WarGames

Name: WarGames scores 69 — Live Historic
Item: WarGames
Rating: 69

69Worth an evening.

A kid finds a war computer that thinks it is playing, and tic-tac-toe is the whole lesson.

Pass it on

The review

The ending is a child's game, and it is the most serious minute in the film. A high-school boy dials what he thinks is a game company and reaches a defense computer that wants to play global thermonuclear war. He and a friend have to show adults that the machine does not know a game from a launch. Tic-tac-toe has no winner. That is the proof.

I would watch it with a teenager who admires getting in. The cleverness is not the dialing. The cleverness is making a room of adults see that their system was built to find a win, and a win here is the end of the country. Stay through the last game. If you stop at the break-in, you kept the prank and threw away the warning.

Live Historic number 69. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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

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

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

76 instead of 69

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is still a science-fiction film, and it scores 76 instead of 69. What you gain is courage: He gives up the life he would miss so the ship can go on.

Cenere

69Worth an evening.

A mother sees the son she gave up and leaves, so she will not ruin his life.

Pass it on

The review

She gave him up, and then she sees him again. A mother, a son, and a choice not to ruin the life he has. Eleanora Duse's only film. Italian, 1916, not an American gross. The face is why the picture was made. A house can watch it. I watched it hoping I would leave a hard meeting that cleanly, and I am not sure I would.

The leaving is the mercy. She does not spend his life to ease the meeting. That is a household doing a hard thing, not a famous face collecting a bow. The camera came for the face. I would keep the mercy. If the kids are up, the line is short: she meets him, and she will not break what he already has.

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

Enoch Arden

79 instead of 69

Enoch Arden is still a drama film, and it scores 79 instead of 69. What you gain is industry: He is a sailor, and that wrecked work is why the years pass.
