10!!Tropes associated with Goodall's work include:
11
12* BasedOnATrueStory: 1993's ''Film/SchindlersList'' focuses on the titular industrialist's life and his efforts to save people's lives during the [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Nazi oppression]] of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
13* BigGood: Goodall plays the unnamed "Madam President", [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed bearing a clear resemblance to a certain 2008 and 2016 candidate]], leading the [[UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks U.S. military forces]] in the 2018 action movie ''Film/HunterKiller''.
14* BlackAndWhiteMorality: This trope is totally justified given the historical context of ''Schindler's List'', with the fanatical Nazis being shown as the monsters that they were.
15* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Goodall's President of the United States in ''Hunter Killer'' bears a strong resemblance to a notable female politician that has run for that office but not succeeded.
16* NoNameGiven: The aforementioned U.S. President is simply called by her title in that film.
17* PreventTheWar: ''Hunter Killer'' could basically be called ''Prevent The War: TheMovie.''
18* RenegadeRussian: The villains of ''Hunter Killer'' aren't just acting outside of the Kremlin's authority (as in many Film/JamesBond movies]]). The bad guys actively murder and hold hostage the civilian leadership and their people.
19* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Goodall's Moira Banning in ''Film/{{Hook}}'', the wife of Peter "Banning" Pan (played by Creator/RobinWilliams), has to raise their children in the constant absence of the {{workaholic}} Peter.
20* WorldWarIII: This is what multiple characters strive to prevent and the BigBad plans to cause in ''Hunter Killer''.
