Tron

Tron

66Worth an evening.

Pretty lights, but it is a worker whose games were stolen and a system that wants all of it.

Pass it on

The review

The look was new, and if you only came for the look you will think it is a toy. A programmer is pulled into the system of the company that stole his games. Inside, programs are persons. A master program wants everything centralized. He has to get a message out. That is a worker against a system that ate his work, dressed in light.

Say the theft before you praise the pictures. His job was the games. They took the job. The same hunger, inside, will not leave another program a corner of its own. Courage here is not a battle cry. It is getting word out before one will is the only will left. Watch for that, or the glow is just a commercial for a computer you cannot buy anymore.

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

Consider this

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

76 instead of 66

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is still a science-fiction film, and it scores 76 instead of 66. What you gain is household: The bond that matters is a friendship, not a marriage or a child.

The eight

  1. 9
    Industry

    A programmer's games are the work a company stole and called its own.

  2. 2
    Household

    No parent, spouse, or child is the life on the line.

  3. 6
    Piety

    Programs are persons, so using them as tools is a wrong he can see.

  4. 7
    Courage

    He has to get a message out from inside the system that took him.

  5. 8
    Republic

    One master program wants all of it, and the worker owes the warning.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    The hunger is total control, and he is not invited to share it.

  7. 8
    Truth

    The company stole the games, and the story is getting that theft told.

  8. 7
    Stewardship

    Getting the message out is how his work is not swallowed for good.

Live historically

Before you praise the look, say the company stole his games and ask at the end if the message got out.

Alien

Alien

66Worth an evening.

Ripley reads the quarantine rule. The company already decided the crew was expendable.

Pass it on

The review

The fright is what people quote. The paperwork is what decides it. A commercial towing crew, not soldiers, answers a signal. The company wants the organism. On the forms the crew is expendable. Ripley, the warrant officer, reads the quarantine rule. Someone brings the organism back aboard anyway.

Adult, and I am not going to describe the body. She is not a chosen one. She is the officer whose work is to say no when the cargo is worth more to the firm than the people hauling it. Watch who treats them as a line item and who treats them as a crew. The rule was the promise. Breaking it is the bill, and the company had already signed the crew away.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

76 instead of 66

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is still a science-fiction film, and it scores 76 instead of 66. What you gain is stewardship: What he leaves is the crew alive, and a funeral held in space.

The eight

  1. 9
    Industry

    A towing crew with ranks and a quarantine rule, and the job is the plot.

  2. 2
    Household

    No marriage, parent, or child is a life aboard; it is a workplace.

  3. 7
    Piety

    Ripley reads the rule that should stop them, and someone breaks it.

  4. 7
    Courage

    Holding quarantine means standing against the people who want the cargo.

  5. 8
    Republic

    The company marks the crew expendable; she treats the rule as owed.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    The firm wants the organism; the film stands with the refusal.

  7. 8
    Truth

    The paperwork lies about their worth, and breaking quarantine brings the bill.

  8. 6
    Stewardship

    A rule was the thing worth keeping, and the company would spend the crew.

Live historically

When they answer the signal, read the quarantine the way Ripley does before anyone excuses the break.

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.
