Re: Theme examples, rather than just debate.
I got this concept from some story analyst that was speaking at some sort of expo... or something.
I would say that WIN is a goal expressed in lots of movies. Winning friendship, relationship, my independence.(Cable Guy)
but, take a movie like: As Good as it Gets. It's not about winning, but Forgetting.
Forget why things are so bad and take a chance on love.
Forget why you hate Melvin(Nicholson) and go on a trip with him.
Forget all of Melvins problems and find what's great about him.
Forget your Problems, Melvin and take the leap and fall in love.
Everyone needs to forget the past, racism, hate, female insecurity.
And step on a few cracks in the street.
let me see I can go another one:
okay I'll do the opposing value. Remember.
YOJIMBO. Kurosawa. all the actions in the film, bring him back, to Remember why he's a Samurai(similar to the Superman films)
Remember your honor, and if you can't be a servant of the people of Japan, then you are of no use to anyone.
At first he tries to not get involved, but he remembers his duty as a samurai.
With each scene he goes back and forth to each of the antagonists, presenting justice, Samurai style. With each action he remembers why the people need samurai and why only he can be the justice of the land.
his character arc is directly related to the Theme of the film. The fact that it was made in 1961, about Samurai. Says:
Remember this time, and what samurai ment to the Japanese people.
