Gangster movies
In all gangster movies we see a common list of stereotyped characters.
An example of a great film that uses all the different types of characters is the godfather.
The don (including his family)
Concierge
Henchmen
The snitch
Other families ( Don)
The common thing that runs through all these characters is that they are all linked through violence, drugs and the most important thing money!
In most all gangster films the common codes and conventions in all characters we see that they are all males.
Females are portrayed as being the “femme fetals” and are always shown as being sex symbols however men are always shown to be dominant by the way they dress and there dialogues

Romance movies
In all romance movies we see a love story between 2 characters; male and female
Male – portrayed as being dominant but also shows that his weakness is the girl he loves
Female – portrayed as also being as dominant as the male yet still struggles between her social life, work and love life
