Pass it on

Remember the Titans

63Watch it awake.

Keep it, with the knowledge that it smooths a history. The locker room still has a true demand: play as one or lose.

The review

Boone will not coach two teams inside one locker room. That insistence is the film's spine and it is right. The friendships arrive through work: a camp, a playbook, a hit you take for someone you did not eat with last year. The movie is neater than 1971, and a house should say so rather than pretend a sports picture finished racism. What it does not lie about is the necessity of a standard that applies to every boy in the room.

Watch it, then resist the warm credit sequence as a substitute for your own school's facts. The charge is local.

Journal

Keep Remember the Titans in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 63. Yours can differ.

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.

Consider this

Chariots of Fire

76 instead of 63

Chariots of Fire is still a drama film, and it scores 76 instead of 63. What you gain is piety: Worship orders the race.

Pass it on

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

63Watch it awake.

The punishments are the old book. The factory is colder than the 1971 film. Read it that way.

The review

Charlie is still the child who has a family and almost nothing else, and the ticket is still a test the other children fail in public. Willy is stranger here, and the flashbacks make his oddness a wound rather than a mystery. That is a choice. It explains him. It also risks teaching that genius is a loneliness the world should indulge. The book did not ask for that much sympathy.

Watch it if the house already knows the story and can say which child is which. The gum, the television, the greed, the spoiled demanding: those four are the lesson, and they are still true. Do not come away wishing to live in the factory. Come away glad Charlie had a grandfather who would go with him and a family to bring the prize home to.
