Ride with the Devil

Audience emotional responses are heavily influenced by the grim realities of the Civil War depicted, leading to high levels of Sadness, Empathy, and Melancholy as characters face loss and moral ambiguity. Anxiety and Fear are prominent during skirmishes and periods of hiding. Love and Hope emerge through the bonds of friendship and romance amidst the chaos, while Anger and Disturbing feelings arise from acts of violence and revenge. The film's focus on Jake's internal struggle and disillusionment contributes to feelings of Confusion and Guilt, offering little room for sustained Joy or Excitement.
