Perhaps no other genre of film varies as much as drama. From war stories, courtroom or crime, to historical or biographies, dramas can emerge from almost any setting, so long as conflicts are intense and the stakes are high. A great drama transcends the screen and makes the audience feel what the characters are feeling, relate to their experiences, and learn their lessons.
