#Dvdpedia hang during imdb search movie#
And that’s a really rare quality to have in a film…and those movies are usually quite long, because it actually takes that long of a time to get past a movie character where you actually feel that you know the person and you like them…when it’s over, they’re your friends.” “There are certain movies that you hang out with the characters so much that they actually become your friends. Here’s Tarantino’s take on the hangout movie: Not unlike landmasses, unexplored genres are defined by their discoverers. The term “hangout film” was first coined by no less masterful a genre manipulator than Quentin Tarantino, most notably in Larissa MacFarquhar’s vivid New Yorker profile. In that spirit, I’ll endeavor to lay out a set of conventions for one such model: the hangout film. Reevaluating movies of the past according to new and different models is one of the best ways to keep the medium from ossifying. But films are living things, and there are as many ways to draw the lines of categorization as there are films. Even innovative filmmakers like Jean-Luc Godard and David Lynch have self-consciously manipulated the language of genre, treating it like another tool in the director’s toolkit.
Since that time, genres have come in and out favor, but most new films have still defined themselves either in accordance with or opposition to the Classical Hollywood models.
Initially film appropriated genres from literature and theatre, but as the new medium found its footing in Hollywood’s Classical Era of the 40s and 50s, a distinctly cinematic set of generic conventions were codified. Filmmakers have worked within recognizable genres for nearly as long as they’ve told stories.
