I've posted here before with no considerable traction, something I ascribe to my lacking effort (and interest) in frontend. But here goes: I am a film nerd, and I like to understand the context of art. So I developed an algorithm to find aesthetic and thematic reference points for any given film, based on reviews by critics. It performs reasonably well where expected to (mid-budget, dramas, stuff with artistic ambitions) and less well for very obscure stuff or blockbuster fare. This is obviously not a commercial service, I built it simply to develop my own film literacy.<p>Some examples:<p>http://cinetrii.com?i=tt2278388
(The Grand Budapest Hotel)<p>http://cinetrii.com?i=tt2872718
(Nightcrawler)<p>http://cinetrii.com?i=tt4062536
(Green Room)<p>If you're on desktop you can click the nodes for quotes by critics. Mobile version displays quotes directly.
Because it's an interesting project, it might make sense to repost this as a 'Show HN' link and to add your comment with examples after the link appears on the |new| page.<p>I am curious about the data set and algorithm behind the application.
