Sommersby

Sommersby evokes a powerful sense of **Love** as Laurel and the man claiming to be Jack build a new, profound relationship amidst uncertainty. This romance is tinged with deep **Sadness** due to the lingering effects of war, the original Jack's unpleasant past, and the ultimate sacrifice made for truth and love. **Empathy** is high for Laurel's impossible situation and the 'new' Jack's earnest efforts to redeem a past he may not have lived. The mystery genre fuels strong **Anticipation** and **Curiosity** about his true identity and the consequences of its revelation. Finally, a pervasive **Hope** for a better future and a bittersweet **Melancholy** reflecting the post-war setting and the complex nature of their love story round out the dominant emotional landscape.
