for Real (2014)” is one of the most eye-catching drama fiction movies in Hollywood (Wallace et al. 6).

Therefore, hybrid movies that unite elements of both genres seem to displease many critics because of encountered difficulties to categorize the respective one (27).

Warrior “I think I liked you better when you were drunk. These were harsh words used by Tommy Conlon in the movie “Warrior.” You usually don’t hear this phrase, but in this movie it is one of the most memorable things said.

the viewpoint of the directors. In this portrayal of the movie of hamlet (1996), he can be seen as an individual who is always in a constant battle between his emotions due to the enormous pressure placed on him.
