WHAT DOES BUDDY FILM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

buddy film

Buddy film

The buddy film is a film genre in which two people of the same sex are put together. The two often contrast in personality, which creates a different dynamic onscreen than a pairing of two people of the opposite sex. The contrast is sometimes accentuated by an ethnic difference between the two. The buddy film is commonplace in American cinema; unlike some other film genres, it endured through the 20th century with different pairings and different themes.
