Answer:

Empathy

Mirror neurons

Step-by-step explanation:

Empathy is the ability of person to understand another person's feelings from the perspective of the other person.

Mirror neurons are the neurons that fire when the observer organism does the same action done by the organism being observed.

Here, we feel the same things that the character in the movie is feeling because of our ability to empathize.

Our ability to empathize stems from our mirror neurons when we see a person is sad it is biological that even we feel sad.
