Page "Drama film" Paragraph 19

In the 2000s, biopics such as Ali ( 2001 ), Frida ( 2002 ), 8 Mile ( 2002 ), Ray ( 2004 ), Walk the Line ( 2005 ), and Milk ( 2008 ) have become popular among filmmakers.

Gladiator ( 2000 ) is an epic, dramatic film, along with The Last Samurai ( 2003 ).

The Gulf War and similar skirmishes were an inspiration for dramatic films in war drama movies like Black Hawk Down ( 2001 ) and Jarhead ( 2005 ).

Despite the drop on popularity of the romantic dramas, some of them have enjoyed big box office and critical success, as the controversial, groundbreaking Brokeback Mountain ( 2005 ) for example, that won several awards and Slumdog Millionaire ( 2008 ), a critically acclaimed romantic-drama that has been nominated for ten Academy Awards, and went on to win eight of them, including Best Picture.
