scope note
  • Film genre originally applied to plays with plots with moral issues where good versus evil were the main focus. Later, the films of D. W. Griffith, such as "Way Down East in (1920), the personal and social problems of women are portrayed in particularly melodramatic way, and the emphasis become more on characters themselves. In films like Stella Dallas (1937) or Douglas Sirk's "All That Heaven Allows," the happy ending plot gives way to the female character sacrificing everything to a more noble cause. (en)
  • Filmgenre, waarvan de term oorspronkelijk werd gebruikt voor toneelstukken met plots over morele kwesties, waarbij de strijd tussen goed en kwaad het centrale thema was. Later, in de films van D.W. Griffith (zoals 'Way Down East' uit 1920), werden de persoonlijke en sociale problemen van vrouwen op een bijzonder melodramatische manier afgeschilderd en kwam de nadruk vooral op de personages zelf te liggen. In films als 'Stella Dallas' (1937) of 'All That Heaven Allows' van Douglas Sirk werd het happy end vervangen door een einde waarin het vrouwelijke personage alles opoffert voor een hoger doel. (nl)
