Many people consider "The Red Violin" a romantic film, but it seems more like a dramatic film in most places. The film does show love and passion in some of the acts, but it also shows death and repression. For example, the violinmaker who creates it makes it for his expected son, but his wife and unborn son die in childbirth. Later, the violin has to be hidden in Communist China when they outlaw Western music. The violin is witness to history all over the world, and it brings happiness for some, but tragedy for others.
There are several protagonists in this unusual film, one for each of the locations where the violin travels. In essence, the ultimate protagonist of the film is the violin itself, because it is the "glue" that brings each of the characters together somehow, and affects their lives for good or bad.
