On Board

Audience emotional responses for 'On Board' are primarily driven by a pervasive sense of **Sadness** and **Melancholy**, reflecting the characters' deep dissatisfaction, decrepitude, and the plot's tragic inevitability where 'none of them can not get off without a loss.' High **Anxiety** is generated by the confined, tense setting of the ruined boat, the high-stakes crime, and the unpredictable, dangerous nature of the unknown woman. **Anger** is present as the audience connects with the duped sailors' desire for retaliation, while **Empathy** is evoked by the desperate circumstances and 'depressed wishes' of the characters. The film also elicits **Disturbing** feelings due to the woman's portrayal as an 'appalling potential enemy' and the overall dark, tense atmosphere of a crime unfolding in a claustrophobic environment.
