The review

Don't treat the clown as the fun part. A scientist is betrayed by his wife and his patron, then becomes a clown whose act is being slapped. Lon Chaney, 1924, a respected hit and not the year's leader. Adult enough. A teen can watch it. The humiliation is the job. I won't treat the clowning as a romp, and you shouldn't either.

A wife and a patron betray him, and what's left is a living made of the slap. That's not a joke I want repeated at school. If you watch, say that before the first laugh. The respect it earned doesn't lighten the humiliation. People sat for a man whose job was to be hit and called the evening a story.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship 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

F1

50 instead of 38

F1 is still a drama film, and it scores 50 instead of 38. What you gain is courage: He gets in the car knowing what a wall can do.

The review

The only grown sentence is the first one: tired men try to outsource the watching of the world, and the thing they built does not love the world. That is an old warning, and it is the right warning for a decade that kept handing judgment to a system.

Then Sokovia lifts and the warning becomes a set. Stay if you want the argument about who gets to build a peace. Do not stay for the peace itself. The film does not have one. It has a sequel.
