Why does the main character in a movie always have some sort of love interest?

Whether it is a relationship, marriage, or they just have kids. What if the main character was single and had no love interest in the movie and no kids. Was never married etc. I just watched the movie buried. A man is buried alive by Iraqi insurgents. He has a family back home. Would you feel as much for the character if he was just some loner who was buried alive?

I would still feel bad for the character but the family thing is just another angle to try to get you attached to the character
