Mank

Mank, a biographical drama, primarily evokes a strong sense of Nostalgia for Old Hollywood, amplified by its black-and-white aesthetic and period setting. Viewers experience deep Empathy for Herman J. Mankiewicz's struggles with alcoholism, his wit, and his fight for artistic integrity, leading to significant Sadness and Melancholy regarding his personal and professional disillusionment. There's also considerable Curiosity about the creative process behind a cinematic masterpiece and the real-life figures involved, alongside a degree of Anger at the political and studio machinations he faced.
