Pulp Fiction

34Leave it.

One true note: a man who decides to stop. Around it, cool violence as a style. Adults. Do not start a teenager on the style.

The review

The desk does not need a new plot summary of a film this famous. It needs the warning attached to the tile a thirteen-year-old can see between a Lego movie and John Wick: the wit is real, the courage of the man who quits is real, and the cool is a lie that has already lasted thirty years. Children do not come for Ezekiel. They come for the walk.

Not tonight. Not at that age. If an adult watches it, do not quote the killers at the table afterward.

Journal

Keep Pulp Fiction in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 34. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship 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

The Godfather Part II

46 instead of 34

The Godfather Part II is still a crime film, and it scores 46 instead of 34. What you gain is industry: An immigrant's labor, then a crime that calls itself a business.

The eight

4
Industry
A boxer who will not throw the fight. Killers with a craft they should not have.
3
Household
A marriage among thieves. Loyalty without a good.
4
Piety
Jules quotes Ezekiel and, for a minute, means to change. That minute is the only piety.
5
Courage
Butch goes back for the man who was hunting him. It is the best act in the film.
2
Republic
No city. A set of rooms.
2
Temperance
Heroin, rape, a gun as a personality. The film is temperate about none of it and witty about all of it.
5
Truth
Jules's walk-out is a true turn. The movie will not live there.
2
Stewardship
What a generation handed on was the soundtrack of the shooting, not the quitting.

The review

Mal flees Auradon because love there requires a makeover. That instinct is fair. The film resolves it with a bigger makeover and a pirate boyfriend and a swordfight among the children of trademarks. The island's injustice — children punished for their parents — remains the only serious idea, and it remains unused except as a set.

If the first is already in the house, this adds little. Watch it only if you will actually talk about whether the 'good' place was asking for a costume. If not, skip. You will not miss a moral you did not already hear.
