It's something I hear quite a lot. Theme being the single most important aspect of our scripts/stories?
Is it possible to have no 'theme'?
Or is there always a 'theme' whether the writer consciously knows it or not?
Do you, as a writer, always have a 'theme'. A clear understanding of its 'theme'?
What does 'theme' mean to you? Does it have to be present in every single scene?
Can a 'theme' be boiled down to one word, or is it usually a more complicated concept than that?
Can there be more than one 'theme'?
As an audience member watching a film, can you always identify a films 'theme'?
Name some popular movies and tell us what the 'theme' and let's see if others agree with you. I have a feeling it's not going to be as black and white as we may think.
Let me know your thoughts on 'theme'.
