Question 01 of 10TONE

01
What kind of film experience are you really after?
The best movies do not just entertain. They leave something behind.

ASomething that pulls the rug out, that makes me think I am watching one kind of film and then reveals I am watching another entirely.
BSomething overwhelming: funny, sad, absurd and genuinely moving, all at once.
CSomething grand and weighty, a film that makes me feel the full scale of what I am watching.
DSomething formally daring, a film that pushes what cinema can even do.
ESomething lean and relentless, pure tension with no wasted frame.

Question 02 of 10THEME

02
Which idea grabs you most in a film?
Great films are driven by a central obsession. What is yours?

AClass, inequality, and what people are willing to do when desperation meets opportunity.
BIdentity, family, and the chaos of holding your life together while everything falls apart.
CGenius, moral responsibility, and the catastrophic weight of a decision you can never take back.
DEgo, legacy, and the terror of becoming irrelevant while you are still alive to watch it happen.
EEvil, chance, and whether moral order exists at all or we just tell ourselves it does.

Question 03 of 10STRUCTURE

03
How do you like your story told?
Form is content. The way a story is shaped changes what it means.

AGenre-twisting. I want it to start in one lane and migrate into something completely different.
BMaximalist and genre-blending: comedy, action, drama and sci-fi in one ride.
CEpic and non-linear, cutting between timelines to build a mosaic of cause and consequence.
DA single unbroken flow. I want to feel like I am living it in real time with no cuts to safety.
ESpare and precise, every scene doing exactly what it needs to do and nothing more.

Question 04 of 10VILLAIN

04
What makes a truly great antagonist?
The opposition defines the protagonist. What kind of opposition fascinates you?

AA system: invisible, structural, and almost impossible to fight because it has no single face.
BThe self, and the ways we sabotage, abandon and fail the people we love most.
CHistory, and the unstoppable momentum of events no single person can stop or redirect.
DThe industry, the machinery of culture that chews up talent and spits out irrelevance.
EPure, implacable evil, a force so certain of itself it becomes almost philosophical.

Question 05 of 10ENDING

05
What do you want from a film’s ending?
The final note is the one that lingers. What do you want it to sound like?

AShock and inevitability, a conclusion that recontextualizes everything before it.
BEarned emotion. I want to cry, laugh and feel hopeful, even if the world is a mess.
CDevastation and grandeur, an ending that leaves me sitting in silence for a few minutes.
DAmbiguity, something open enough that I am still turning it over days later.
EBleakness, an honest refusal to pretend the world is tidier than it is.

Question 06 of 10WORLD

06
Which setting pulls you in most?
Where a film takes place shapes everything: mood, stakes, what is even possible.

AA gleaming modern city with a hidden underside, beauty masking rot and wealth masking desperation.
BA collapsing suburban life that opens onto something infinite, the multiverse inside one ordinary person.
CThe corridors of power and science at a world-historical turning point, where decisions echo for decades.
DThe grimy, alive chaos of New York and Hollywood, fame as both destination and trap.
EVast, indifferent landscape, desert and highway where violence arrives without warning or reason.

Question 07 of 10CRAFT

07
What cinematic craft impresses you most?
Every great film has a signature, the element that makes it unmistakable.

AProduction design and mise-en-scène, every frame composed to carry meaning beneath the surface.
BEditing and tonal control, the ability to move between registers without losing the audience.
CScore and sound design, music that becomes inseparable from the dread and awe of what you see.
DCinematography as performance, the camera not recording events but taking part in them.
ESilence and restraint, what is left unsaid doing more work than any dialogue could.

Question 08 of 10PROTAGONIST

08
What kind of main character do you root for?
The protagonist is the lens. Who you follow says something about you.

ASomeone smart and resourceful who makes increasingly dangerous decisions under pressure.
BSomeone overwhelmed and ordinary who turns out to be capable of something extraordinary.
CA brilliant, tortured figure whose gifts and flaws cannot be separated from each other.
DA self-destructive artist whose ego is both their superpower and their undoing.
EA quiet, principled person trying to make sense of a world that has stopped making sense.

Question 09 of 10PACE

09
How do you feel about a film that takes its time?
Pace is a choice. Some films sprint. Others let tension accumulate slowly, deliberately.

AI love a slow build when the payoff is going to be seismic. Patience for a devastating reveal.
BGive me relentless momentum. I want to feel breathless and emotionally spent by the end.
CEpic runtime does not scare me. If the material demands three hours, give me three hours.
DI want it propulsive even when nothing is technically happening, restless energy throughout.
EDeliberate and unhurried. I want dread to accumulate in the spaces between the action.

Question 10 of 10AFTERMATH

10
What do you want to feel walking out of the cinema?
The best films leave a mark. What kind of mark do you want?

AUnsettled, like I have just seen something I cannot fully explain and cannot stop thinking about.
BMoved and energized, like the film reminded me what matters and gave me something to hold onto.
CHumbled, like I have been in the presence of something important and overwhelming.
DExhilarated, like I have just watched cinema do something it has never quite done before.
EHaunted, like a cold, quiet dread that stays with me for days.
