The Lego Movie

69Worth an evening.

The prophecy is a lie. The basement is the truth. One of the better family films.

The review

Emmet is a rule-follower in a company town, and the film is smart enough to like his loyalty to the instructions before it likes his rebellion. The villain is a man who glues the world so nothing can be rearranged. Then the story steps into a basement, and the villain is also a father who will not let his son play. Both facts stand. Order without a child becomes a display case. Play without any order is not the ending either. They build together, with the lid off.

Witty without rotting the family. A father should watch the last ten minutes without a phone.

Journal

Keep The Lego Movie in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 69. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

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

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.

The eight

7
Industry
Instructions, construction, a job. Glue is the counterfeit of building.
9
Household
The real plot is a father who has forgotten how to share the toys.
3
Piety
A fake prophecy, exposed.
6
Courage
Emmet steps off the ledge for the others. The braver act is the father opening his hand.
6
Republic
A company town of enforced sameness.
7
Temperance
Control is the excess, not play.
8
Truth
The chosen-one story is a lie the master builders tell. Then a truer story replaces it.
9
Stewardship
What is at stake is the boy's right to build on the man's work.

Pass it on

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.

Fear is the vice he repents.
7
Truth
He was wrong about the boy, and says so.

It hands a parent the open water and the child.
