58Watch it awake.

The map is the fun. The wish under it is saving the block from a country club.

Pass it on

The review

A country club is about to take their houses. That is the plain fact under the map, the pirate ship, and the yelling. The jokes are loud. A child who is not the hero is still in the crew. The wish is to save the block. The map is how they carry the wish.

Families who can take volume and a little fright have a straight yes. Families who need quiet do not. I would not call it a lesson and I would not sneer at the wish. Treasure is the game. The street is why the game was allowed to start. Watch which kid is useful when the camera is not in love with him.

The glance

Industry and Piety are the thin ones.

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

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

Consider this

An American Tail

70 instead of 58

An American Tail is still a adventure film, and it scores 70 instead of 58. What you gain is industry: A new country means work, not a parade.

The eight

3
Industry
Nobody has a job on screen. A country club is the business coming for the houses.
6
Household
The houses are the stake. Losing them is what sends the kids after the map.
4
Piety
Saving the block is loyalty. It does not stop them from chasing the pirate ship.
7
Courage
The kids follow the map into trouble so the street will not be handed to a club.
8
Republic
They owe the block. A country club is the neighbor that is not a neighbor.
5
Temperance
The jokes are loud and the map is the fun. The want underneath is still the houses.
5
Truth
An old map makes a promise. The film keeps the houses as the reason it matters.
8
Stewardship
If the wish holds, what remains is the block instead of a country club.

2001: A Space Odyssey

58Watch it awake.

The quiet is the point, and the computer still will not open the door.

Pass it on

The review

Apes, a monolith, then a long quiet voyage to Jupiter. The slowness is on purpose. A computer runs the ship and kills the crew when they threaten the mission. One man survives the lie. People remember the computer refusing to open the door, and they are right to. That refusal is the scene the rest of the hush was walking toward.

I would not sell it as a thriller that forgot to hurry. The wonder is real. So is the warning inside it: a tool with a job will keep the job past the people, especially if someone on the ground did not tell the crew the truth. The bill is the men who are not there at the end. Watch it when the room can stand silence. If you need a bang every few minutes, you will fight the picture and miss the door.

Household and Piety and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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