When I was a kid, I used to state that my favorite movie genres are action, thriller, science fiction, superhero, or adventure. But soon as I grow, I get to know myself better and I have to admit that Drama is, and always be, my favorite genre.
You could watch bunch of incredible actions, got fascinated by tons of extraordinary story ideas. But a touching drama is the one that will stay in your heart. Even any other genres always try to include drama in their plot (Cameron's Avatar = Drama + Sci-Fi + Adventure ?).
I try to recall some of my favorite drama movies. One of them is "A Walk to Remember" that was adapted from novel by Nicholas Sparks. It didn't really get positive reviews. Critics said the movie was forgettable, kinda cheesy.
But who cares with all those reviews? What matters is that watching it made me cry, made many other girls in the world cry. The plot may not seem so realistic, but how Jamie's love changed Landon is "touchy" enough to simply distract our deepest emotions. As a drama, not as a film, A Walk to Remember had succeed. It did.
I've watched A Walk to Remember 2-3 times. But it never fails to make me feel again, especially at the scene when Landon fulfilled one of Jamie's wish : to be at two different places in the same time. The scene was all about sincerity and simple happiness. And I burst out crying (well I AM kind of sensitive).
Finally, we know that Drama is the most award-winning genre, because movie that deserves a winning is a movie that changes life. Maybe not a cheesy teen tale like A Walk to Remember, but a good drama would really change your life rather than just some special effects.
I love drama. Do you?
