Genre Theory


We are given two statements to choose from, one for the use of genre the other against the use of genre. I have to pick a side.  This is all under the idea of a world without genre. 

I believe that not having the use of genre stereotyping, would make life very hard. I believe that no matter what you will have a boundary of something and a genre can never be a boundary because you can cross the boundaries into more than one genre. For example Rom-Com is a cross genre and you can cross into as many genres as possible you can create a film thats fits some needs to every genre if you are creative enough. 

To have a world without genre would make life very difficult and eventually a genre based world would begin. Stereotyping may not be of the film but of the actors or the director. You may or may not choose to see a film by tim burton because you don't like the animation, there for missing out on Edward scissor  hands because you assume the same thing from the creator. 

So i believe that genre isn't a boundary. and that its actually very useful and in the end its inevitable.
