Dramatic films occupy one of the leading places in world cinema. Films shot in this genre, despite the complex and difficult plot, have always been popular with viewers. The best domestic and foreign directors and actors starred in such films that were included in the golden fund of film classics. The best dramatic films are the subject of this review.
"Ivan childhood"
One of the most famous works in this genre is a painting by A. Tarkovsky, who became famous as a master of creating psychological images on the screen. His paintings are known not only to the domestic audience, but have received recognition abroad. Dramatic films created by the author, however, are very different from each other. The military story of the little partisan boy is one of the most famous.
A feature of the film is that the author emphasized the image of child psychology, and not the horrors of war, as the directors did before him. Ivan’s dreams were deliberately made bright and bright, as they were supposed to show the viewer that the protagonist, despite the horrors of the war, continues to be a child.
"Scarecrow"
The movie, based on the novel of the same name, tells about the difficult fate of a little schoolgirl who took the blame of a classmate, for which all the other guys announced a boycott and began to brutally persecute, offend and humiliate her. The picture makes a very difficult impression largely due to the fact that the main characters are children who are shown here as cruel and unjust.
Moreover, the new work of R. Bykov was a breakthrough in Soviet cinema, where before schoolchildren were always portrayed as positive characters. Cinema is distinguished by the psychological depth and careful study of the characters, and therefore is rightfully considered one of the best in Russian filmography.
"Burnt by the Sun"
Dramatic films occupy a prominent place in the track record of N. Mikhalkov. In the 1990s, he directed one of his most famous films, which received the Academy Award and other international and Russian awards. The action takes place in the difficult years of repression, which could not be avoided by the main character of the picture, the former commander of the Soviet army. The picture is built on contrasts: a bright, sunny landscape sharply contradicts the heavy drama unfolding against the backdrop of cheerful Soviet reality.
"Moron"
Dramatic films are very often adaptations of the works of classics. One of the best domestic series based on Dostoevsky’s novel received recognition both in our country and abroad for his excellent acting work and well-thought-out script. The depth of the emotions of the heroes is amazing, which exactly corresponds to the plan of the famous author. Actors accurately and convincingly conveyed the emotions and suffering of their characters, providing the picture with wide popularity.
"In the first circle"
Top of the drama films of domestic production completes the film adaptation of the famous novel A. Solzhenitsyn. Cinema after the work tells the story of the difficult fate of a talented scientist who ended up in a special prison and forced to make a difficult choice: to change his conscience, but to secure a tolerable existence, or refuse an offer, but go to exile in Siberia. The hero did not break before this test, did not change his principles, survived in prison camp and received freedom under an amnesty. The moral pathos of the final picture confirms the fairness of his behavior in the trials.
Cramer vs. Cramer
The most dramatic films are sometimes based on a family, everyday situation that can be found in everyday life. A typical example of this genre is the famous American film about the struggle of two former spouses for raising a child. The psychology of the characters is remarkably shown in the movies: both mother and father sincerely love the boy, however, in their blinding, they seem to completely not notice how painful the quarrels and scandals between parents are for his fragile psyche.
Actors D. Hoffman and M. Streep perfectly conveyed the feelings of their heroes: pain, disappointment and, at the same time, deep and sincere love for their son. That is why cinema is deservedly considered one of the best works in American cinema.
“Wait for the dark”
The list of dramatic films of American cinema can be replenished with a well-known picture of a strange story that happened to a young blind woman who managed to deceive and outwit drug dealers alone. The film has elements of a thriller: a gloomy plot is sometimes scary and evokes horror. The film takes place in a confined space, which makes a rather depressing impression, especially closer to the finale.
"Titanic"
Drama films about love are also always popular with the viewer. And here, of course, leadership belongs to the already cult tape of D. Cameron, which is probably rightfully considered the most famous romantic story with a tragic ending. The drama of the movie is achieved due to the sharp contrast between the bright joyful line of characters' love and the catastrophe that cut short the life of the protagonist.
However, the relationship between them is a rather ordinary, typical story of how people of different classes came together: he is a poor wandering artist, she is a rich bride from a noble family. However, the director skillfully combined the line of their rapprochement with the general tragedy on the ship, made it so that the picture became one of the best in his work, collected many awards and is still popular today.
The Spy Bridge
The drama about how an American lawyer, based on his moral convictions, took up the defense of a Soviet intelligence officer, and after numerous difficulties, managed to exchange him for a captured agent from the United States. The merit of the director is that he did not focus on action, but on psychological confrontation and at the same time mutual understanding and respect of these completely different people who belonged to different political systems and held completely different beliefs.
"Survivor"
The drama tells the story of the survival of a hunter left to the mercy of fate by his comrades. The harsh natural conditions, inhuman efforts that the protagonist made to save his life, cause respect and at the same time make the audience empathize with the character's heroism and suffering. The picture is deservedly considered one of the best modern dramatic films, as evidenced by the award of the Oscar L. DiCaprio.
