Reason and Emotion is a 1943 American animated propaganda film directed by Bill Roberts .
action
The film deals with the relationship between reason (reason) and feeling (emotion). A toddler is guided only by feeling, pulls the cat by the tail and falls down a flight of stairs and cries. In the adult man, on the other hand, mind and feeling in the brain fight a constant duel, with the mind usually taking the lead. The mind, depicted with a tie, nickel glasses and a suit, lets the man walk past a beautiful woman, while the feeling, sitting next to the mind as an unshaven caveman, counters the woman with an uncharacteristic saying and has to accept a slap in the face. In the woman, on the other hand, the elderly governess mind takes care of the diet, while the provocative, deeply cleaved feeling wants to consume all ice creams and fatty foods and sees the result on the scales.
The film now looks at the relationship between understanding and feeling in Nazi Germany. Mind is there and tries to act, but is held in check by the overwhelming feeling, since Adolf Hitler , too, appeals exclusively to the feeling of the German with his theatrical speeches between fear, ingratiation, pride and hate. The narrator therefore calls for feeling and intellect to form a solid unit in the Americans and for intellect not to allow itself to be suppressed by feeling, for example by terrible news brought in from the front. Mind and emotion are shown sitting side by side in uniform in the American brain. Airplanes soar in the sky, God Save the Queen sounds.
