Recommendations please: four new emotions

Post by redfuse »

Hi all,

As a continuation of the previous topics (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3601), which yielded very interesting results, could I ask you once more to consider four other emotions?

For a university project I'm trying to find movie scenes in which one (or more) of the characters clearly expresses a specific emotion. It's about the following emotions. I included the definition of the emotion as it is used in our study.

Astonishment
To experience being briefly overwhelmed by the nature or unexpectedness of a negative event.

Confusion
To experience mental disorder caused by unclear or incongruous information.

Indifference
To experience feeling no concern, favor or interest about something (or in general).

Boredom
To experience a listless or restless feeling caused by a lack of stimulation or interest.


So I'm looking for scenes where a character is experiencing one (not all) of these emotions.

Any recommendations are very welcome! Thanks in advance!

Youtube is pretty light on the clips for Office Space but that would be a good place to start for all of those especially boredom and indifference.

The first topic was one thing, but after the second and now the third one, I find it amusing that so many people are perfectly willing to complete a student's homework for him.

I'm just assuming finding the clips is the lesser part of the homework because if his project is "here's the definition of an emotion, provide an example in the form of a movie clip" then he probably should kill himself for wasting time with the most useless schooling I've ever heard of. And if that is the assignment and he doesn't have the spine to kill himself I'd be willing to help him through the mindless tedium his life has become because I like movie clips.

I do it purely because I find the exercise fun. I might help him out a bit later for your amusement.

You should be the one getting a degree from the university, not him. :)
