Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

The eight

1. 7
   Industry

   Tradecraft, a hearing, a shot group. The job is an institution, not a montage of passports only.

2. 4
   Household

   M as a hard parent. His own childhood house is the last stand, and it is full of ghosts.

3. 2
   Piety

   No creed. Loyalty to a chief is the substitute, and the film is uneasy about it.

4. 8
   Courage

   He comes back hurt, and he stands in a doorway he could have left.

5. 6
   Republic

   A public hearing. The secret state has to answer, briefly, for what it is.

6. 4
   Temperance

   The chase and the drink are the old appetites. The film is more interested in age than in the girl.

7. 6
   Truth

   Silva's grievance is real. The film does not let the grievance become a license to burn a city.

8. 6
   Stewardship

   M dies. The next M sits down. The office continues, which is the point and the sadness.
