Gummo

Gummo elicits a strong sense of **Disturbing** and **Sadness**, reflecting the bleak post-tornado landscape of Xenia and the aimless, often unsettling lives of its inhabitants. A pervasive **Melancholy** underscores the film's atmosphere, while scenes of bizarre and anti-social behavior, such as cat killing and exploitation, provoke significant **Disgust** and **Anger**. The non-narrative structure and surreal vignettes contribute heavily to **Confusion** and **Curiosity**, as viewers attempt to make sense of the depicted reality. Despite being categorized as a 'Comedy,' any **Humor** is extremely dark and observational, often stemming from the grotesque or absurd, rather than traditional comedic elements. **Empathy** is felt for the characters trapped in such a desolate existence, alongside a general sense of **Anxiety** from the unsettling content.
