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.

Journal

Keep Barbie 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 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

Freaky Friday

65 instead of 49

Freaky Friday is still a comedy film, and it scores 65 instead of 49. What you gain is industry: A therapist's practice and a school's day, both shown as real work.

The eight

5
Industry
The company that makes her is shown as a company. Someone has an office and a quota.
7
Household
The story that holds is a woman and her child, not the dreamhouse.
3
Piety
No God. A creator who is a toy designer, and she is not enough.
5
Courage
She walks out of a world that was built to flatter her.
4
Republic
The real world is a boardroom and a street. Citizenship is a punchline.
4
Temperance
The satire is the pleasure, and it is broad enough to flatten every man in the frame.
6
Truth
It admits the doll was a product sold as a self. That admission is the adult part.
5
Stewardship
She chooses an ordinary body and an ordinary future. The sequel-shaped ending is still a commercial.

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.
