EXAMPLES OF COMEDY:
1.) Ang Tanging Ina
The story revolves around the ups and downs of being a single mother, Ina (Ai-Ai Delas Alas), the main protagonist. Her three husbands leave her with 12 children and financial problems to shoulder. A simple plot with a hilarious cast, packed with laughs and tear- jerker scenes with movie/commercial spoofs, surely Ang Tanging Ina will delight every heart. It is an example of comedy because it includes family humor.
2.) Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap
Set in the imaginary Barangay Husay, Eman teams up with his two friends, Toto and Carlo who start as the underdogs, failing at every opportunity to succeed in their small- time scams. They then meet Nicoy who becomes part of Eman's group breaking the tradition of having only 3 members per gang. It is considered a comedy because of its dirty jokes.
3.) Tom and Jerry
4.) Oggy and the Cockroaches
EXAMPLES OF TRAGEDY
1.) Romeo and Juliet
At the end of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo returns to Verona because he believes Juliet is dead. When he arrives at her tomb, she appears lifeless, and in his grief, he kills himself by drinking poison. Moments later Juliet wakes, and, finding Romeo dead, she plunges his sword into her breast. It is considered a tragedy because both of the main characters died at the end of the story.
2.) The Death of a Salesman
In this story, the aging salesman named Willy Loman once believed that charisma, obedience, and persistence would lead to prosperity. Now that his sanity is wearing thin, and his son has failed to live up to his expectations, Loman determines that he is worth more dead than alive. So, he killed himself at the end of the story.
3.) Titanic
EXAMPLES OF FARCE
1.) Home alone
However, this movie also falls snugly into the farce category. The unlikely situation of a family forgetting their child is a bit far-fetched; however, you have a laugh-out-loud comedy classic when you throw in a couple of bumbling robbers and a house full of traps.
2.) The Pink Panther
3.) Mr. Bean
EXAMPLES OF MELODRAMA
1.) Kadenang Ginto
Kadenang Ginto is considered melodrama because of its exaggerated acting and usually focuses on physical actions or fights rather than the story itself.
2.) Florante at Laura
Florante at Laura is a shorter version of its original title, written in ancient Tagalog: “Pinagdaanang Buhay ni Florante at ni Laura sa Cahariang Albania. Florante at Laura was said to be the outcome of Balagtas’ heartbroken situation after losing the woman that he loved the most whom he referred to as “Celia.” This is considered melodrama because the story is now occurring on staged performance.
Musical Drama
1.) The greatest showman
The greatest showman is a biographical musical about the life of a child as a circus and entertainment producer. It is considered a musical drama because it includes singing, dancing, acting, and musical plays all at the same tie.
2.) The Movie in My Mind (Miss Saigon)
The Movie in My Mind presents the disenchanted side of the bargirls as they describe how their hopes of a family and a new life remain despite being treated only like sex objects by the GI soldiers. This is an example of musical drama because it encompasses acting and singing at the same time.
