Gold Diggers of 1933

55Watch it awake.

They can't pay the rent, the money is the point, and the film knows the joke is grim.

The review

Rent first, then the grin. Chorus girls who cannot pay it put on a show about the Depression. A hit, behind the year's biggest, and Berkeley again. The opening number tells you the money is the point. The women are looking for a man who has it. I laughed and then felt cheap, which means the picture already knew.

The film knows the joke is grim. The last number is about forgotten soldiers. A house can watch it. The women are still arranged, and the man with money is still the prize. A grim joke beats a sweet lie about the Depression. It will not cover anybody's rent on Monday.

The glance

Household and Temperance 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

Hamilton

66 instead of 55

Hamilton is still a musical film, and it scores 66 instead of 55. What you gain is stewardship: A son, a widow, and a system he is trying to leave standing.

The eight

8
Industry
They cannot pay the rent, so the chorus job is how the week stays possible.
3
Household
They want a man who has money, and that hunt is not a household yet.
5
Piety
The last number remembers forgotten soldiers after the money jokes are done.
6
Courage
They put on a Depression show while the rent is already more than they have.
7
Republic
Forgotten soldiers are a public debt, and the last number is the film saying so.
3
Temperance
The opening says the money is the point, and the next man who has it is the want.
7
Truth
The film knows the gold-digger joke is grim and does not dress the rent as charm.
5
Stewardship
A number is left for forgotten soldiers; the women are still the arrangement.

Avatar

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.

Republic and Temperance are the thin ones.

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

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train

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.
