Doctor Strange

50Watch it awake.

Pride humbled, then a franchise. The humbling is the part that counts. Adults.

The review

Strange's hands are the moral event. He was a man who would not take the hard case if it would not make him famous. Kamar-Taj offers a rule, a master, and a war against a devouring eternity. He learns enough to bargain cleverly at the end, which is both growth and the old vice in a new cloak. The Ancient One's lie about her power source is the film's best discomfort: institutions hide a theft to keep the work going.

Adults. Take the hospital scenes and the lesson that mastery is obedience to a craft. Leave the cape if it starts to be the character. A gift that does not make you useful to a patient was a performance.

Journal

Keep Doctor Strange in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 50. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Republic are the thin ones.

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

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

Consider this

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

60 instead of 50

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is still a action film, and it scores 60 instead of 50. What you gain is household: The whole measure is which man is the father.

The eight

8
Industry
Surgery, then a discipline with hours and a library.
2
Household
No one at home. A colleague he scorned.
4
Piety
A borrowed mysticism. The useful part is submission to a teacher.
6
Courage
He goes back into the fight after he has been reduced.
4
Republic
A secret order protecting a world that did not elect it.
5
Temperance
His ego is the subject. It is dented, not gone.
6
Truth
The master's hypocrisy is exposed. Good.
5
Stewardship
A protectorate, abstractly. He is not yet a man who stays with one patient.

50Watch it awake.

Speed, ego, and a real craft. The good scene is the older man spending himself on the younger one. The rest is a billboard.

The review

Brad Pitt plays a man who has already had his fame and is useful now only if he will be a teammate. That is a better idea than a racing movie usually has. The young driver wants the glory without the boring obedience, and the film is on the right side of that argument often enough to be worth a conversation. It is also two hours of sponsorships and wrecks.

Good at thirteen if someone in the room cares about the craft and will say that a crew is not a personal brand. Leave the wrecks as wrecks, not as beauty.
