The Rise and Fall of Genres in Cinema
The decline of the Western genre in Hollywood, exemplified by the film 'Heaven's Gate,' led to a shift in filmmaking dynamics. The costly failure of 'Heaven's Gate' not only impacted its studio but also influenced the industry's perception of independent filmmakers. This shift brought more oversight and control, favoring directors like Spielberg and Lucas who adhered to budgets and avoided chaotic productions. While occasional Western successes like 'Unforgiven' and 'Django Unchained' occurred, the genre's relevance dwindled, similar to the potential fate of superhero films due to oversaturation.
