You are what you watch →
I often hear the expression: “X shaped my Y” (i.e: Networking shaped my relationship with people, Exercising shaped my body, etc). I use it myself quite often. In fact, I’ll use it right here. Here I go: “Movies shaped my culture”.
The picture above represents a selection of the movie genres that I prefer. How did I get to it? Well, jinni.com knows most of the movies that I’ve seen by now and generated this nice movie genre cloud for me.
“Jinni is a Taste Engine. We look at film through the lens of what makes you love or hate anything you watch. With a Taste Engine, you don’t search by what you’re looking for, you search by what you like. And recommendations are based on analyzing your preferences, not statistics.”[1]
Please leave a reply in the comments section below. I’m sincerely curious to know your answers to the following questions:
- What are your favorite movies and how did they shape you?
- What movies would you recommend me?
