Dead Presidents

Dead Presidents elicits a complex range of emotions, heavily influenced by its 'Drama' and 'Crime' genres, underscored by 'Action'. The audience primarily experiences **Sadness** and **Anger** due to the profound disillusionment faced by Black American veterans returning from the Vietnam War, confronting continued racial injustice and a lack of social progress. **Anxiety** and **Empathy** are high, driven by the characters' desperate circumstances, the tension of the heist, and the brutal realities of their lives. **Excitement** and **Anticipation** are present during the action sequences and the planning of the high-stakes crime. A pervasive sense of **Melancholy** and **Disturbing** imagery reflects the film's somber tone and the violent consequences of their choices, leaving viewers with a powerful, often tragic, emotional impact.
