Brand maintenance with a funeral in it. The craft is professional. The reason is thin.

The review

There is a real public question under the tux: who watches the watchers when every camera is one system. The film picks the question up and sets it down for a childhood grievance that makes a franchise feel like a family saga. It is not a family saga. It is a product arranging its villains into one line.

Adults who like the craft can see the craft. Do not call it serious because it is gloomy. Gloom is cheap. The question about the cameras was the part worth keeping, and they spent it.

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

Consider this

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

46 instead of 35

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is still a action film, and it scores 46 instead of 35. What you gain is household: The promise of the character is that he has a home.

The eight

  1. 5
    Industry

    The set pieces are built by people who know the job.

  2. 3
    Household

    A woman is folded into his story. The marriage, if it is one, is an ending they assert.

  3. 2
    Piety

    No creed beyond the license.

  4. 5
    Courage

    He walks into the enemy's house.

  5. 4
    Republic

    A state surveillance plot is the grown idea, and it is sketched.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    The bodies are elegant and frequent.

  7. 3
    Truth

    A secret brother is a retcon. The film knows it is arranging furniture.

  8. 3
    Stewardship

    What he might leave is a service with limits. The picture leaves a title.

A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange

The cure is a theft, and the film still lingers on the crimes it claims to hate.

The review

He is caught after leading beatings and rape, and the state calls what follows a cure. They condition him until the wish to do harm makes him sick. He can no longer choose. The film hates that cure, and on this one point I agree. Forced goodness is not goodness. A reflex is not a conscience. A man who cannot choose has not been restored to anything.

Do not give it the evening anyway. It shows the crimes, and plenty of people came for the showing. Adult. Leave the assaults undescribed, and do not dare a friend into the seat. The honest scrap is the bill on the treatment. Everything before that scrap dresses up the ruin. You can refuse the showing and still keep the point about choice.

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

Consider this

The Godfather Part II

46 instead of 35

The Godfather Part II is still a crime film, and it scores 46 instead of 35. What you gain is industry: An immigrant's labor, then a crime that calls itself a business.

The eight

  1. 3
    Industry

    The treatment is a procedure done to him, and that procedure is a harm.

  2. 2
    Household

    No spouse, parent, or child is the life this story is built around.

  3. 5
    Piety

    It asks if a man who cannot choose still has anything you could call conscience.

  4. 3
    Courage

    He suffers a treatment; he never risks something he loves for somebody else.

  5. 4
    Republic

    The law catches him, then takes his will instead of leaving him able to answer.

  6. 2
    Temperance

    The crimes are shown at length, and a lot of the audience came for that.

  7. 7
    Truth

    The cure is a lie with a bill: he complies only because he cannot choose.

  8. 2
    Stewardship

    Nothing worth keeping remains, only a man emptied out and the crimes shown.

Keep going

The next title is the one nearest what this house keeps, then the measure where it is thin. Nothing here is a crowd. It does not leave this device.
