         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 identifying an object in the portion of the media content item; and   associating the amount of the sentiment with the identified object.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 identifying a plurality of portions of the media content item associated with the sentiment based on the user input data;   identifying an object included in the plurality of portions of the media content item; and   associating the amount of the sentiment with the identified object.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the sentimental information comprises a video that is generated by combining the plurality of portions of the media content item. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 determining a plurality of amounts of sentiment associated with a plurality of users;   calculating an average amount of sentiment based on the plurality of amounts of sentiment; and   associating the average amount of sentiment with the portion of the media content item.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the indication of the amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input corresponds to an average amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the indication of the amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input corresponds to a maximum amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the user input data further comprises data indicative of a time corresponding to the portion of the media content item. 
     
     
         9 . A system for generating sentimental information associated with media content, the system comprising:
 at least one hardware processor that is configured to:
 receive user input data corresponding to a user, wherein the user input data comprises a sentimental identifier associated with a sentiment input, an indication of an amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input, and a media identifier that identifies a media content item; 
 identify a portion of the media content item based on the user input data; 
 determine a sentiment based on the sentimental identifier, wherein the sentiment is one of a positive sentiment which indicates that the media content item was liked by the user or a negative sentiment which indicates that the media content item was disliked by the user; 
 determine an amount of the sentiment based on the indication of the amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input; 
 associate the amount of the sentiment with the portion of the media content item; and 
 generate, for the media content item, sentimental information that indicates the amount of the sentiment associated with at least one portion of the media content item. 
   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:
 identify an object in the portion of the media content item; and   associate the amount of the sentiment with the identified object.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:
 identify a plurality of portions of the media content item associated with the sentiment based on the user input data;   identify an object included in the plurality of portions of the media content item; and   associate the amount of the sentiment with the identified object.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the sentimental information comprises a video that is generated by combining the plurality of portions of the media content item. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:
 determine a plurality of amounts of sentiment associated with a plurality of users;   calculate an average amount of sentiment based on the plurality of amounts of sentiment; and   associate the average amount of sentiment with the portion of the media content item.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the indication of the amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input corresponds to an average amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the indication of the amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input corresponds to a maximum amount of pressure applied to the sentiment input. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the user input data further comprises data indicative of a time corresponding to the portion of the media content item. 
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for generating sentimental information associated with media content, the method comprising:
