Films that explore loss can serve as a powerful emotional anchor. They allow audiences to not only empathize with the characters, but also find a sense of shared experience and resilience. In real life, grief is usually a personal journey; in storytelling, it becomes something universal, something that reminds viewers they are not alone.
