Hamilton

66Worth an evening.

A republic, built by a man who could not stop working or wanting. Thrilling, and not innocent.

The review

This is the rare popular work that thinks the founding is interesting, and it is right. Hamilton's pen, Washington's restraint, and the argument over what a government owes a soldier are real subjects. Eliza is the conscience the title character keeps failing. The language is foul, the adultery is sung to break your heart in his favor, and a duel is the punctuation. A fifteen-year-old can learn from it and can also learn the wrong romance with brilliance.

Watch it with an older teen, not with the young. Stop after Eliza takes the narrative back, and ask what she built that he could not.

Journal

Keep Hamilton in the record.

Live Historic number 66. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Temperance are the thin ones.

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

Hacksaw Ridge

74 instead of 66

Hacksaw Ridge is still a history film, and it scores 74 instead of 66. What you gain is piety: Faith that costs a rank and a rifle.

The eight

8
Industry
Work is the man's whole claim: he writes his way out. The musical believes labor is destiny, and it is half right.
5
Household
A wife who is better than the plot he gives her. The affair is not skipped. It is also given a ballad.
4
Piety
Providence is in the letters. The show's working creed is legacy.
8
Courage
Yorktown, the Reynolds confession, the duel. He pays in public more than once.
9
Republic
Cabinet fights as moral arguments. A new country argued into being by people who expected to be judged.
4
Temperance
Ambition is the drug, named, and then given the best songs.
7
Truth
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story. The show knows the record can be captured.
8
Stewardship
A son, a widow, and a system he is trying to leave standing. Eliza finishing the work is the true ending.

Coraline

66Worth an evening.

She goes home to the parents who are imperfect and real. Frightening, and worth it for an older child beside you.

The review

Coraline is bored of parents who are busy, and a door offers her the same house with better food and a mother who has all the time in the world. The price is her eyes. The film is clear, and it should be: a love that needs you altered, buttoned, and grateful for the alteration is not love. The real parents are not idealized. They are hers. She chooses them.

Too frightening for a small child. Right for an older one who can say, afterward, why she did not stay. If they cannot say it, they were too young for the door.

Republic is the thin one.

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

Spirited Away

78 instead of 66

Spirited Away is still a fantasy film, and it scores 78 instead of 66. What you gain is industry: She earns the rescue by labor.
