This

1.  Nobody ever really dies.
2.  Love conquers all.
3.  The individual can make a difference.
4.  You are not alone.

Virtually all Hollywood movies derive from at least one, and usually more than one of these axioms.

  1. So- can you name a film that has all 4 at once? JLLB

  2. I ask that you consider adding the following themes:

    1. WE are not alone (persistance of dieties)

    2. The man of convictions is always right against the masses (rampant individualism).

    3. The Government won't help; you must do it yourself (see #2.)

    4. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you anyway.

  3. AP Cashman-

    I think most of your suggestions are already covered by the big 4:

    1. WE are not alone = nobody ever really dies.

    2. The man of conviction is always right = you are not alone.

    3. The Govt won't help = the individual can make a difference

    I don't know what to do with your #4 (just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you're wrong) but I a afraid to look too closely at that notion, in case it turns out to = love conquers all!
