The increased volume of storage, easy access to movies and the huge current production coupled with more than 100 years of film history and forces us to consider, if we order our small video The issue of classification method. Those who have reflected before this issue can help:
Aritóteles thought that the stories of Greek theater imitating (mimesis) reality. distinguished Tragedy and Comedy as two different connection modes of imitation:
-the ethos or origin of the protagonists (nobles versus commoners)
-the Logos or ways of expressing themselves (verse against prose)
-to Pathos or audience reaction (tears or laughter).
As we see the re-production of reality sins of excess tragedy. where the conflict is determined by metaphysical forces, moral or social, against which the hero rebels. His sacrifice to combat unjust move us (pathos), and redeems us and release (catharsis). In comedy instead lightness reigns. Are obviated some aspects of reality. And the protagonists are often vicious individuals are ultimately punished (catharsis). Emotion (pathos) of the joke is not what happens to those unfortunates, who has no grace, but his ignorance of the facts: women with two-way language makes us laugh to all but the husband continues to ignore the lover hides behind the curtain.

must say that this view of art as re-production has endured and has become popular away from the formal and abstract view of some contemporary artists. A visual and ironic example of this can serve you:
Gérard Genette say it is the criterion of distance that separates the two major genres of Greek theater. Distance from "real" experienced by the characters. Today
continued use of this criterion of the distance between the point of view of director film about the "reality" that is transmitted to us to define the major categories of genres:
The documentary, which seeks in principle to manipulate reality, but to capture it without judging, defines the point zero at this axis distances.
The drama magnifies it all: the adventures of his characters and the importance of their actions. The characters are decent and serious intrigue, circumspect. The heroes and not victims of a divine destiny, as in Greek tragedy, but victims of acts whose responsablles are human beings. In the center of the distances the epic drama imposes his grand vision to the world and inevitably distorted. Groups tragedies and adventures of men with exceptional destinations. The lyrical drama gives disproportionate attention to individual emotions. Since the vast majority of films that make up loving pose a problem, we call sentimental dramas, but this is a concession to the thematic approach. Finally, the social drama sometimes touching reached the limits of the documentary.
