Dramas are the best ones. How? You asked what drama actually is? It is a film genre in which characters are dealing with deep emotional feelings. Dramas are putting the characters in conflict with themselves and often have tragic or painful resolutions. Personally, I love them, they are my favorite. Did you know that drama is the genre that includes the most movies? Are you surprised? That movies such as Inception (2010), The Godfather (1972) or Into the Wild (2008) are dramas? That most of the best movies belong to that genre? What can give you more feelings that love combined with sadness, a bit of hope or fear? That movies who are talking about life and death?
Don't talk about comedies, most of them sink into oblivion half an hour after being watched. You sad sci-fi? That's for old children. What about romance? That's for old moms. Horror movies? Honestly, do you really remember the last time you were scared while watching them? I don't. May be I was to young. Action movies? Forget it, they are all nearly the same. Drama! That's what you have to watch! However, I would bet a lot that you already have seen good movies of those genres, but I would bet much more that they also were dramas! It is actually a genre which you can combine with almost all the other genres.
Drama is also the best way for the directors to transmit emotions and make us think about some subjects. Nothing better than a sad story, you will keep it in mind. There's no more explicit way to denounce something than the drama genre: it takes you by the heart. Watch out! I don't talk about the bad movies, but about dramas of good quality made by a good crew and lead by a good director.
If you too have remarked that movies have got more and more boring since your childhood, it is that you haven't even been dazzled by a good drama! You don't like watching movies anymore? That's because you haven't watched the right ones! Try dramas. As I said it, they are the best ones!
I can't totally agree with you.
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, it's sure that most of the good and really famous movies are dramas. If you want to have deep emotional feelings, you have to watch dramas.
But on the other hand, you can't say that every movie that isn't a drama is a bad one. For instance, if you want to relax, it's better to watch a comedy than a drama.
I really like dramas and I agree partially with your idea, but you shouldn't generalize them. There are unpleasant dramas, and awesome other movies who aren't dramas.
Moreover, you have great writing skills, keep on, cant' wait for your next post!
