my favorite movie genre!

I like the movies The Shawshank Redemption and The Nuovo cinema Paradiso, both of their movie genres contains drama. The website IMDB has already gave the definition of drama as:"should contain numerous consecutive scenes of characters portrayed to effect a serious narrative throughout the title. This can be exaggerated upon to produce melodrama. Please submit any such keywords. Subjective." (IMDB,10/08/2007, www.imdb.com/Guides/genres) In the movie Nuovo cinema Paradiso, the main character is the Toto, it shows the entire life of Toto. When he was young, he was a very smart boy who lived in a small town in Italy, he liked everything about movies. the projector of the cinema of paradiso ( the only small cinema in this town), Alfredo is the best friend of Toto, he taught everything he knew to Toto, not only about movies, but also about love, life and many other things. He also disrupted Toto's love when he was young, and forced him to go to Roman to work. finally, Toto became the most famous movie director in Italy, and he also own a valuable memory with this old man. In the Shawshank Redemption, the main character Andy was a banker when he was young, but he was misarrested by the police and put into the prison. this movie shows his convict career, and shows the friendship between him and Red, who also is a prisoner. He used his knowledge to help people to get fun, to found out the evidence of the crime of gaolers, and finally got out of the prison. I like the words he said:"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free." This movie shows Andy's strong ability to get out of the fear, and to find out the freedom and happy. In conclusion, I like drama because it shows everything about a person's life, with many dimensions, and this kind of movie can impresses me really a lot!
