If you like these 5 movies, you have an above-average IQ according to AI
The artificial intelligence has chosen a series of feature films associated with a person’s intellectuality, although this is relative.
Cinema is an art that encompasses people and individuals of all kinds and conditions. Heterogeneity is one of its great characteristics, since there are works that are very different from each other and made for different people. For example, there are films that serve to make one relax, while there are also films that require the viewer’s five senses to be well activated. That is why a media outlet in Hungary, Life, has asked artificial intelligence about the five movies made for people with a high IQ. Let’s take a look at them:
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ (1968)
- Director: Stanley Kubrick
- It can be watched on Max
“It requires patience, philosophical openness and visual thinking. The film uses little dialogue, and instead uses images and symbolism to tell the story of human evolution, the role of AI (HAL 9000!), and cosmic meaning [...] You likely to be interested in science, philosophy, and like to ponder the finitude or infinity of the universe,” AI told Life.
‘Primer’ (2004)
- Director: Shane Carruth
- Currently not available on any platform
‘Primer’ makes this list for the following reason according to Life’s AI: “The most realistic time travel film - so much so that it’s almost an engineering study. Characters exist in multiple timelines at once, according to diagrams and physical rules, and the film deliberately doesn’t explain anything.”
‘Synecdoche, New York’ (2008)
- Director: Charlie Kaufman
- Available for rent on Amazon Video, Apple TV, Microsoft Store
“This film is about a director who builds a huge theatre set from the pieces of his life, where he tries to recreate his life. Time, identity and death are not linear here, they are all symbolic and deeply painful,” says the artificial intelligence. In addition, he makes a study of what the viewer he likes is like: “You probably possess great emotional and psychological depths. You can reflect on human existence, on the painful journey of self-discovery.”
‘Arrival’ (2016)
- Director: Denis Villeneuve
- It can be watched at fuboTV, MGM+, and Paramount Plus
Life’s AI concludes that “it is not only science fiction, but also an experiment in linguistic, emotional and temporal philosophy. The protagonist is a linguist trying to communicate with extraterrestrials, while the film suggests that if you change your language, you change your perception of time.”
‘The Double’ (2013)
- Director: Richard Ayoade
- It can be watched on Max
Life concludes its list with ‘The Double’. This is what Artificial Intelligence had to say about it: “A surreal, darkly humorous film set in a claustrophobic world, based on a short novel by Dostoyevsky. The protagonist is driven increasingly mad by the appearance of his own double. The film is full of psychological, social and philosophical references.”
