Pass it on

Romeo and Juliet

51Watch it awake.

The poetry is the draw, and the feud still spends both children.

The review

This is the play, with a Juliet and a Romeo who look the age the lines say they are. That is the reason to pick this filming. Two households, a secret marriage, a message that does not arrive. The poetry is the draw, and I would not talk over it. Older children can meet it. A small child does not need the tomb.

Say, before you start, that it is a play about families who would rather win. The deaths are the feud's bill, not a proof that young love was right to hurry. If the room comes out thinking the ending was the beautiful part, put the weight back on the houses. They had a marriage in secret because they would not make room for it in public, and the message that might have saved the children does not arrive.

Journal

Keep Romeo and Juliet in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry 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 Quiet Man

58 instead of 51

The Quiet Man is still a romance film, and it scores 58 instead of 51. What you gain is industry: A farm, a dowry, actual fields.

Pass it on

Barbie in the Nutcracker

51Watch it awake.

A small courage story inside a toy commercial. The courage is real enough for a child.

The review

Clara is told she is only a girl, and the plot contradicts the aunt without turning Clara into a brand ambassador for defiance. She is kind to a toy, steady in a strange country, and willing to be the one who moves when the mice have the room. The Nutcracker is a prince who needs help. That order is fine.

It is also a doll's film, and the last frame is a product. Do not pretend otherwise. The middle is still a usable picture of a girl who acts. Put it on for a young child. Do not build a theology out of it.
