Abstract
In film criticism genre refers to a narrative form common across film producing cultures, but underpinning that form is a script, a kernel framework that is the basis of a narrative, consisting of a reiterated narrative pattern and several recurring images. This kernel script is further shaped by local scripts, just as elaboration of a script as a genre incorporates local components. Scripts may be specific to a culture and thus where a genre may function as a site for dialogue between Eastern and Western cultures its foundation scripts may impart distinctive and different nuances. The relationship between scripts and genres in Korean and Western film industries is here explored through examples of the comedy of remarriage and home invasion.
