What is more important and timeless than emotions and emotional externalization? Drama, one of the most significant and artistically composite means of sentimental sharing, finds its roots in Athens in the 6th century BC, where the hearty need for emotional expression led to a primary form of theater, which was meant to be a great influence for all of the art kinds throughout the four dimensional continuum.
Thankfully, quite a long time later, the technological flourishing of the fruitful 20th century offered humanity the most intertemporal and overpowering medium that, more than anything else, captures and conveys life's tragedy and comedy: cinema. From Ingmar Bergman's sorrowful philosophical contemplations to Yasujirō Ozu's simplistic depiction of workaday melancholy, the seventh art has always been emotionally stirring and intellectually searching.
