User: Have you seen anything good lately? IÃ¢ÂÂm looking for good movie recommendations.
Assistant: IÃ¢ÂÂve seen a few recently. What kind of films were you looking for?
User: Something to engage me and that IÃ¢ÂÂll find stimulating or thoughtful.
Assistant: You looking to be entertained or would you mind a bit of thinking during the movie? Because Ã¢ÂÂAd AstraÃ¢ÂÂ is pretty cerebral while Ã¢ÂÂOnce Upon A Time In HollywoodÃ¢ÂÂ is immersive but very entertaining.
User: I donÃ¢ÂÂt mind being challenged but I like seeing something in the characters that relates deeply felt emotions. I like seeing what a movie has to communicate to the audience watching it. Ã¢ÂÂJudyÃ¢ÂÂ I thought said several things about human fragility.
Assistant: So you enjoy being emotionally involved? Because Ã¢ÂÂJudyÃ¢ÂÂ was very intimate.
User: Totally. I donÃ¢ÂÂt mind switching my brain off and being entertained, as long as the film has honest intentions about keeping me engaged. I loved Ã¢ÂÂEndgameÃ¢ÂÂ but Ã¢ÂÂCrazy Rich AsiansÃ¢ÂÂ was completely hollow to me.
Assistant: And you donÃ¢ÂÂt want to feel empty when youÃ¢ÂÂre walking out of the theater I assume?
User: Exactly. I want to feel as though IÃ¢ÂÂve engaged in learning something profound about the human condition. I donÃ¢ÂÂt like nihilistic movies that say nothing, like Ã¢ÂÂHobbs and Shaw.Ã¢ÂÂ
Assistant: I see. When youÃ¢ÂÂre with friends, what do you like to watch when itÃ¢ÂÂs a shared experience?
User: A long as weÃ¢ÂÂre all engaged thatÃ¢ÂÂs the main thing. Ã¢ÂÂIt: Chapter IIÃ¢ÂÂ was scary, but felt overwhelming, like too much was going on. Ã¢ÂÂMidsommarÃ¢ÂÂ, however, was genuinely disturbing, and we felt like we couldnÃ¢ÂÂt get it out of our heads, which generated a lot of discussion.
Assistant: I felt the same way about both. I like a movie that lingers on the mind after youÃ¢ÂÂve seen it.
User: Absolutely, thatÃ¢ÂÂs what IÃ¢ÂÂm looking for: something that will leave an impression after the work itself is over. Have you heard of anything that the critics have enjoyed?
Assistant: Well, Ã¢ÂÂOnce Upon A Time in HollywoodÃ¢ÂÂ has generated a lot of enthusiasm, and so has Ã¢ÂÂHustlersÃ¢ÂÂ, which surprised me considering the subject matter. But both have been widely praised for being canny pieces of filmmaking with something to say.
User: Ã¢ÂÂHustlersÃ¢ÂÂ actually did seem interesting, I might give that a look. Also, Ã¢ÂÂOnce Upon A Time in HollywoodÃ¢ÂÂ intrigues me. IÃ¢ÂÂm very much into that period of America, particularly the cultural setting.
Assistant: IÃ¢ÂÂd say both of those will engage you and keep you talking about them. TheyÃ¢ÂÂre both very interesting and with a moral viewpoint about where the country is heading and where itÃ¢ÂÂs come from.
