59Watch it awake.

The troupe has a code, and this is not a picture to put on as a dare.

Pass it on

The review

Do not put this on as a dare. I would think less of the person who asked me to. A trapeze artist marries a little person in the circus because she wants his money. The other performers see it. Real sideshow workers play the troupe. Browning. A scandal, not a hit. The studio buried it.

Adults, and only if we are clear why. The revenge is ugly, so I am not describing it. The performers are people with a code, and that is the sentence I will actually say. The marriage is a grab. If we watch, we watch because those workers were real, not to find out who can stand the picture. Pulled is not a recommendation.

Journal

Keep Freaks in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 59. Yours can differ.

The glance

Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?

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

Consider this

The Exorcist

68 instead of 59

The Exorcist is still a horror film, and it scores 68 instead of 59. What you gain is household: A mother will not hand her daughter over as a lost cause.

The eight

7
Industry
Real sideshow workers play the troupe, so the job is not a costume.
5
Household
She marries a little person for his money, and the troupe sees it.
7
Piety
The performers keep a code and see the marriage for what it is.
6
Courage
He marries, and the money she wants is what he stands to lose.
6
Republic
The troupe owes its own code; the studio answered by pulling it.
4
Temperance
She wants his money, and the picture is not a dare to want more.
8
Truth
The wedding is a lie about love, and the other performers know.
4
Stewardship
It was buried, not a hit; the code is what ought to remain.

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.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

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.
