核心畫面
Picture the shelves in a video shop or the tabs on a streaming app: horror here, romance there, documentaries at the end. Nothing about the shelf says how good a film is — it says what to expect once it starts: the kind of story, the mood, the moves it will make. That shelf can be held as the picture inside 'genre'.

可以想成影音店的分區，或串流 App 上的那排標籤：恐怖在這邊、愛情在那邊、紀錄片放最後。架子本身不評斷好不好看，它說的是「開始播之後你會遇到什麼」——故事的種類、氣氛、大概會怎麼走。這個架子可以拿來當作 genre 的畫面。它也解釋了這個字裡藏著的一個安靜的約定：你選了恐怖片那一區，就等於同意被嚇；片子違背這個約定時，就算拍得好，看起來也怪怪的。原始詞典資料2 筆記錄
