Pass it on
Orion and the Dark
59Watch it awake.
A fear faced, and then handed to a child of his own. The second part is the one most films forget.
The review
Orion and the Dark would be a pleasant fable if it ended when the boy falls asleep. It does not. It follows him until he is the parent, and the night has to be explained again. That is a grown idea, and it is the right one. Children old enough to be afraid of the dark can watch it with the person who will still be in the house when the film ends. That person is the point.
Journal
Keep Orion and the Dark in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 59. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Piety and Republic are the thin ones.
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
David
76 instead of 59
David is still a family film, and it scores 76 instead of 59. What you gain is piety: The soul is the subject.
The eight
- 4Industry
He does not have a trade yet. The older Orion does have a daughter to be useful to.
- 7Household
The story grows up. The boy becomes a father, and the fear is retold for her.
- 4Piety
The dark is a person. Wonder, not a creed.
- 7Courage
He goes into the thing he is afraid of, and later he does it again so a child can sleep.
- 4Republic
A private fear. The public part is the daughter.
- 6Temperance
Quiet for this shelf, and not cynical.
- 7Truth
Fear is named accurately. It is not mocked and it is not obeyed.
- 8Stewardship
The point of surviving the night is to be able to sit with his own child.
