Things Change

Things Change primarily evokes **Humor** and **Joy** through its comedic premise of a dignified shoe-shiner mistaken for a mafia don and the misadventures orchestrated by his well-meaning but bumbling gangster guard. The audience feels **Happiness** from the evolving, unlikely bond between the two leads. Underlying the comedy, the film generates significant **Empathy** for Gino's quiet predicament and Jerry's attempts at redemption, alongside a touch of **Melancholy** due to the bittersweet nature of their situation. There's also a consistent thread of **Anxiety** and **Anticipation** stemming from the crime element, as the characters navigate potential dangers and the consequences of their deception.
