Undeserved Misfortune
A brilliant example of undeserved misfortune in a film is, of course, "Frozen." (SPOILER ALERT) In Frozen, Elsa has these powers that are considered evil. She has almost killed her sister and was forced to be isolated as a child. On top of that, her parents died on a trip in some rain storm. It was really tragic and Elsa had done nothing to deserve it. Undeserved misfortune in my life is again tricky. One of my dogs had died when I was really young. I guess that must count as underserved misfortune. But that is debatable since nature must take it's course. Undeserved mainly because I was so young and it would have been less hurtful had i been older. This has most definitely been done in a movie. If i remember correctly, Marly and Me was a movie with a similar undeserved misfortune.

Conflict
One of my all time favorite conflict in a movie has to be "Wreck it Ralph." There is actually multiple conflicts but the whole mistreated Ralph was great. I feel like i think it's better than other conflicts because of how relatable it is. Not exactly 100% relatable but somewhat. I really do have trouble thinking of a conflict from my life, most of my conflicts are very internal. So instead of reflecting on my conflict, I'll reflect on a friend's conflict. A friend of mine has trouble with their father. Her father was gone for essentially all of her adolescent years. He had came back 2 years ago and according to her he wasn't even trying to be a good father. I haven't talked to her about it since she had originally told me but I often wonder if things worked out. This is probably a potent idea for a film, in fact it's probably already been integrated into a movie. (SPOILER ALERT: STOP READING NOW IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ALL THE STAR WARS FILMS) Star Wars used something similar to this. Except it was all sci-fi and he cut off his son's hand.
