Colony

Colony

45Watch it awake.

Thin occupation setup: dad takes the invaders' wage so his wife and kids stay alive, and the neighbors take the hit. Moral bill stays half-drawn.

Pass it on

The review

Occupied Los Angeles. A former agent takes the invaders' wage so his wife and three kids stay breathing; some neighbors collaborate, others resist. That's the whole board so far—no thicker story shows up, and the thinness is plain.

What holds is the household. Marriage and the kids sit in the middle of every choice. You're left weighing safety bought by hunting your own against what that does to a conscience while the occupation lasts.

Journal

Keep Colony in the record.

Live Historic number 45. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth are the thin ones.

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

Blade Runner 2049

59 instead of 45

Blade Runner 2049 is still a drama film, and it scores 59 instead of 45. What you gain is truth: The lie he was living — that he was the child — is taken from him, and he accepts the fact.

The eight

  1. 4
    Industry

    The job on offer is hunting neighbors for an occupying power—wage, not craft.

  2. 8
    Household

    Marriage, three kids, and the home sit as the real stake in every hard choice.

  3. 4
    Piety

    Conscience shows as strain under collaboration, not a hard stop.

  4. 5
    Courage

    Costly bravery sits more with the resisters than with the father spending integrity.

  5. 3
    Republic

    Duty to neighbors is the first thing the collaboration bargain sells.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    Keeping the family breathing outruns any check on what that will accept.

  7. 3
    Truth

    Deceit is the job; the bill lands inside the family the lies were meant to save.

  8. 6
    Stewardship

    The kids are the stated reason, yet the city left may be only a colony of fear.

A Minecraft Movie

45Watch it awake.

The craft is the good idea. The joke is louder than the craft. Children will come anyway.

Pass it on

The review

A game about placing blocks is one of the few popular games that is secretly about work. The film knows that for a few minutes at a time, and then it remembers it is a brand and starts shouting. Children went in enormous numbers. The number of tickets is not the measure. The measure is whether they come home wanting to make something or wanting the next joke.

Watch it with them if they are going anyway. Afterwards put a real material in their hands — paper, wood, dough — and build one thing that is not a reference. That is the part the film kept dropping.

Home

58 instead of 45

Home is still a adventure film, and it scores 58 instead of 45. What you gain is household: The whole plot is a daughter retrieving her mother.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    The rule of the world is making: a shelter, a tool, a light. That is a true rule.

  2. 4
    Household

    A band of misfits. Not a house, and not cruel to one.

  3. 2
    Piety

    Night is a mechanic. No reverence, no thanks for the material.

  4. 6
    Courage

    They have to keep building while something is at the door.

  5. 3
    Republic

    No town. A sandbox and a villain.

  6. 4
    Temperance

    The gags keep stepping on the work. The film is proud of the noise.

  7. 5
    Truth

    It is honest that it is a game you already know. It does not pretend to be a scripture.

  8. 5
    Stewardship

    What a child might take is the pleasure of making a thing that stands. Guard that, and lose the rest.
