ANGER:

The first emotion I wish to start collecting information about is ANGER.
How does Anger comes across in films? How does anger/frustration affect, for instance aesthetic, style and mise-en scene of a film?

A year later...Starting again...from the beginning:

My starting point this time is to clarify why this blog.

This blog is mostly an homage to the primary reactions we experience when we sit in a cinema theater being astonished, disgusted, intrigued, horrified etc. with the images projected on the silver screen. It is an homage to our tears and laughter and to all the outer and inner emotions that often are mixed together with the one of others sharing the magnificence of a cinematic screen, to form an emotional orchestra of reactions.

This blog hopes to develop and host in time insights on how are emotions associated to cinematic viewing. I hope to collect (with the help of a generous academic, and non academic community), scholarly articles, footage, reports, pictures on cinematic/filmic reactions.

The question here, is how can we begin talking about emotions in cinema and films? And how do they mean in our cinematic experience?
