Question

Which among these is not a film genre?

• A. Eastern
• B. Action
• C. Western
• D. Drama

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A film genre is a category that describes the main type of content in films, often characterized by similar narrative structures, themes, or visual styles. Common film genres include: 

• Action: Features fast-paced sequences, typically with physical feats or fights.
• Western: Often involves stories about the American Old West, with themes of frontier life and cowboys.
• Drama: Focuses on realistic characters and emotional narratives, emphasizing human experiences.

The term "Eastern" does not specify a recognized film genre. It could be misconceived as a geographical reference, unlike 'Western,' which represents a specific film style. Thus, among the provided options, Eastern is not a film genre.

Answer 2

While Action, Western, and Drama are all established film genres recognized globally, "Eastern" is not a standard film genre classification.

• Action: Films with physical stunts, chases and battles
• Western: Films set in the American Old West (19th century)
• Drama: Serious, plot-driven films focusing on character development

"Eastern" might refer to Eastern cinema (films from Asia) as a regional category, but it's not a genre itself. 
The proper genre term would be more specific (e.g., martial arts films, Bollywood, anime, etc.).
