45Watch it awake.

The shoe and the rolls get the laughs, and he still doesn't come home rich.

Pass it on

The review

The tramp is starving in the Yukon, in love with a dance-hall girl who does not see him. The shoe and the rolls are the public bits people still mention. A house can watch it. Hunger is the joke and the wound. Chaplin had a large hit in 1925, and it still sat behind The Big Parade and Ben-Hur. That ranking is not a reason to treat the hunger as cute.

He is not a prospector who strikes it rich in any lasting way. The laughs can make the camp feel lighter than the hunger is. He wants a girl who is not looking at him, and he wants a meal. The gold in the title is the rumor that brought men north. It is not an ending he gets to keep.

Keep The Gold Rush in the record.

Live Historic number 45. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Republic and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

You Can't Take It with You

56 instead of 45

You Can't Take It with You is still a comedy film, and it scores 56 instead of 45. What you gain is household: A grandfather, a granddaughter, and a full house are the life on screen.

The eight

4
Industry
He is not a prospector who strikes it rich in any lasting way.
4
Household
He loves a dance-hall girl who does not see him, and no home forms.
2
Piety
Starving and a one-sided love never become a question of conscience.
6
Courage
He stays in the Yukon while starving, a risk measured in hunger.
3
Republic
A gold camp offers no town, law, or neighbor he is shown to owe.
7
Temperance
Hunger is the joke and the wound, and the gold is not a lasting prize.
7
Truth
The public bits joke about hunger; the title's promise of gold does not pay.
3
Stewardship
No lasting claim is left; the thing he carries is the hunger.

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.

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