The Mask

The Mask (1994) is predominantly a vibrant and zany comedy, with Jim Carrey's performance as the titular character being the central driver of audience emotion. Therefore, **Humor** is the most dominant emotion, stemming from the Mask's exaggerated, cartoonish antics, slapstick, and rapid-fire gags. This leads to high levels of **Joy** and **Happiness** as audiences are entertained and delighted by the chaotic fun. The unpredictable nature of the Mask's powers and actions generates considerable **Surprise** and **Excitement**. While the plot involves a crime element with a dangerous villain, the comedic tone often overshadows the darker aspects. However, there is still **Anticipation** and some **Anxiety** as Stanley navigates the threats posed by Dorian Tyrel, and **Empathy** for Stanley's initial timidness and later his predicament. Ultimately, the film delivers a sense of **Relief** and **Satisfaction** when the villain is defeated and order is restored, albeit in a uniquely 'Mask' way.
