Monsters, Inc.

73Worth an evening.

Labor, a child, and a factory that learns laughter. Worth an evening with the house.

The review

A factory runs on the fear of children, and two friends on the floor are good at the job. Then a child is not a hazard. She is a toddler who says a name and holds a hand. The film's argument is that the work can be changed without pretending the work did not matter. Laughter powers the city because someone told the truth about what they were extracting.

This is one of the best popular films of these years, and it is a comedy. Watch it with anyone. Ask, after, what this house runs on that it could run on something kinder.

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.

The eight

9
Industry
The floor, the quota, the paperwork, the friendship of two shifts. Work is the world.
8
Household
A child is not a battery. She becomes a person they are responsible for.
4
Piety
No church. The reverence is for the child, which is a start.
7
Courage
He risks the job, then the company, then the only world he knows.
6
Republic
A company town with a lobby and a cover-up. The public is the workers.
8
Temperance
It is funny without humiliation as the fuel.
8
Truth
The scream was a lie about what a child is. They tell the truth and the lights stay on.
8
Stewardship
What they leave is a workplace that does not have to frighten anyone to live.

Babe

73Worth an evening.

Keep it. Vocation is not breed. Kindness gets the sheep to move.

The review

Farmer Hoggett is a quiet man who bets his reputation on a pig. That bet is the film's courage, and it is not loud. Babe's method, asking rather than biting, is a picture of authority that does not need humiliation. The sheep are not props. The cat is a snob and the film knows it. There is a darkness under the charm, the way a farm is actually a place where animals die, and the story does not fully hide it.

A child can watch this and understand competence as a form of love. When Hoggett says the kind sentence to the pig, the room should be quiet. That sentence is worth more than a speech about believing in yourself.
