I asked ChatGPT to give me a film that would make me sad but also happy and it told me to watch this. It was a good recommendation but I found it hard to get over how weird the concept was.
I had been meaning to watch this as it’s a Ryan Gosling film, but was put off by the concept, decided this time to trust ChatGPT.
It was weird, it was a little wholesome, lars is a nice guy and an interesting character, and it’s really sweet to see what all the town do to accommodate him, though very unrealistic as in real life he wouldn’t have been able to push it anywhere near that far.
It was nice tho and a good film, the doll thing was weird, but handled well.
7.0/10
As ChatGPT said
“Overall, "Lars and the Real Girl" is a unique and heartfelt film that should leave you with a sense of comfort and hope, making it a good choice for your current mood.”
I’m just gonna tell it my mood from now on and get it to give me a film to match it. Sometimes it’s hard to find a film that suits what mood you’re in and what time of day it is. This film was a good recommendation.
