Matinee

Matinee evokes a strong sense of Humor and Joy, primarily stemming from its affectionate parody of 1960s B-movies and the kitschy horror spectacle. A significant wave of Nostalgia is felt for the era and its cinematic charm. Underlying the lightheartedness, the film generates Anxiety, Sadness, and Empathy due to the real-world tension of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which provides a dramatic backdrop and ultimately leads to a sense of Relief as the crisis subsides. Anticipation and mild Fear are also present, driven by both the on-screen monster movie and the real-world threat.
