you heard growing up that makes the difference.

I love both. I love classical music, but I also love film music. I love music in general. I cannot live my life without music.

I think the said matter is pretty much complete and suitable to every music lover. When there is a matter of classical music its more a kind of experiment and examination on singer's mind, but when it comes to film music its an overall impression of what a normal mind can think about a situation.
