7 Most Intriguing Story Themes in Movies
By Ken Miyamoto September 3, 2019 No Comments
What do audiences respond to most when it comes to story themes within movies? Theme is an often debated subject that has multiple definitions depending on who you talk to. It’s the underlying message, philosophy, or perspective that forces the characters to react to the conflict as they do within the story. It’s the big idea of the screenplay. It’s the DNA of the story, underneath the plot. It’s the philosophical question posed to the audience. It’s the emotional catharsis felt by the audience by the end of the story. Whatever definition you respond to most — there’s no right or wrong answer — story themes clearly play an essential role in the impact that a film makes with the reader or audience. Story themes can be broad, defined by a simple word or phrase — usually later defined as genres and subgenres — or they can be found deeper within those broad definitions. Here we feature seven of the most intriguing — and successful — story themes that all screenwriters should consider when developing their next screenplays.
