Rebel Without a Cause

40Leave it.

The parents are the wound, the jacket is a bad souvenir, and it is not a model.

The review

Start with the parents, not the cars. A boy is new in town. His father will not stand up. His mother runs the house by embarrassment. There is a knife, a dare in cars, a planetarium, and two other young people as lost as he is. One of them dies in the dare. I won't linger on that. The wound was already at home.

The jacket is what boys kept. That is a bad souvenir from a film that is not a model. The dare looks like nerve and spends a kid the house had already failed. If yours want the pose, they can want it somewhere else. Watch only if you will talk about a father who folded and a mother who used shame. Otherwise you are renting them the costume.

Keep Rebel Without a Cause in the record.

Live Historic number 40. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry 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.

West Side Story

51 instead of 40

West Side Story is still a drama film, and it scores 51 instead of 40. What you gain is industry: The gangs have nothing to do but guard a block.

The eight

2
Industry
No trade matters here; the adults fail at home, not at a job.
8
Household
A father who will not stand and a mother who shames are the wound.
3
Piety
No conscience stops the dare, and the parents do not supply one.
5
Courage
They risk their lives on a dare, which is not the father standing up.
4
Republic
A town of watchers lets a dare become the only rule the kids keep.
2
Temperance
Boys kept the jacket, so the pose outlived the kid who died.
6
Truth
It tells the truth about the parents, then the jacket walks off as the memory.
2
Stewardship
What boys carried out was a jacket, not a father who stood up.

Armageddon

40Leave it.

A father and a crew. The world-ending is a fireworks show. The sacrifice is asserted, not earned.

The review

Rough men who can do a physical thing are sent to do it in space because the polished men cannot. That is a populist feeling the film is not wrong to have. A father who has been absent tries to bless a marriage before he dies. Those are human scraps.

The scraps are tied to a firework. You will be told when to cry. You do not have to. If the house wants a film about a crew and a real cost, Private Ryan is the adult one and Apollo stories exist. This is a cheer. Leave it.

The glance

Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

Doctor Strange

50 instead of 40

Doctor Strange is still a action film, and it scores 50 instead of 40. What you gain is temperance: His ego is the subject.
