Dramatic Theme

- A drama film is a film genre that depends mostly on in-depth development of realistic characters dealing with emotional themes.
This film genre can be contrasted with an action film, which relies on fast-paced action and physical conflict but superficial character development. All film genres can include dramatic elements, but typically, films considered drama films focus mainly on the drama of the main issue.
Drama films have been nominated frequently for the Academy Award (particularly Best Picture) - more than any other film genre.
