Many of cinema's most memorable love stories end with the separation or death of one or both lovers; the paradox underlying the film helps explains why they stick in viewers' memories.

The Power of Film

Love and Meaning

The Power of Paradox

Watch the greatest films of all time  as well as classic shorts  trailers  and original documentaries - anytime!

Film drama frequently treats central characters as if they were heroes or villains, but often the two are very much alike.

Heroes and Villains

The Power of Character Relationships
