Hi there. I’m looking for a good movie to watch with my son. Any recommendations?
I might have a few. What are you two in the mood for?
Well, I’m looking for something where we’ll written characters drive a good story forward. I’m looking to be involved in a story and not hit over the head with effects and trickery.
I see. So more grown up stuff and no big budget extravaganzas or movies with a lot of CGI?
Not today. I like those movies but today I don’t want loud. I want thoughtful. I want my son to see something a little more mature.
Got it. Would you be interested in “Doctor Sleep?”
We’re actually both big fans of “The Shining” but I was waiting until the end of the week to go. My son wants to take a few friends along to see it.
Ok. How about “Motherless Brooklyn?” That was quite good.
Yes, I’ve heard many good things about that one,me specially from a couple of critics I respect. Isn’t that set in the forties or fifties?
Yes, New York in the fifties.
I would like my son to see what America looked like a few decades ago for historical perspective. Is there anything else set in the fifties or sixties?
How about “Ford vs. Ferrari?” That’s set during the sixties and it has the added element of auto racing for excitement.
I’ve actually heard some terrific things about that movie, especially the performances.
Yes, Christian Bale and Matt Damon are really good in that.
Well, it’s set in the sixties, has fast cars and good performers in it,and I’ve heard plenty of good things about it. I think that’s our winner for today.
Sounds great. I hope you two enjoy the show. Tell me how you like it.
I absolutely will. Thanks for your help.
No problem at all.
