Sparrows

69Worth an evening.

A child will be frightened, and she is still the one doing a mother's work in that swamp.

The review

The swamp is not a playground, and I want that said before we start. Mary Pickford, a grown woman playing a girl again, leads a brood of children out of a baby farm. United Artists, 1926, a well-known hit, not the year's leader. A child can watch it and will be frightened. The farm is a prison. I am not going further into the cruelty than that.

She is the one who does the work of a mother. That is the part I trusted. I would not put this on for a small child who startles, and I would not skip it with an older one who can hear that the farm is a prison. Say the star is not a child. Then let the escape be the work. Fright is not a reason to linger, and it is not a reason to shrug.

Temperance is the thin one.

Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?

Finding Nemo

69Worth an evening.

Keep it. Love that will not let go must learn to let the child swim.

The review

Marlin's grief is not a joke, and his overprotection is not a mystery. The film understands both. Dory's forgetfulness is played for laughs and then revealed as a form of faithfulness: she keeps the errand when she cannot keep the facts. Nemo is not cargo. The last act works because the boy has to do the dangerous thing himself while the father trusts him.

A family that has been scared can watch this and talk about the difference between care and a grip. The ocean is big. The promise is not that it is safe. The promise is that you go.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

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