Groundhog Day

Keep it. Repetition is a mercy when it is used to grow a character.

The review

Phil uses the loop first for appetite, then for despair, then for craft: piano, ice sculpture, the old man, the boy falling from the tree. The film is a moral education disguised as a joke, and the joke stays funny because he is actually insufferable at the start. Rita is not a prize for self-improvement. She is the witness he cannot fool, which is why the last morning matters.

Watch it on a day when the house feels stuck. The theology is light and the practice is serious. You become good by doing the same right things when nobody is keeping score.

Keep Groundhog Day in the record.

Live Historic number 69. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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 Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

81 instead of 69

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is still a fantasy film, and it scores 81 instead of 69. What you gain is household: He leaves home so the home can stay.

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.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

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.
