The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

55Watch it awake.

The volunteer is the moral event. The game is the product. Not for a child.

Pass it on

The review

The first chapter is a girl who hunts and loves her sister. That girl is worth meeting. Then the film does what the Capitol does: it puts children in a show and asks you to care who is skillful. You will care. Caring is not a defense.

An older teen can name the trap. A younger one will practice the arena. This is the picture, not the book on the shelf beside it, and it does not get a kinder number because the novel already sits in the house. Same charge. The volunteer is real. The game is not a gift.

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

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

Consider this

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

68 instead of 55

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is still a adventure film, and it scores 68 instead of 55. What you gain is stewardship: They hand the future to people who will never know their names.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    She feeds a family with a bow before the story ever reaches the arena.

  2. 8
    Household

    She takes her sister's place. That is the scene the rest of the film spends.

  3. 2
    Piety

    The Capitol has rites and no reverence. The cameras are the god.

  4. 8
    Courage

    She volunteers, then has to survive a system designed to film her death.

  5. 5
    Republic

    The districts are a public. The Capitol is a state that teaches with children.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    The film indicts the spectacle and is a spectacle.

  7. 6
    Truth

    She knows the pageantry is a lie. She performs it only as far as her life requires.

  8. 5
    Stewardship

    What she wants is her sister alive. The series will spend that want.

Live historically

If a teen watches it, watch the first killing with them and ask who the shot was for.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

A Nightmare on Elm Street

55Watch it awake.

The first one is a parents' secret and a girl who will not sleep. The sequels sold the joke.

Pass it on

The review

People know the glove and the joke. That came later. This one is a dead killer in dreams, a street of parents who share a secret about how he died, and a girl who has to stay awake. The sequels turned him into a punchline. The first film is still the adults' lie.

Not for children. If a teenager is going to meet it anyway, put the secret in front of the monster. Sleep is the ordinary thing she would like to have, and she gives it up because the block will not say what it did. I would rather a house remember a girl who will not lie down on that pact than remember a quip. Leave the later ones off.

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

Alien

66 instead of 55

Alien is still a horror film, and it scores 66 instead of 55. What you gain is industry: A towing crew with ranks and a quarantine rule, and the job is the plot.

The eight

  1. 2
    Industry

    Staying awake is survival here, not a job anyone is paid to do.

  2. 7
    Household

    Parents share a secret, and their children are the ones who pay.

  3. 6
    Piety

    The adults buried how he died, and a girl refuses to sleep through it.

  4. 8
    Courage

    She gives up sleep, the thing a person would miss by morning.

  5. 7
    Republic

    A whole street of parents owes the truth and keeps a pact instead.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    Later films turned him into a joke people wanted to see again.

  7. 8
    Truth

    The parents' secret is the bill that arrives in the children's dreams.

  8. 3
    Stewardship

    What the sequels passed along was a killer people learned to laugh at.
