How it's used
Focuses specifically on fans of cinema or movie stars rather than general celebrity culture. While it can refer to fans of a specific actor, it is frequently used to describe someone who is a serious enthusiast of the medium of film itself. It carries a slightly more mature or dedicated connotation than just liking a movie.

Common mistake
Avoid using it for fans of music or sports, as those require different terms like 歌迷 or 波迷. Using it too broadly for any type of celebrity can sound unnatural.
