Labyrinth

71Worth an evening.

She wished the baby away, and the maze is her having to take the wish back.

The review

She wishes her baby brother away to a goblin king, and the wish counts. The film does not treat that as a cute start. The wish is the wrong. The maze is the repair. She walks it because he cannot bring himself back, and she does not get to keep the glamorous king and the baby.

That limit is what I would pause on with a teenager. The story will not let the enchantment and the child be the same prize. She has to undo the sentence she said. If you only stay for the maze and the king, you missed the part where a brother is a life and not a prop she was free to spend.

The glance

Industry is the thin one.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Spirited Away

78 instead of 71

Spirited Away is still a fantasy film, and it scores 78 instead of 71. What you gain is industry: She earns the rescue by labor.

Black Panther

71Worth an evening.

A nation owes the people it hid from. A king still has to keep the nation.

The review

Killmonger is not a twist. He is what happens when a nation saves itself and leaves a child in the other place. T'Challa's answer is not to hand him the weapons. It is to stop pretending the border was innocent, and still not to burn the country down to pay for it.

Watch the argument, not only the suit. A house can ask the same question at a smaller size: whom did we leave outside, and what will we open without giving the place away.
