Item: Nomadland
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The genre category for 'Nomadland' should include 'Western'. The film is by all accounts a contemporary Western, as it fulfills the AFI's definition of a Western - being set in the American West and embodying the spirit of the frontier life. This frontier life can be seen through the new wave of van-dwelling nomads, who a character in the film even refers to as being similar to the pioneers. Multiple film publications have referred to the film as a contemporary Western, and it is recognized as such on Wikipedia.

Okay, you've convinced me. I just added "Western" again.

OK, so I changed this before seeing this report, but I still think Western is incorrect as a main genre. One could possibly see it as a subgenre since the movie is taking place "in the Western part of the United States". But it's not mentioned as a Western on Wikipedia and if you compare it to a regular Western, I'd say it has very little in common with previous movies.
But how is the Western genre really defined? Here's one definition (found via Google):
And another one:
Even the AFI is referring to the past (when it mentions the "new frontier"):
If I could specify the exact subgenre of Nomadland I would use 'social drama', or perhaps even see it as a bit of an Adventure movie (she has a choice of a safe life, but goes on an adventure instead). And that is why I removed the Western genre today.

In any case, it is a beautiful film, poignant and representative of the American dream of today, whatever the different translations of the different dictionaries. Like what a single word can lead to long sentences! 🤠 Good continuation to you .. You do not have an easy job! 😉 (and sorry for my faulty translation, is google translate!)🙄
