Pengyou Posted November 12, 2007 at 02:50 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 at 02:50 PM I am trying to find a rather comprehensive source of words to describe movies, books and tv shows - words like romance, horror, adventure, sci fi, etc. I have googled and found some sits but they were lacking considerably. There also was some contradiction in the words they used, so I just tossed the sites and moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in_lab Posted November 13, 2007 at 03:32 AM Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 at 03:32 AM I wouldn't throw out those sources just because of a few contradictions. Those contradictions may reflect actual usage. For example, fantasy books are often listed as science fiction in English. Of course it's better to use the word "fantasy", but it's useful to know that fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted November 13, 2007 at 03:42 AM Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 at 03:42 AM You might find browsing Douban helpful. The tags are all user generated so they can be a bit messy. Example: 另类, 前卫. Incidentally, the Last Temptation of Christ is listed on Verycd under disaster movies. Which in a way, I suppose, it was.
