Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

They are charming, and the posse does not quit. Charm is not innocence.

The review

Two train robbers are good company. A posse does not stop. They take a woman they both love to Bolivia and they keep robbing. The jokes are what a lot of people remember.

The last image is a freeze-frame on gunfire they do not walk away from. The film is honest there, after being charming for two hours. Charm is not innocence. Adults. Do not let a boy leave thinking the laugh was the same thing as a clean life.

Journal

Keep Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 35. Yours can differ.

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?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

The Godfather Part II

46 instead of 35

The Godfather Part II is still a crime film, and it scores 46 instead of 35. What you gain is industry: An immigrant's labor, then a crime that calls itself a business.

The eight

3
Industry
Their work is robbery. They are good at it and they do not quit.
4
Household
A woman goes with both of them. It is not a house. It is a partnership.
2
Piety
Nothing they believe in is higher than the next job and the joke.
5
Courage
They keep going with a posse behind them. Nerve is not the same as right.
3
Republic
The law is the thing chasing them. They never join a town.
3
Temperance
The jokes make the stealing easy to sit with. That is the risk.
6
Truth
The ending does not pretend they ride off. The gunfire is the bill.
2
Stewardship
What they leave is a story people like. The money was someone else's.

Brand maintenance with a funeral in it. The craft is professional. The reason is thin.

The review

There is a real public question under the tux: who watches the watchers when every camera is one system. The film picks the question up and sets it down for a childhood grievance that makes a franchise feel like a family saga. It is not a family saga. It is a product arranging its villains into one line.

Adults who like the craft can see the craft. Do not call it serious because it is gloomy. Gloom is cheap. The question about the cameras was the part worth keeping, and they spent it.

Keep Spectre in the record.
