2. Genre
Genre boundaries can be flexible, and you can get genre hybrids. An
example is the Terminator 2, I know it is a science fiction because the
terminator is indestructible, also you can see when he scans things. He also
teleports into the beginning. The action is when he beats up the people that
tart on him.
Genre is a system of signs/symbols/ themes by which a particular genre can
be recognised, for example- the Western= cowboys, hats, guns, horses,
mountains, or desert, Indian, cowboys, gunfighter, ‘taming the west.’
Genre=a contract between the audience and film makers. Audiences build
up ‘generic memories’ and can anticipate things happening, so the director
can play on this.

3. western

based around stories or life
in the late 19th century
when it was the American

movies are set in the time
of the American civil war,
which was 1865, and the
