The Youngest Son

Audience emotional responses for 'The Youngest Son' would primarily revolve around a blend of dark humor and dramatic pathos. Humor would be prominent, arising from the absurd or cynical situations involving the amoral protagonist. This would be balanced by significant sadness and empathy, particularly for the wife and the protagonist's eventual struggles. Anger and disgust would also be evoked by the protagonist's 'amoral' nature and 'manhandling' of his wife, while anxiety would build as he falls into the 'claws of a wheeler dealer'. Melancholy and a more subdued sense of joy or happiness would round out the experience, reflecting the film's dramedy genre.
