As Tears Go By

Audience emotional responses are heavily influenced by **Sadness**, **Empathy**, and **Melancholy**, reflecting the poignant and often tragic narrative of a triad 'big brother' caught between loyalty to his reckless 'little brother' and a desire for a peaceful life with his love interest. High **Anxiety** and **Anger** arise from the constant danger and unpredictable violence of the criminal underworld. **Love** and a fleeting sense of **Hope** are central to the romantic subplot, providing moments of tenderness amidst the grim reality, though ultimately contributing to the film's overall bittersweet and **Disturbing** atmosphere.
