Do not leave this on with a child. The hotel wants the father, and the family is not safe.

The review

Do not put this on if a small child is still awake in the house. A writer takes a winter caretaking job in an empty hotel and brings his wife and son. The hotel wants the father. The film is plain that the family is not safe with him, and the mother and the boy have to get out.

I will not describe the violence. The part to talk about afterward is the job. Caretaking sounds like steady work, keys, a closed building, a paycheck through the snow. It is also a man given a whole place while the two people who depend on him have no exit that does not go through him. Watch the mother. She is the one who still has somebody to get to the door.

Journal

Keep The Shining in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 56. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

The Exorcist

68 instead of 56

The Exorcist is still a horror film, and it scores 68 instead of 56. What you gain is piety: One priest is losing his faith and still has to decide whether he stays.

Amadeus

56Watch it awake.

The music is a gift, and the man narrating it is not on your side.

Pass it on

The review

Salieri is the one talking. He knows he is good, he knows the other man is better, and he calls that God's injustice. The film is not a note-by-note life of Mozart. A father, a wife, money, and a body are in it. The music is the evidence. The confession is the frame. I enjoyed the music and did not enjoy the man handing it to me.

Save it for a night when envy is worth talking about afterward. Nobody in the room should be asked to admire the narrator. He tells a truth about a gift he cannot match, then spends the truth on a grievance. The music does not need his permission, and the warning is how a gifted man talks once he has decided heaven owes him an apology.
