Drama

Drama is a special genre in the film industry, which is distinguished by the presence in its plot of complex conflicts, difficult in psychological or life terms. Usually the main character is experiencing a number of difficulties and problems, trying to cope with them in different ways. The main difference from the tragedy is that the ending of such a movie is not always bad. New movie dramas are not built on special effects, entertainment or sharp plot twists, but on human experiences. The drama film is a serious genre, therefore, it does not attract all viewers.

Drama and its subgenres

A Russian or foreign drama film is considered a bit vague. It may include other categories that are specific. That is why there are several subgenres that have their own characteristics:

• military - action films about the war, which are often shot on real events, terrible time and the life of a person in it are described in such tapes without embellishment (for example, «Iron Knight», «Dear John»);
• comedic - when dramatic events are closely intertwined with funny moments, the end of the film is usually positive («Visiting Alice», «How to marry a bachelor»);
• psychological or dramatic thrillers - such films attract with their tension, the viewer does not fully understand what denouement awaits him («Blackbird», «Doctor sleep»);
• documentary and historical - the plot unfolds around an important historical event («For reasons of conscience», «War horse»);
• melodrama - a film about love and loss, the plot is built around two or more people, describing their feelings and feelings («Steven Hawking Universe», «Give me life»);
• detective stories describe murders and other crimes that have affected a person’s fate («Shepherd's Diary», «The disgusting figure eight»);
• fantastic - often the plot unfolds in a future or magical (fictional) world («Snow White», «Eve: artificial intelligence»);
• adventure - usually all events take place in exotic countries, on travel or on the road («On the road», «Friends from France»);
• musicals - there are a lot of songs and music in films («33 postcards»).

The drama is always in suspense, so this genre is most suitable for those who like to experience complex emotions, want to tickle their nerves.
