A Place in the Sun

51Watch it awake.

He wants the rich girl, and the factory girl he got pregnant is not a prop.

The review

Adult, and I mean the word. A poor young man takes a job in his rich uncle's factory. He gets a fellow worker pregnant and falls in love with a rich girl. The rich life is the temptation. I know how a bigger room starts to feel like a self you're owed. That feeling is the danger, not a side note.

There's a boat and a drowning that is and isn't an accident. I won't linger on it. The poor girl isn't a prop to the film, even when she is to him. Not for children. If you watch, don't come out praising the beautiful life as if the other person were furniture.

The glance

Piety and Courage 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

Spartacus

63 instead of 51

Spartacus is still a drama film, and it scores 63 instead of 51. What you gain is courage: He fights when the odds are a lesson, not a chance, and he does not sell the others.

Pass it on

Barbie in the Nutcracker

51Watch it awake.

A small courage story inside a toy commercial. The courage is real enough for a child.

The review

Clara is told she is only a girl, and the plot contradicts the aunt without turning Clara into a brand ambassador for defiance. She is kind to a toy, steady in a strange country, and willing to be the one who moves when the mice have the room. The Nutcracker is a prince who needs help. That order is fine.

It is also a doll's film, and the last frame is a product. Do not pretend otherwise. The middle is still a usable picture of a girl who acts. Put it on for a young child. Do not build a theology out of it.

Room on the Broom

66 instead of 51

Room on the Broom is still a family film, and it scores 66 instead of 51. What you gain is industry: The broom is a tool.
