Pass it on

Finding Nemo

69Worth an evening.

Keep it. Love that will not let go must learn to let the child swim.

The review

Marlin's grief is not a joke, and his overprotection is not a mystery. The film understands both. Dory's forgetfulness is played for laughs and then revealed as a form of faithfulness: she keeps the errand when she cannot keep the facts. Nemo is not cargo. The last act works because the boy has to do the dangerous thing himself while the father trusts him.

A family that has been scared can watch this and talk about the difference between care and a grip. The ocean is big. The promise is not that it is safe. The promise is that you go.

Journal

Keep Finding Nemo in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 69. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

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

Spirited Away

78 instead of 69

Spirited Away is still a animation film, and it scores 78 instead of 69. What you gain is industry: She earns the rescue by labor.

Pass it on

Forrest Gump

69Worth an evening.

He keeps his word while the years will not. The sweetness is real, and so is the woman it cannot save.

The review

Forrest Gump sits on a bench and walks you through decades. The thing that sticks is the promise to Bubba: a friend dies in the war, Forrest learns a trade he never wanted, works the shrimp boat, and hands the result to the dead man's family.

That faithfulness is the good part—he goes back for the lieutenant and stays with Jenny when it is no longer romance. Leave it on and you get war, a funeral, and her ruin treated as grief, not a look to copy. Fine with a child old enough for those. He is not wise because the lines are short. He keeps his word.
