Shane

Keep it. The gun is put down and then, sadly, picked up for a weaker neighbor. Older children.

Shane wants a farm life he is not clean enough to keep. The homesteaders want to stay, which is the right want: a valley with cabins is better than a valley with one man's cattle. Ryker is not a misunderstood entrepreneur. He is a man who thinks prior force is a deed. The boy worships the gunfighter, and the film is uneasy about that worship, which is why the farewell hurts. Do not ride after him in your mind. Stay with the people who will plant.

Finding Nemo

Keep it. Love that will not let go must learn to let the child swim.

Marlin's grief is not a joke, and his overprotection is not a mystery. The film understands both. Dory's forgetfulness is played for laughs and then revealed as a form of faithfulness: she keeps the errand when she cannot keep the facts. Nemo is not cargo. The last act works because the boy has to do the dangerous thing himself while the father trusts him.

A family that has been scared can watch this and talk about the difference between care and a grip. The ocean is big. The promise is not that it is safe. The promise is that you go.
