Dramatism is a term of Greek origin that, since the 18th century, has been used to refer to a theatrical subgenre that combines characteristics of tragedy and comedy. It is characterized by the representation of the daily life of contemporary society with the author. Dramatic films, unlike sweet comedies, have a sadness, an argument that shows the suffering of the protagonist of the plot who must face different situations of adversity.
Dramatic films also have in many cases a sad ending, which leaves an even more bitter impression on the viewer who has seen a play with a closure opposite to the typical happy ending of a fairy tale. Drama works have a great emotional intensity and the viewer can be overwhelmed at times by the tone of the work. Especially when a person is going through a time of suffering in their personal life, they are also more vulnerable to the effect that a dramatic story can have on their mind.
There are other artistic genres that can also give space to drama: poetry also gives space to dramatic poems just as some lyrics also have this component in their message. In the same way, the theatrical genre also gives space to dramatic works that produce a catharsis of emotions and feelings in the viewer.
Literature and cinema are two arts that have a large part of their inspiration in their own lives, since both show a way of telling stories. Therefore, it should be noted that there are stages in life when drama can appear as shown by episodes of bad luck in which different tragic events come together. In life there are also dramatic events that have a sad ending.
Within the cinematographic field we find a significant number of films that are part of the dramatic genre. Among the most significant throughout history we find, for example, the movie "Titanic" that James Cameron premiered in 1997 with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as protagonists.
This film, winner of eleven Oscars, is considered one of the most important dramas in the history of the seventh art, but in addition to that, we could also highlight other equally significant ones such as, for example, "Life is beautiful." The Italian Roberto Benigni was the one who directed and starred in 1997, obtaining great success from the public and critics, which earned him a whopping fifty international awards.
