“They surround us, and bind us [...] You must feel The Theme flow around you. Here, between you and me-the reader, the book, the story; yes, even between the movie and the poem.” • Theme: a universal idea, lesson, or message explored throughout a work of literature. It cannot be described in a single word, rather it is a statement of a universal message. A story can have more than one theme it explores throughout. • Moral: a message that is conveyed or a lesson to be learned from a story or event. The moral may be left to the hearer, reader, or viewer to determine for themselves, or may be explicitly encapsulated in a maxim. A moral is a lesson in a story or in real life. - Wikipedia • Methods to find the theme: • Look at the overall subject of the movie or book • Look for repeated images or symbols (Motifs) • Trace the journey of the main characters (whether hero or villain) • Look at key moments of dialogue or plot points (especially the climax and resolution) • The theme should resonate in one or all of these areas. • 10 Universal Themes: • 0:15 ~ Individuals can survive challenging environments in remarkable ways • 0:54 ~ Sacrifices for family or friends are honored • 1:45 ~ Dangerous situations can make people into leaders • 2:45 ~ It doesn't matter what you did, or what you were. • 3:45 ~ Actions speak louder than words • 4:16 ~ Love conquers all. • 5:32 ~ Sometimes love is letting go • 6:30 ~ Power corrupts • 7:15 ~ We are stronger together • 8:00 ~ Be You • 8:33 ~ Movie Credits
