Audience emotional responses are dominated by intense Anxiety and Anticipation, reflecting the urgent 'race against time' to save the kidnapped victim. Deep Sadness and Empathy are evoked by the victim's suffering and his family's despair. Significant Fear, Anger, and a sense of the Disturbing arise from the brutal nature of the crime, the antisemitic motive, and the actions of the 'gang of barbarians'. Disgust towards the perpetrators' cruelty and a pervasive Melancholy due to the tragic true story also contribute significantly to the emotional landscape.
