Pass it on

Amadeus

56Watch it awake.

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

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.

Journal

Keep Amadeus 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 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.

The Sound of Music

74 instead of 56

The Sound of Music is still a drama film, and it scores 74 instead of 56. What you gain is republic: A nation asking good people to look away.

The eight

9
Industry
Composing is the real work, and the music is the evidence on the table.
6
Household
A father, a wife, money, and a body keep Mozart's life from being only genius.
4
Piety
Salieri calls the gap God's injustice and does not let that stop his envy.
5
Courage
The body and the money are at risk, while Salieri mostly risks his own peace.
4
Republic
A court may employ them, but nobody here is answering to a town.
3
Temperance
Envy is fed by every comparison, and the confession does not starve it.
7
Truth
He tells the truth that the other man is better, then misnames what God owes him.
7
Stewardship
The music outlasts the grievance, which is what the people still have.

Pass it on

Avatar: The Way of Water

56Watch it awake.

The warning is the same as the first film. The water is not a warehouse either.

The review

The first film said a forest is not inventory. This one moves the same sentence underwater, and the sentence is still true. Jake's trouble is that the war he joined has children now, and a father who made himself a weapon does not get to retire from it when the next boat comes.

The spectacle is the product. Stay for the father who would rather the children learn the reef than learn his war, and notice the film cannot help spending them on the war anyway. Take the warning. Do not take the three hours of fire as the point.
