is there any word in the english language that can describe something that brought peoples' emotions up, or something that was very clever and steered their emotions?
thanks in advance,

A good example of how language changes to suit popular culture:
- concider the term "terrific".
This term is derived from the word "terrify", which denotes a certain negative connotation reguarding any emotional responce. In other words, an American "horror film". However, Americans became as used to horror on the screen as Romans became famaliar with it in the Caloseum, and hence, "terrific" was now synomonous with "exciting".
I'm sure Calligula would agree...

Provocation, stimulation, invigoration, incitement, aggravation, arousal, excite, animation, vivification, vivacious, vibrant, etc.
(Select the word depending on the context.)

Evocative works.
