Review for 'The Vow'...

Review for 'The Vow'

The Vow has the Genre of both Drama and Romance. This film was a very touching and thrilling film. It had a very excellent storyline and many events in which were emotional and some happy. 

In this film, the conventions that occur are upsetting, interesting and has a solution to the main problem in the end. In this film, I would say that the conventions would be to find a cliffhanger in it, and to have some sort of secret behind the relationship of the girl and her parents, which we get to find out later on in the film. 

In a Drama/Romance genre based film, the audience would always want to see a lot of Drama meaning problems occurring. In this film, that is exactly what happens. The guy tries his ultimate best to try and get the girl's memory back but, along the way something always happens so she doesn't remember anything. The audience would also expect to see some lovey-dovey scenes in a particular film like this. This film however, is based on a true story and the same things actually had happened to that real-life couple. 

I feel that the way conventions have changed for a specific Genre would be, how there would not have been many interesting events occuring in the films. This would also mean that endings would have probably differed from nowadays too. In my opinion, I feel as if this film has met all the conventions that there are for a Drama/Romantic movie. 

A Romantic Drama is sub-type of the drama and Romance Genre that centers it's action on a romantic conflict. The representation of a romantic drama mainly tends to be a clear-cut character study of a couple struggling to unite or stay together no matter how many problems seem to occur. A Romantic Drama often ends with tragic or downbeat circumstances. 

The conventions that you would expect in a typical Drama/Romance movie would definitely include characters like; the princess, the nerd/geek or in this case, the prince! Also, The Misfit or the Outcast would be present in a Drama/Romantic film.
