Hello, I am looking for a movie. Not sure what is out right now.
I would love to help. What do you like when viewing a film?
I enjoy strong, relatable characters. If the actors are phoning it in for a paycheck, I will spend the entire time thinking about punching them in the face.
You are in luck, there are two films out right now that well liked, and respected lead characters.
Excellent. I am not wanting to feel sad at the end of the movie. I need a happy ending, do these two films have that?
Of course! The other films available have actors with less than stellar reviews from the critics from their lackluster performances. I immediately eliminated those for you.
Great. Thank you. For this experience, I will be attending the film with a friend. They do not like to view films with unrealistic situations. They do not have the imagination to handle it, haha.
What a buzzkill! Just kidding. Lucky for you, both the movies I am thinking of have realistic plots. They would not be disappointed.
What about the critics? What do they have to say about these movies?
Ah the critics. For film A, they give it 4/5 stars saying the acting is superb but there are slight inconsistencies with relationship between the the main character (whom you will love!) and their broody love interest. Critics claim the chemistry is lacking and at times their relationship seems trite at some points.
Hmmm. What about film B?
Film B has 5/5 stars. The entire cast works well to bring the story to life. Period costumes are stunning and the team took extensive courses to ensure all vernacular, movements, and sets were authentic.
I wonder about the run time of each film. Could you get that information for me?
Film A clocks in at 147 minutes while Film B is comparable at 164. Remember, these times do include credits. In my research, no critic mentioned the plot being stretched out or rushed for either film.
Great! Thank you for all your help.
You are very welcome. If I could add one more thing, since your friend does not enjoy unrealistic situations, I would err on the side of caution of opt for Film B. Much more realistic for your friend but has the relatability component that you need to enjoy yourself. Whatever film you do pick, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for letting me assist you today. Have a great evening!
