Content: 1. Good vs. Evil
The oldest and perhaps most successful story theme. Whether it’s Light vs. Dark ( Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings ), White Hat Heroes vs. Black Hat Villains (Westerns of the 40s, 50s, and 60s), Innocence vs. Evil ( It, Poltergeist, The Exorcist ), or Superheroes vs. Supervillains (The Marvel Cinematic Universe, Batman movies, Superman movies), good versus evil is the most easily defined story theme in the history of cinema. It’s easy to know which side to root for. And despite the conflict that ensues, the good side usually, but not always ( No Country for Old Men ), prevails. 2. Love
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.
