Blade Runner

59Watch it awake.

They came back to ask for more life, and the speech in the rain is the part to keep.

Pass it on

The review

Hire a man to retire replicants and you have already picked a soft word for killing. They came back to ask their maker for more life. Los Angeles is in permanent rain. The film will not tell you cleanly whether the man with the job is one of them. The tears-in-rain speech is the line to keep, and I would let it play without anyone talking.

Adult. The plea is the part that should bother you: more life, not a riot, and the answer is a contract to end them. Do not turn the rain into a personality. If you watch it, watch the ask and the speech, then stop. A question about whether he is the same kind of person is not a riddle to win at dinner.

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

Consider this

The Empire Strikes Back

71 instead of 59

The Empire Strikes Back is still a science-fiction film, and it scores 71 instead of 59. What you gain is household: The father-revelation is the household catastrophe.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    He is hired to retire them, so the work is killing under a cleaner name.

  2. 4
    Household

    They ask the maker who built them for more life, and get no home.

  3. 6
    Piety

    Ending a person who only asked for time is a conscience problem.

  4. 6
    Courage

    They come back knowing the risk, to ask for a life they will miss.

  5. 5
    Republic

    A city hires him to end them; the law and their plea do not match.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    It does not teach you to want the next retirement; it keeps a farewell.

  7. 7
    Truth

    Whether he is one of them stays open, and the maker owes an answer.

  8. 6
    Stewardship

    More life is not granted; what remains is a speech about what will be lost.

Live historically

Play the tears-in-rain speech once with nobody talking, then stop instead of gaming whether he is one of them.

Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper

Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper

59Watch it awake.

Two girls, one duty. Better than the poster. Still a doll's film.

Pass it on

The review

The pauper works. The princess is being sold into a marriage to save a bankrupt court. The film treats that sale as wrong and the work as honorable, which is more than most pink posters manage. They help each other. The poor girl is not a moral lesson the rich girl consumes.

The songs are candy and the ending is a double wedding. Fine for a child who wants a dress and a plot. Say out loud that a real household is not saved by a secret twin. It is saved by the work the pauper already knew how to do.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

WALL-E

73 instead of 59

WALL-E is still a family film, and it scores 73 instead of 59. What you gain is stewardship: The plant is the charge.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    Sewing, accounts, a kingdom in debt. Work is not the enemy.

  2. 6
    Household

    Marriage is the threat and then the reward. The threat is the interesting part.

  3. 3
    Piety

    No piety. A fairy-tale providence.

  4. 6
    Courage

    Each girl takes the other's risk.

  5. 6
    Republic

    A bankrupt realm is a political fact, not just a ballroom.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    Greed is the villain's, and it is ugly.

  7. 7
    Truth

    The switch reveals character. It does not reward a fraud.

  8. 6
    Stewardship

    A child can leave knowing a dress is not a job.

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.
