Midway

Name: Midway scores 50 — Live Historic

50Watch it awake.

The duty is the part to keep. The battle is cleaner than it was. Watch it awake, or read the history after.

Pass it on

The review

Roland Emmerich is a spectacle director, and Midway is a spectacle that happens to be about a real turning point. The codebreakers at Station Hypo, the carriers, the decision to launch: those are the right objects. The men talk like a trailer. The fire is the kind of fire a computer can make beautiful, which is a problem when the subject is men burning.

Older teens can watch it if an adult will say, afterward, what was simplified. Do not let it be the only account of the battle in the house. Pair it with something that has a voice and a cost, even a book. The day matters. This film is a diagram of the day, painted in primary colors.

Journal

Keep Midway in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 50. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Temperance 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

The Covenant

63 instead of 50

The Covenant is still a war film, and it scores 63 instead of 50. What you gain is household: A wife and a child are why the interpreter cannot simply be brave in the abstract.

The eight

7
Industry
Codebreaking and carrier aviation are jobs, and the film at least shows both.
3
Household
Wives on the telephone. The household is a sketch.
3
Piety
A little prayer, a lot of certainty. Reverence is thin.
7
Courage
The dive-bomber run is courage of a specific kind, and the film is built toward it.
6
Republic
A republic's navy, an intelligence shop, a gamble. The public stakes are named and then simplified.
4
Temperance
The effects are the attraction. The dying is bright and quick.
5
Truth
The outline of the battle is right. The dialogue is poster talk.
5
Stewardship
What it leaves is a map of the day. Not a sufficient memory of it.

10 Things I Hate About You

50Watch it awake.

The bet is the sin. The poem is the repair. Older teens, with the bet named.

Pass it on

The review

Someone is paid to take the difficult sister out so the younger one can be dated. That is a use of a person, and the film knows it before it decides to be charming about it. Kat is not a problem to be solved. She is a girl with a standard, some of it pride and some of it sense. The poem works because it is specific and public and ashamed. A romance that ends on a confession is better than one that ends on a wink.

The Shakespeare underneath is a harsh play. This softens it into a high school, which is a mercy, and keeps the money, which is the part you have to say out loud so a teenager does not learn that being purchased is a meet-cute.

The Princess Bride

64 instead of 50

The Princess Bride is still a comedy film, and it scores 64 instead of 50. What you gain is industry: A quest with chores: the cliffs, the fight, the pit.
