There would be a much more strict set of characters in 'old' Hollywood, they would often be the same characters repeated but represented differently each time.
Example;
In a western film the characters may be presented as cowboys but one may be good, one bad, a woman who needs saving from the bad guy and somebody who helps the good guy.

In 'new' Hollywood we are presented with much more of a variety of characters. This is due to the amount of knowledge and experience we now have with producing films.

They have learnt how to present characters more realistically and that people are much more complicated than they seem, which allows diversity between characters.
