On par with Good vs. Evil, the story theme of Love is intriguing because every human being craves it — which makes the plight of the characters within love-themed stories relatable to audiences. Romantic Comedies ( Pretty Woman, Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, Love Actually ), Historical Romances ( Titanic, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca ), Romance Epics ( Dances with Wolves, Last of the Mohicans ), Romance Tragedies ( Romeo and Juliet, A Walk to Remember, Brokeback Mountain ), and so many more subgenres of the Love Story Theme have captured the hearts of audiences since the early days of cinema. Everyone knows what it’s like to love someone, win someone over, lose someone you love, etc. 3. Perseverance
Perseverance Movies can be better defined in these contemporary times as Underdog Movies because when a protagonist is forced to persevere through conflict, trials, and tribulations, they are clearly the underdog in the situation or scenario. Audiences love to be moved and inspired. In a world where a majority of the population doesn’t get a chance to chase their ultimate dreams, it’s intriguing to experience a story theme through the eyes of a protagonist that does. It could be Sports Underdog stories ( Rocky, Rudy, Major League, Bad News Bears, Hoosiers ), Inspiring Dramas ( The Pursuit of Happiness, The Karate Kid ), or even Uplifting Courtroom Dramas ( The Verdict, A Few Good Men, Erin Brockovich ). Whatever the Perseverance or Underdog Story theme is, readers and audiences respond to them.
