Movies and Mood
How do movies evoke mood responses in viewers? What role do mood responses play in a viewer’s overall experience of a film? My paper will address these questions and will compare mood responses to narrative fiction film to mood responses in ordinary life. I will suggest that the case of “movie mood” can help us to understand features of emotional experience in general that have gone underappreciated by philosophers and psychologists.
