“Do you have any recommendations for good shows or movies?” I can’t begin to tell you how much I love getting this question. I would call myself a self-proclaimed “film buff” if everyone else didn’t proclaim it on my behalf. Not trying to brag or anything, of course, I just love introducing people to stories that they may have otherwise not been aware of. The themes of these stories in films and series are really what drives my recommendations. It’s easy enough to say something like “Hey! You liked ‘Shrek’? Well, here’s ‘Shrek 2’”. But for me, it’s not as much about recommending something with the same kinds of stories or that share the same actors. I appreciate finding human connections that I can see others relating to. I like to identify the themes that really made the show or movie stand out to me and see if I’m aware of any other series or films that may share similar thematic elements, even if they may not share the same medium or even genre. One recent standout example for me that I wasn’t expecting to feel as much human emotion with came from a story where the main characters are primarily superhuman.
