Many intelligent, enthusiastic individuals approach conversations
about films as an extension of the pleasures derived while watching
them. Love for movies and enthusiasm for discussion makes many
people want to attain a better understanding of what they have seen
and to develop a greater skill in talking articulately about their
experiences. This sophisticated midpoint between theorizing and
plot summary is not as difficult to achieve as some might assume,
and "it's so cool" should only be the starting point. Since their
introduction just before the turn of the last century, the vast
majority of narrative films have followed the same structure, a
method that eventually came to be called Classic Hollywood Cinema.
Using that basic narrative form, a range of different types or
genres emerged to explore particular themes and issues from clearly
defined assumptions and perspectives. In each of these categories,
fundamental elements that make up any film adapted to the subject
of the genre and took on increasingly complex significance, while
maintaining the familiar structure that contributes so much to the
understanding of a particular movie and to the expectations that
viewers brought to all. Understanding these structures and elements
enables one to speak with discernment about any number of movies,
whether one has seen them or not.
