Unlike literary fiction, the fictional film has a real referent, called the Pro-filmic , which encompasses everything existing and done in front of the camera. Only in fictional filmmaking, the pro-filmic represents a different, Diegetic meaning: sets serve as locations and actors as characters. Since the emergence of Classical Hollywood style in the early 20th century, narrative, usually in the form of the Feature Film , has held dominance in commercial cinema and has become popularly synonymous with "the movies." Classical, invisible filmmaking (what is often called " Realist " fiction) is central to this popular definition. Certain films, however, have more experimental fictions (the work of Alain Resnais or Neo-noir like ''Memento'', for example), and Hollywood in itself has loosened some of its rules since the 1970s, adopting what some have called a " Post-classical " style.
