Week 2- Petrelli on Drama

Hi Everyone, In this week's topic, I'm going to talk about the movie genre which is drama. and give some examples to support this article. and also, i would like to analysis that why i like it and what is the culture impact of this genre in those movies. 


The genre of drama is mostly depends on the realistic characters dealing with emotional themes such as racial prejudice, crime, drug addiction and alcoholism. We must to know that all genres can include dramatic elements which means the genre of a movie can be not only drama but also mixed, for example, The Godfather(1972) which is belong to the genre of Crime Drama. There is another movie called Forrest Gump(1994) which is a Drama Comedy. In those movies, the elements of drama is not the mainly issue which are focusing in the movie. otherwise, it makes the movie more interesting especially for those people who interested in different genres.  


The first movie i would like to talk about is Crash (2004) which won three Oscars for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing of 2005 at the 78th Academy Awards. It is a movie about the relationships in different class of people in the society and how they are all relate to each other in one story line. when i first saw this movie, i thought those people has no connection with each others but after few more times focusing on the story i finally catch it. in this movie, it talks about the issues such as Class, Racism, culture shock and religion. it is such a phenomenon movie which touch the audience so deeply in a way that the audience had a connection with. 


i do believe that chick flicks create unrealistic expectations of man. because the answer is simple that the man which created in those movies are unrealistic, most of them are not related to the real world it just like a hallucination in their mind. 


Firstly, i would like to say that action movies are different from violent movies. in my theory, those are two different type of movies. Action movies are actors jumping out from a speeding car or somebody trying to catch up a flight or something. but on the other hand, the violent movies are the audience amazed by those things such as blood and dead body. 


Ok, that's all for today, i hope you like it and share your opinions with me, thank you.
