Theme and Point of View

Analysis of how (in a good script -- or novel etc) there is a theme, which runs with the story. Such as the way sexism makes life difficult for women in today's world in the film The Silence of the Lambs (w Ted Tally, d Jonathan Demme, novel Thomas Harris), although the story is about the FBI catching a psychotic killer with the help of a cannibal psychopath. Some people will enjoy watching psychopaths do what they do, some people will enjoy the fear and terror and some people will get the whole "message" along with the drama. But it is understated and often difficult to see at first.
