They can include traditional swashbucklers, serializes films, and historical spectacles (similar to the epics film genre), searches or expeditions for lost continents, "jungle" and "desert" epics, treasure hunts, disaster films, or searches for the unknown.
Dramas are more serious, plot-driven presentations, portraying realistic characters, settings, life situations, and stories involving intense character development and interaction. Usually, they are not focused on special-effects, comedy, or action, or Romantic Dramatic films are probably the largest film genre, with many subsets. See also melodramas, (epics historical dramas), or genres. (Dramatic biographical films or "biopics") are a major sub-genre, as are 'adult' films (with mature subject content).

Dwellers in Pondicherry, India, the family decides to move to Canada, hitching a ride on a huge freighter.

This film is interesting because you wanna know whats going to happen next but i didnt like it at the same time because the storyline was a bit lame.

Film Genre- Drama

GENRE: DRAMA

A drama is a film that deals a lot with human emotions. They are usually very serious or tense.
Conventions of Drama: They're all real life situations with realistic characters, settings, and stories.
The purpose of a dramatic story line is to move the audience emotionally
 Drama can be interlaced with other genres such as comedy, tragedy, etc. It does not have to be complete drama.
Drama Films That Break Conventions A comedy drama, It broke the convention of a typical ending where the audience knew what was going to happen to Larry. The film tried something new, that the audience would not predict. Titanic breaks the conventions as all does not end happily for the protagonists, but has a rather tragic ending.

A Walk To Remember

In Beaufort, North Carolina, a prank on a student goes terribly wrong and puts the student in the hospital. Landon Carter, a popular student with no defined plans for the future, is held responsible and forced to participate in after-school community service activities as punishment, which include starring as the lead in the school play. Also participating in these activities is Jamie Sullivan, the reverend's daughter who has great ambitions and nothing in common with Landon. When Landon decides he wants to take his activities seriously, he asks Jamie for help and begins to spend most of his time with her. But he starts to develop strong feelings for her, something he did not expect to do. The two start a relationship, much to the chagrin of Landon's old popular friends and Jamie's strict reverend father. But when a heart-breaking secret becomes known that puts their relationship to the test, it is then that Landon and Jamie realize the true meaning of love and fate.

I liked this film because it was very interesting and it brought out my emotions a lot.
