Cecil B. Demented

Audiences primarily experience Humor from the film's satirical take on Hollywood and the absurd, anarchic antics of Cecil's guerrilla filmmaking crew. This is complemented by feelings of Joy and Happiness derived from the rebellious spirit and comedic situations. The crime and thriller aspects introduce Anxiety and Anticipation as the audience wonders if Cecil's group will succeed or be caught, and what unpredictable stunt they will pull next. There's also a sense of Surprise from the unexpected turns and the audacity of the filmmakers. Underlying these are feelings of Anger against the perceived superficiality of the studio system and a degree of Empathy for Honey Whitlock's transformation and the passion of the independent artists.
