Robot & Frank

Robot & Frank elicits significant Humor from the quirky premise of a retired cat burglar training his robot caretaker for heists, leading to amusing situations and witty dialogue. This contributes to feelings of Joy and Happiness. However, a strong undercurrent of Drama about aging, loneliness, and the onset of dementia evokes considerable Sadness and Melancholy, particularly as Frank's condition worsens. Empathy is deeply felt for Frank's struggles and his son's attempts to care for him. The Crime elements introduce Anxiety and Anticipation during the planning and execution of burglaries, while Nostalgia is present as Frank revisits his past profession. The unique bond between Frank and the robot also fosters a sense of Love.
