AI Takes on My Writing and My Top 3 Movies

I take online courses at AuthorMedia.com by Thomas Umstattd Jr. He created an A.I. program on his .social site for his students that analyzes your three favorite movies, like lickety-split, to reveal the themes from these movies that most likely concern you and appear in your writing.

My Three Favorite Movies:

1. ​Ordinary People (1980) Mary Tyler Moore, Donald Sutherland & Timothy Hutton
2. ​To Sir With Love (1967) Sidney Poitier
3. ​Changing Lanes (2002) Ben Affleck & Samuel L. Jackson

The Reveal

Here’s what A.I. revealed about me, my favorite movies, and my writing. It was pretty spot-on.

1. Ordinary People:
   • Themes: Grief, guilt, mental health, family dynamics, and the struggle for redemption.
   • Psychological Angle: This movie delves deep into the complexities of emotional trauma, personal healing, and the impact of internal and external conflicts within a family.
2. To Sir, With Love:
   • Themes: Education, personal growth, overcoming prejudice, and the transformative power of compassion and respect.
   • Sociological Angle: It highlights societal challenges, the importance of mentorship, and how education and understanding can bridge gaps between different social and cultural backgrounds.
3. Changing Lanes:
   • Themes: Anger, revenge, moral ambiguity, the impact of choices, and the possibility of redemption.
   • Spiritual/Philosophical Angle: This film explores the moral dilemmas people face, the consequences of their actions, and the potential for personal transformation and forgiveness.

Conclusion

This analysis was interesting from a discipleship ministry perspective, which I’ve been involved with for more than 30 years. It does reflect the stories I’m working on, which I look forward to sharing with you. The report included other details, but the conclusion read:

I certainly hope so.
