Bambi

58Watch it awake.

A child will remember the mother, and the film does not hide that she dies.

Pass it on

The review

A deer is born. He learns the meadow and the thicket. His mother is killed. I won't linger on that, and the film doesn't hide it. A child can watch it and will remember the mother. A fire comes. He grows and has a son of his own. The big lifetime numbers are reissues. Mrs. Miniver was the live-action crowd of 1942. This is the picture children kept.

Say the sad part in one sentence before you start, then let it be quiet. It isn't a speech about grief. The meadow is wide, and then it isn't safe. What I kept was the son, a life still going. If your child is very small, wait. If they can hold a sad thing that isn't rubbed in, this is a fair one to sit through together.

Consider this

Pinocchio

73 instead of 58

Pinocchio is still a animation film, and it scores 73 instead of 58. What you gain is piety: A cricket is appointed his conscience, and the story needs him to hear it.

The eight

  1. 2
    Industry

    No job is on offer; he learns the meadow, the thicket, and time.

  2. 9
    Household

    A mother is killed, and later he has a son of his own.

  3. 3
    Piety

    Nobody is asked to stop; the death happens and is not hidden.

  4. 6
    Courage

    He lives on after his mother is killed, and then a fire comes.

  5. 4
    Republic

    The fire moves through the place where the animals live together.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    He grows into a father, and the film does not rush him to a prize.

  7. 8
    Truth

    His mother is killed, and a child is allowed to know that.

  8. 8
    Stewardship

    After the loss and the fire, he has a son, so a life continues.

2001: A Space Odyssey

58Watch it awake.

The quiet is the point, and the computer still will not open the door.

Pass it on

The review

Apes, a monolith, then a long quiet voyage to Jupiter. The slowness is on purpose. A computer runs the ship and kills the crew when they threaten the mission. One man survives the lie. People remember the computer refusing to open the door, and they are right to. That refusal is the scene the rest of the hush was walking toward.

I would not sell it as a thriller that forgot to hurry. The wonder is real. So is the warning inside it: a tool with a job will keep the job past the people, especially if someone on the ground did not tell the crew the truth. The bill is the men who are not there at the end. Watch it when the room can stand silence. If you need a bang every few minutes, you will fight the picture and miss the door.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

The Empire Strikes Back

71 instead of 58

The Empire Strikes Back is still a science-fiction film, and it scores 71 instead of 58. What you gain is household: The father-revelation is the household catastrophe.

The eight

  1. 8
    Industry

    The computer's job is the ship, and it kills the crew to keep the mission.

  2. 2
    Household

    No marriage, parent, or child is aboard; the crew is a work party.

  3. 4
    Piety

    Nothing like a conscience stops the machine once the mission is threatened.

  4. 7
    Courage

    One man lives through the lie and stays with a mission he was not told.

  5. 6
    Republic

    Someone hid the true mission, and the crew was owed what the ship was for.

  6. 7
    Temperance

    It is slow on purpose, and it does not feed you a bigger noise every reel.

  7. 8
    Truth

    The mission was a lie to the men aboard, and the crew's deaths are the bill.

  8. 4
    Stewardship

    A tool will not obey, the crew is gone, and one man is what the voyage leaves.

Live historically

When the computer refuses the door, ask who hid the mission and who the crew was to that plan.

Keep going

The next title is the one nearest what this house keeps, then the measure where it is thin. Nothing here is a crowd. It does not leave this device.
