Dramas and comedies

For a movie to qualify under the cathegory of Drama or comedies, here's the content necessary.


Drama can fall under four cathegories. The first one is drama and comedy putted together. It usually has as much comedy as it has drama in a specific movie. The second one woudl be a "melodrama", the most popular types of drama, in which the whole story involves something trajic, such as death, break ups, family problems and more. A good example of this kind of movies would be "The pursuit of hapiness". Other names used to to talk about melodramas would be "tearjerkers", or "chick flicks". Romance movies is another type of drama, but usually has his own cathegory. Tragedy is the last type of drama, it is much like a melodrama, but the difference is a tragedy is around a mistake made by the principal "caracter".


Comedy cathegory is supposed to bring a smile or to make you laugh. Romantic comedy such as what happens in Vegas, science fiction comedy such as spaceballs, action comedies, such has rush hour. Screwball comedy (often about weddings) such as My big fat Greek wedding. Slapstick comedy (not really any plotline) such as Mr. Bean and least but not last dark humour, such as Harold and Kumar.
