    Numerous screenwriters and directors have often dealt in their films with the theme of borders, whether literal and officially recognised, like military ranks or state frontiers, or abstract and metaphorical, like those of morality, justice, race, and gender, along with several others. As a consequence, as John Gibbs points out, one could assemble these movies, especially those taking place on the confines between Mexico and United States, under the label of ‘border films’ (2002: 27); thus contextualising them in a very specific tradition, which includes pictures such as Touch of Evil (Orson Welles 1958) or The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (Tommy Lee Jones 2005). Accordingly, another notable movie belonging to the ‘border film tradition’ is Lone Star: an acclaimed 1996 hybrid of western and mystery film conventions, directed and written by independent filmmaker John Sayles. The picture recounts the story of a murder investigation, which leads the main character, Sheriff Sam

    When viewing a melodrama with an ensemble cast you will notice the difference this will make with how the film functions as a melodrama and how the audience can find it more accessible. A great melodrama to examine with an ensemble cast would be Steel Magnolias (1989), which happens to have a main cast consisting of six characters. Having six main characters can make the film that much more accessible to audience members, since they have a larger chance of finding a character to relate to in this larger cast. A film like Beaches (1988) may be harder to find accessible for many audience members if they can’t find themselves liking or at least relating to one of the two main characters. Having more characters in a melodrama can only ratchet
