Enter the Dragon

55Watch it awake.

The fights are real skill, and the mission is still somebody else's job.

The review

The fights are why it lasted. A martial artist is sent into a tournament on a crime lord's island to bring back evidence. They filmed the fights as skill, not as noise, and that is how Bruce Lee reached a world audience. You can see what the body was trained to do. That part is worth a seat.

The errand is the part not to copy. The mission is still a job for other people's intelligence service. He does not own the purpose. He performs it. Magnificent at the thing he trained, and thin on who the island is for once the evidence goes back. If a child is watching the kicks, say the discipline is his and the errand belongs to the men who sent him.

The glance

Household and Piety 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

The Empire Strikes Back

71 instead of 55

The Empire Strikes Back is still a action film, and it scores 71 instead of 55. What you gain is household: The father-revelation is the household catastrophe.

55Watch it awake.

The land is not a warehouse. The sermon is right. The body he borrows, and the war that follows, are the part to hold lightly.

The review

A corporation will burn a place for a rock, and the film is not shy about naming that. That is the line to keep. Jake Sully's answer is to become the people he was sent to betray, and then to lead their war, which is a thinner answer than the warning.

Watch it for the warning. Do not take the blue body as a permission to throw your own life away for a feeling of belonging.

The glance

Republic and Temperance are the thin ones.

Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?

65 instead of 55

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is still a action film, and it scores 65 instead of 55. What you gain is courage: He stays when the dream offers him his family back.
