Film Genre and the Genre Film

Schatz's article  described the difference between film genre and genre film. To me his argument was a bit unclear and the difference doesn't seem to be too different to me based on his writings. I did like how he compared the genre system to a game with rules. Unknowingly when I am choosing a movie to watch and am searching by genre those films follow certain rules like a game. My most watched genre is definitely rom com and I expect it to follow the "rules" or making me laugh, and having an interesting love story. His description of character and setting was much easier to follow for me. I was interested in how he talked about social order and social roles to explain genre. The idea of the "urban crime" that he presented opened my eyes to gangster and detective genre films are produced and how similar their elements can be.
