Barfly

Barfly primarily evokes **Humor** through its cynical wit, absurd situations, and the raw, unconventional interactions of its characters, particularly the memorable bar fight scenes. This dark comedic tone is deeply intertwined with significant feelings of **Sadness** and **Melancholy**, reflecting the bleak realities of alcoholism, poverty, and the characters' self-destructive yet chosen lifestyles. Viewers also experience strong **Empathy** for Henry and Wanda, understanding their struggles and the unique, co-dependent **Love** that forms between them, which is far from a conventional romance. The film elicits some **Disgust** at the squalor and certain behaviors, alongside moments of **Anger** and fleeting **Joy** or **Happiness** during Henry's small triumphs or moments of genuine connection within his unconventional world.
