I am looking for a good movie to watch. I generally like horror movies and medieval movies. I am particular about each though.
Let's start with horror movies. What are you particular about?
I do not like horror movies where the plot makes no sense and there is too much symbolism. I hated Hereditary, because I had no clue what was going on and nothing was explained. I don't like to feel confused unless it is a David Lynch film.
Alright. What do you like about horror movies?
I like horror movies that have a coherent plot and are scary. I really like he movie High Tension. It had me on the edge of my seat for the duration. My friends also like these kinds of foreign horror movies. Ever since I was a kid, I loved seeing scary movies. They were thrilling, and I felt like I was conquering my fears.
Ok, I have a whole list of foreign horror movies I can suggest. Have you seen Martyrs or Inside?
I have already seen Martyrs. Great film. I have not heard of Inside. I will consider that one.
OK. As far as medieval movies, what do you like about those?
I just like anything with knights and swords in it. I always liked those sorts of things when I was growing up. I like the feeling of being in a world that happened long ago. I like the realism, but I also like to escape to a different time. It makes me feel as if I am a part of history.
And what do you dislike about medieval movies?
I really only like serious ones. I don't like too much comedy in my medieval movies. Your Highness was too goofy. A Knight's Tale was the right mix of funny and serious, but I tend to love the darker ones like Kingdom of Heaven, Braveheart, and Gladiator.
Excellent. It seems like you enjoy historical epics. I found a few that you may want to check out: Rob Roy, Master and Commander, Spartacus, and Alexander.
I have already seen Alexander and did not like it because it was very long and not much happened. I do not like movies like Master and Commander. I adored the series Black Sails, but movies with boats do not interest me because they tend to be boring. I am not sure of Rob Roy or Spartacus. I like to see what critics say. Leonard Maltin is one of my favorites. Which one does he say is better?
Leonard Maltin liked both films, and scored them similarly. However, most critics have rated Spartacus higher.
I like the idea of Spartacus. I like highly rated historical movies. Even though it isn't knights and swords, the Romans were basically the knights of their era.
We have narrowed it down to Inside, a horror movie, and Spartacus, a historical epic. Which one do you feel in the mood for?
I like both of them, but I am in a very adventurous mood right now. I would rather feel like I was traveling back through time on an adventure than be scared. I think I will pick Spartacus.
Great. I will get the movie ready for you as we speak. Are there any more questions?
I know the movie is a long one, and I have to head out later today. How long is it?
Spartacus is three hours and eighteen minutes long. Will that work for you?
That will leave me enough time to watch the movie and get dressed for my meeting. Thanks.
Glad to help. Have a great day.
