I don't know this movie but you can try it out by uploading the movies srt file.

Brazil is a dystopian satire. I would wager that GP is asking about scenarios where there is significant ambiguity and/or situational/verbal irony.

I just gave it a try: https://www.crealdo.com/story/movie-sentiment/movies/30 Never seen the movie so I can't judge myself.

OP here! I was watching the Stanford NLP classes a while back ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiNErZ5Bus8qNxNsFZFkh... ) and ended up trying the part about sentiment analysis on srt files. The way it works right is quite primitive but you can still see some "trends" on most movies. If there are any suggestions on how I could make this smarter I would love to hear them!

has anyone tried opensubtitles.org

just found it on google

Nah, it's fine, it tries to push you their downloader, but if you avoid the pitfalls the content is good. I've used it many times over the years.

Just sometimes, because is the only place that has subtitles for some old movies. But I personally prefer Subscene.com.

Maybe you could use RNNs to do the sentiment analysis, either Recurrent or Recursive Neural Networks. Some sample code is available in the book "Tensorflow for machine intelligence" in github.

Interesting project, horrible presentation.

The colour gradient on the graph is confusing - does green mean happy, blue unhappy, and the movie changes tone over time? Axes of the graph are not labeled, what are we looking at? But, those concerns are secondary.

Bar graph seems a poor choice here, given the nature of the data. Given that there doesn't seem to be any correlation with time, the order of phrases doesn't seem important -- you could forgo the linear presentation, and display the distribution of the data instead.

For example, you could bucket the sentiment values (-3 to -2, -2 to -1, etc) and use a histogram to show the counts in each bucket. This would enable you to compare different movies (one histogram per movie).
