Pass it on

American Sniper

49Watch it awake.

The skill is not the same thing as the war. Adults. The wife is the witness. Watch awake.

The review

A shepherd of men, in his own mind, looks through a scope and has to decide what a child in the street is holding. Those seconds are the serious part. The film is often more comfortable on the roof than in the kitchen, and the people on the other end of the shot are rarely given a kitchen at all.

Adults. Do not put it on as a recruitment poster or as a debunking. If you watch it, stay for the grocery store, where a man who was decisive cannot be. Ask what a country owes the person it trained to do this, and what it owes the rooms it never filmed.

Journal

Keep American Sniper in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 49. 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 Patriot

59 instead of 49

The Patriot is still a war film, and it scores 59 instead of 49. What you gain is household: He fights because they took his children, not because of a speech.

The eight

6
Industry
He trains, he waits, he takes a shot he cannot take back. The craft is the drama.
5
Household
A marriage frays on the phone. The children meet a father who is not fully home.
4
Piety
He prays, and the film is more sure of the flag than of the prayer.
7
Courage
He does a job that can kill him, for the men beside him.
4
Republic
The country is a cheering and a silence. The Iraqi rooms are barely people.
4
Temperance
The film loves the competence. It is less honest about the pleasure of that love.
5
Truth
Combat stress is not a twist. It is the second half.
4
Stewardship
What he wants to leave his children is a father. The film is unsure he can.

Pass it on

Barbie

49Watch it awake.

A mother and a daughter are the true thing in it. The joke spends a long time on the other sex.

The review

Gloria and her daughter are doing something the pink world cannot: living in a house where feelings are uneven and a mother is tired. That is worth the ticket. The rest is a bright argument that men are the obstacle, which is an easy hall to fill and a poor map of a kitchen.

See it with the mother-and-daughter scene in mind. Do not let a child take the speech as the whole news about the other half of the house.
