A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Do you think I would like that?
Do you like Tom Hanks?
I love Tom Hanks. But I think this movie night make me sad. I don't like being sad after I see a movie.
Why would this movie make you sad?
Because, I remember watching Mr. Rodgers as a kid and I know how good he was. It would make me sad because it might make relive my childhood and to think that he is dead would just make sad.
That is understandable. What does not make you sad?
Murder mysteries. I love murder mystery. I am a big Agatha Christie fan.
You might enjoy the film Knives Out.
That is what I was thinking. When I saw the trailer it gave me a Christie/Hitchcock vibe. I love whodunit films. They keep me thinking. I try to figure out the outcome before it's revealed and I get a kind of high if I am right. But, if I am wrong, it's still fun, because I go back over it, in my mind, to see what I missed.
That appears to be the choice for you, then.
Well, not so fast. Are there any historical flicks out?
There is the film "Harriet" and "Midway" . The first film is about the American hero Harriet Tubmam. The second is about the Battle of Midway during World War Two.
Oh yeah. I heard about those. I am in to history. Whenever I watch a historical film I think about what if things had happened differently. Like what if Harriet Tubman had not escaped. Or, what if the Japanese had won Midway. Things would have been different. Which would you prefer?
It depends on how you weigh Action versus Drama. Do you prefer battle scenes or the drama of escape?
I enjoy both. But, battle scenes can all look the same and then I measure them against the best battle scenes I have scene. It's like nothing can too the Battle of the Bastards from Game Of Thrones. But when I see a film about people escaping I am always kind of pumped up. I'm on the edge of my seat, rooting for them to get away.
Then it seems like "Harriet" would be your choice.
That might be it. But I might be in the mood for some escapism. Something just for fun.
Ford v Ferrari might be something you like.
That's a true. It's for two great actors, some history and it looks like fun. I,'he never not liked a film about cars. Just the sound of the engines coming through the movie speakers gives me a kick. Films like that give you the ultimate adrenaline rush.
"Read Between The Lies" features two accomplished actors, Helen Morden and Ian McKellen.
That's right. I heard about that. That trailer also gave me a Hitchcockian vibe. I love a film that has two top actors going at.
Well, it looks like you have several good choices from which to choose.
