Frozen II

74Worth an evening.

A sequel about a debt. Heavier, and serious about the parents' wrong.

The review

The first film was a family. This one is a reckoning. Their parents built a dam that weakened another people and called the arrangement peace. Elsa goes toward the truth. Anna pulls the dam down knowing Arendelle may flood. That is a grown choice, and the film does not giggle it away.

Some of the mythology is fog. The moral is not. A house that liked the first one should see the second, and talk about the dam. A wrong built into a public work does not become heritage by lasting.

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

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

81 instead of 74

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is still a fantasy film, and it scores 81 instead of 74. What you gain is piety: There is a good older than the Ring.

Arrival

74Worth an evening.

Understanding is the work. She says yes to a child she will lose. That yes is the film.

The review

Louise's profession is the unfashionable one: sit with a sentence until it means what the speaker meant, not what you feared. The generals want a weapon. The film thinks a grammar is more dangerous and more useful than a weapon, because a grammar changes what you are able to choose. When she sees the whole of her life with her daughter, including the end, she does not flinch into a safer timeline.

Adults, and teenagers who can be quiet. This is one of the few popular films of the decade that treats knowledge as a moral act. Watch it when the house is tempted to answer before it has understood.

The eight

9
Industry
Translation as a discipline: hours, a whiteboard, a refusal of the military shortcut.
7
Household
A mother who chooses the daughter knowing the death. The choice is love, not ignorance.
5
Piety
Awe, handled as study. No church, and no sneer at the scale.
8
Courage
She walks into the ship, and later she walks into the grief on purpose.
6
Republic
Nations on the edge of a war because they will not read slowly. She is the argument for slowness.
7
Temperance
No thrill-chase. The tension is whether anyone will shut up long enough to learn a sentence.
9
Truth
The whole story is about what a word does. A bad translation is nearly a war.
8
Stewardship
She accepts a future that includes a loss, and does not edit the child out to spare herself.
