Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk

The film primarily evokes Sadness, Empathy, and Melancholy as it starkly contrasts the harrowing realities of war experienced by Billy Lynn and his squad with the superficial, celebratory perception of them as heroes during a victory tour. This dramatic core, combined with intense flashbacks, generates significant Anxiety, Anger at the exploitation, and a sense of the Disturbing nature of conflict. While there's some Excitement and Anticipation from the action sequences and the spectacle of the halftime show, these are often tinged with Confusion and Disgust at the commercialization of their trauma, leading to a predominantly somber and reflective emotional experience for the audience.
