Moffie

Moffie, a powerful Drama, Romance, and War film, elicits strong emotional responses centered on the protagonist's harrowing experience. Audience emotions are dominated by **Anxiety** and **Sadness**, reflecting Nicholas's constant fear of being discovered as gay within the brutally homophobic and racist Apartheid military, and the tragic nature of his suppressed identity. Deep **Empathy** is felt for his struggles, alongside **Fear** of the war's dangers and the regime's 'treatment' for homosexuality. A pervasive sense of **Melancholy** underscores the film's somber tone. Despite the perilous circumstances, **Love** emerges as a central, albeit dangerous, theme, while **Anger** and **Disgust** are directed at the oppressive Apartheid system and its toxic machismo. A fragile **Hope** for connection and survival exists amidst the 'Disturbing' realities depicted.
