Joyous celebration
Alexander Mackendrick, Director The Ladykillers

All is right with the world because virtuous people prevail over evil people. Evil people simply destroy themselves, and innocence strengthens you.

Evil is impotent. Secondary theme: you can’t cheat an honest lady.

 
Shute, Nevil Landfall Heroes and Heroines are self-made, by anyone at any level of intelligence who seriously pursues what is important in their lives.

Truth will triumph -- with perseverance.
Domenichino Head of a Bearded Man Pensive, worried, detached qualities of humanity

Director: Benigni, Roberto Monster, The Just laughter and more of the same.
Playwright: Rostand, Edmond Cyrano de Bergerac Life can be exciting. Life can be grand, literally.
There is also some great sadness about consummated love, since it is portrayed as unreachable.

The importance of independence and independent thought. Compromise is deadly to one's soul.
Sub-themes: a) Doubt of one's goodness because of an incidental fact (physical feature) is terribly damaging and tragic. b) Helping someone by faking reality is damaging and can come to no good.
Architect: Wright, Frank Lloyd Johnson Wax Building Day to day life can be exalted and pleasurable.

Quiet repose and sisterly love. The piece exudes a quiet elegance and peacefulness amidst the complex three-dimensional composition. The inclusion of "sisterly love" is less certain, except that taking into account the mythological background of the piece. It can be argued that one should not take that into account, so perhaps that should not formally be included in the theme.
Rudyard Kipling The Ballad of East and West

When two sworn opponents recognize each other’s heroic qualities, their enmity dissolves. We feel inspired to see that  intelligent and courageous men can recognize what is truly fundamental in the character of each individual.

Though different cultures may be fundamentally opposed, two individuals from such opposites may fully transcend those differences and respect each other for their virtues.
Composer: Coward, Noel I'll See You Again Life is bittersweet

Sweet memories of love last forever
Painter: Alexander, John White Repose Life is extravagant and lush and sensual.

Feminine Sensuality is a main theme, though one can argue that a related (equal theme or sub-theme) is: The Lushness of the Material World. The dramatic draped womanly figure pressing against a divan, whose figure is clearly oulined, shares the visual dominance of the painting along with the magnificent sweeps of her dress and the giant pillows, the massive backrest, and even the strong elements of the floor material and the golden back wall. All together a remarkable composition.
Composer: Beethoven, Ludwig Symphony no. X

Composer: Verdi, Giuseppe Attila (live performance) Life is a mix of strength, heroism, romantic passion.

The work is a long complex opera, so it has many other lyrical emotions as part of it, but this covers the basic sense of life.

Loving a heroic woman leads to death
Villeroy & Boch Chocolate Pitcher and Butter Dish Friendly warmth (arising from the simple graceful lines, and the unadorned simplicity of the colors without ornament)
Designer: Anonymous Confectionary Basket from Japan, Fukui region Life can be dynamic and purposeful and intriguing -- because of the dynamic form and economy of materials and diagonal symmetry of the composition.

Life is loss of dreams and sadness
Sculptor: Tuby, Jean Baptiste (1630-1700) Chariot of Apollo The world has thrilling powerful men of action.  There are no limits to what can be achieved.
