Around the World in 80 Days

Best picture for a timetable and a tour, not because anyone had to change.

The review

Best picture, and a close second to the biblical pageant once both runs are counted. That is a fact about tickets. A man and his valet bet they can circle the globe in eighty days. Cameos, a balloon, trains, a ship. The pleasure is the tour. A romance is added to the trip. I had a pleasant time, and nobody on screen had to become a different person to get there.

The world goes by as a timetable he means to keep. That promise is more than a lot of light films bother with. It is still a tour. If you wanted a household, you get a valet and a gentleman who would rather win a clock. Put it on when you are tired and want motion. Skip it if you wanted the places to matter as more than stops.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

48 instead of 36

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is still a adventure film, and it scores 48 instead of 36. What you gain is household: The plot that matters is Luigi, and Mario going to get him.

The eight

4
Industry
The valet works; the gentleman's task is winning a bet on the clock.
3
Household
A romance is added to the trip and is not why the bet was made.
2
Piety
The wager never asks either of them to stop for conscience.
5
Courage
They risk the bet and the days, which is pride more than blood.
2
Republic
Countries pass as stops, and the travelers owe none of them a debt.
3
Temperance
The pleasure is the next view, and the picture keeps offering one.
7
Truth
A dated bet is a promise, and the story stands or falls on keeping it.
3
Stewardship
After the tour, the world is still a route and not a place they kept.

Black Swan

The discipline is real. Perfection is the idol, and the film kneels with her. Adults.

The review

Practice is not the villain. She has given herself to a hard craft, and the film respects the craft enough to show the feet. The villain is the idea that a person may be spent completely if the result is perfect. Her mother wanted a dancer in the house more than a daughter. The director wants the performance. She agrees.

Adults only. Do not watch it as a stylish breakdown to quote. If a young dancer in the house hears that perfection is this, say the plainer thing: the body is not raw material, and a role ends.

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