California Dreamin'

Audience emotional responses for 'California Dreamin'' are primarily driven by its unique blend of comedy and drama set against a war backdrop. High levels of Humor, Joy, and Happiness stem from the absurd bureaucratic standoff and the villagers' opportunistic, yet often endearing, interactions with the American Marines. Empathy and Melancholy are significant, reflecting the villagers' challenging circumstances, Monica's dreams for a better life, and the transient nature of the encounter. Sadness and Hope also emerge from the dramatic elements and the underlying context of the Kosovo War. Curiosity is piqued by the cultural clash, while Anger and Anxiety are present due to the frustrating delay and the broader war situation, though not as dominant as in typical war films.
