What is The Fallacy of Genre Purity in Hollywood about?
This document discusses two theses in recent film scholarship. The first is that films produced in the last 40 years exhibit genre mixing. The second is that genre studies has been limited by a failure to define what genres are. The author argues that Hollywood films have never truly fit into pure genres, and that attempts to categorize films into genres have always been subjective. By claiming newer films hybridize genres, critics misunderstand that older Hollywood films were never purely one genre either.
