The review

People call this the wonder film, and the wonder is really there. A lineman sees lights and cannot let the shape go. He builds it until the kitchen and the marriage are wrecked. A mother's child is taken. The government has a site. Then he walks onto the ship and leaves his family. Both things are in the picture. Do not keep only one.

I like the lights. I will not clap a man aboard who spent a wife to get there. He had a job. He had a house. The other mother had a child. If you watch it, sit with the leaving before you call the ending beautiful. Wonder that needs a father to vanish is not something you pass to a family without saying who is left in the kitchen.

Keep Close Encounters of the Third Kind in the record.

Live Historic number 38. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Planet of the Apes

51 instead of 38

Planet of the Apes is still a science-fiction film, and it scores 51 instead of 38. What you gain is truth: The statue tells the truth the cage was hiding: this ruin is our own.

The eight

5
Industry
He is a lineman, and he leaves the work to build a shape.
3
Household
He wrecks the marriage and walks onto the ship, leaving his family.
3
Piety
Wonder does not stop him; conscience never gets a vote over the lights.
4
Courage
He risks the house, then spends it, which is not the same as keeping faith.
6
Republic
The government has a site while a mother's child is taken.
2
Temperance
He cannot let the shape go, and the film does not make him stop.
5
Truth
The lights are real, and so is the government quiet about the site.
2
Stewardship
He leaves. The kitchen, the wife, and another mother's child stay behind.

Anchors Aweigh

The mouse is the souvenir, and the navy is just the costume that year felt like wearing.

The review

Two sailors on leave in Hollywood, and one of them helps a boy who wants into the navy. Gene Kelly dances with a cartoon mouse. Frank Sinatra sings. A child can watch most of it. I let ours stay for the mouse, and I was right about the part they repeated later. The mouse dance is the souvenir. The rest is 1945 dressing itself up as a sailor.

The navy here is a romance, not the work. Leave is not a ship. A boy wanting in is the nearest thing to a life, and even that gets sung past. Put it on when you want bright and no argument. Tell the child the dance is the souvenir. Don't tell them the service is a cartoon.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

The Jazz Singer

50 instead of 38

The Jazz Singer is still a musical film, and it scores 50 instead of 38. What you gain is piety: He comes back for the prayer, then still gives the audience the songs.
