Elements of the Film

There are several elements that makeup this film:

• A sympathetic Heroine
• Emotional Tension
• Happy Ever After Ending
• Believable Plot
• A huge fight/ argument breaks out  

What Elements Do I Like?

The emotional plot is another thing that brings in an audience. The emotional rollercoaster that the audience goes through with the heroine allows the audience to feel as if they are actually in the movie.

What Elements Don’t I Like?

The cliche of always having a happy ending. The way life works, sometimes things happen in life and there isn’t always the cliche of the couple gets married and lives happily ever after.
