melodrama (motion picture genre) (<genres for motion pictures>, <genres in literature and performing arts>, ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |

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.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 此種電影類型原本是指帶有倫理議題的劇作，著重於善與惡的對立衝突。後來，在大衛‧葛里菲斯（D. W. Griffith）的電影中，例如西元1920年的《東方之路》（Way Down East），以特別煽情通俗的手法來描繪女性的個人和社會問題，也更加強調角色本身。例如在西元1937年的《史黛拉恨史》（Stella Dallas）或道格拉斯‧塞克（Douglas Sirk）的《深鎖春光一院愁》（All That Heaven Allows）等電影中，女性角色為了更高尚的目的犧牲一切，因而少了圓滿結局的劇情。 |
| Dutch ..... 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. |
| Portuguese ..... Gênero cinematográfico originalmente aplicado a peças com enredos com questões morais em que o bem versus o mal eram o foco principal. Mais tarde, os filmes de D W Griffith, como "Way Down East em (1920), os problemas pessoais e sociais das mulheres são retratados de forma particularmente melodramática, e a ênfase se torna mais nos próprios personagens. Em filmes como Stella Dallas (1937) ou "All That Heaven Allows", de Douglas Sirk, o enredo final feliz dá lugar à personagem feminina que sacrifica tudo por uma causa mais nobre. |
