Are they asking for us to tell a story given the post? Are they asking for what the movie is that they’re thinking of?
It's pretty clearly meant to be "Can you recommend a movie with a female lead that protects a weak adult male?" With the clarification of "physical or emotional protection"
I don’t know how you extrapolated “recommend a movie”.
I would interpret it as “I’m trying to remember a movie”.
Clearly.
People ask for media recommendations in this community all the time, it's one of the most common things to ask.
The context of "physical or emotional protection" heavily implies an open ended question to which the OP expected people to respond with media titles fitting their description. If they were trying to remember a movie they would probably describe the movie instead of clarifying the scope of their description.
Also, maybe just downvote and move on instead of snarkily saying they should have asked AI instead.
Wasn’t implying they should use AI.
The next guy should ask AI tho. Y’all bickering made me curious so I asked AI. Grok used this page as one of its sources, and summarized it. lol
From what I can tell, they aren’t even asking a question
A movie with.... Ffs how hard is that to tell??
