Different approaches address melodrama from different perspectives and usually focus on different aspects of a melodramatic production. Most of the approaches rely heavily on theories in ways of understanding melodrama. A cognitive theory of film focuses on the way audiences in general perceive a film.

The analysis is supported by a close reading of the last sequence of the film.
