Genre Review. Drama (Kidulthood)

I have just watched Kidulthood in order to be able to review it. Surprisingly it is not only a coming of age film but a drama. It was interesting because there were some elements I can use in my film., it was humorous at times, serious at times, but it made me think and question life. The themes used are everyday situations which many people can relate to or say that they have witnessed. The plot, the dialogue were all relate-able to normal day in the life of an average person. None of the bright lights or bigger cities you would get in the Hollywood blockbusters. 

Just normal life, and for me this worked well as it had all the conventions of and drama film it exhibits elements of everyday life, it portrayed a journey and development of characters in Adulthood. The purpose of a drama story line is to move the audience emotionally; which it did. The heart of drama is the conflict between main characters, realistic struggles depicting hardships, difficulty, and pain the audience can relate to the Characters. It had structured with climaxes and anti climaxes to keep the audience emotionally attached and the tension form of realization at the end. Drama's can also be interlaced with other genres such as comedy, tragedy, etc. It does not have to be complete drama.
