Dance of the 41

Audience emotional responses are primarily driven by the tragic and unjust nature of the historical event depicted. **Sadness** and **Empathy** are high, reflecting the personal suffering and societal persecution faced by the characters, particularly the gay men involved in the scandal. This is coupled with **Anger** at the prejudice and the actions of the authorities. **Love** is present through the depiction of the characters' relationships, while **Melancholy** pervades as viewers reflect on the historical context and the enduring struggles for acceptance. **Anxiety** and **Disturbing** elements arise from the tension of discovery and the harsh realities of the police raid and its aftermath. Despite the somber themes, there's an underlying **Curiosity** about this pivotal historical moment and a subtle sense of **Hope** and **Inspiration** derived from the film's role in shedding light on a significant, albeit painful, step in Mexican LGBTQ+ history.
