Donnie Brasco

Donnie Brasco, a compelling blend of Biography, Crime, and Drama, primarily evokes intense **Anxiety** due to the constant peril of Joe Pistone's undercover work and the ever-present threat of exposure within the mafia. This is closely followed by profound **Sadness** and **Empathy**, stemming from Pistone's personal sacrifices, the deterioration of his marriage, and the tragic, inevitable fate of his bond with Lefty Ruggiero. A strong undercurrent of **Melancholy** pervades the film, reflecting the bleak realities of the criminal underworld and the bittersweet, unresolved nature of the protagonist's mission. **Fear** is palpable throughout, driven by the inherent dangers, while **Anticipation** builds as the tension escalates towards the climax. The film also elicits feelings of being **Disturbing** due to its depiction of violence and moral compromises, and **Guilt** as Joe grapples with the devastating consequences of his actions on those he came to care for.
