What is the difference between a commercial movie, an entertainment movie and an art movie?

Entertainment films can be interpreted as movies with light content and pleasant rhythm, which are for people to talk about after dinner and entertain the public.

Movies are traditionally categorized as commercial films, art films, and documentaries. Commercial films are art films and documentaries, which refer to films that aim at box office revenue and cater to the public's taste and appreciation level. Commercial films are a collection of various commercial elements, such as popular stars, famous directors, complex special effects, large investment, large-scale publicity, and simultaneous release across the country or around the world. Commercial films mainly satisfy the aesthetic tendency of the masses, and their success depends on the box office.

Artistic films are those that are not made for commercial profit, that is to say, they are not "blockbusters", they don't have arrogant movie stunts, they don't have incredible storylines, they don't attract eyeballs, they focus on deeper thinking, or they express their own messages or their own inner feelings.

The documentary is a movie or TV art form that takes real life as the material for creation, takes real people as the object of expression, and processes and shows it artistically to show the real nature and provoke people's thinking with the real. The core of documentary is truth. The real life for the director of the theme of the emotional tendency to pave the way.

Entertainment films, can be seen as comedy. And this is a category division approach to drama. Drama is generally divided into comedy, drama, and tragedy.

Comedy, the public generally interpreted as a comedy or a laugh film, with exaggeration, clever structure, witty lines and the portrayal of comedic character, so as to attract people to laugh at the ugly and funny, and the normal life and the good ideals to be affirmed. The content may be social criticism with satire and political wit or talent, or it may be pure farce or burlesque. The resolution of comedic conflicts is generally brisk and often ends with the protagonist, who represents the forces of progress, triumphing or getting what he or she wants.

Tragedy, which is a work in which the irreconcilable conflict between the main character in the play and reality and its tragic ending constitute the basic content. Most of its protagonists are representatives of people's ideals and aspirations. Tragedy reveals the evils of life with a tragic ending. In Lu Xun's words, tragedy destroys the valuable things in life, thus arousing the audience's grief and respect, and achieving the purpose of improving the ideology and sentiment.

The drama, on the other hand, lies between tragedy and comedy. The external performance characteristics of the drama mainly lies in the fate of the characters and the completeness of the ending of the event. It refers to both the perfect ending, the happy ending, and the affirmative aspect of life or the negative aspect of life. The protagonist also pursues the inevitable requirements of history as the tragic character does, with the difference that such requirements are impossible to realize in tragedy, whereas they have the possibility of being realized in the positive drama. In comedy, the unhistorical imperative is pursued as a realistic purpose, whereas in positive drama, the unhistorical imperative is negated.
