Spider-Man 2

73Worth an evening.

Duty that ruins your afternoon and is still yours. The best of these. Keep it.

The review

Peter is broke, late, and losing the woman he loves because he will not explain the nights. He stops. The crimes continue. The picture of him that matters is not the train fight, though the train fight is a civic miracle of ordinary people passing a body back to safety. It is a man who learns he does not get to resign from a capacity to help.

Old enough for a fight, young enough to still be forming a conscience: watch it together. Say that a gift is not a personality. It is a debt to the next person on the train.

Journal

Keep Spider-Man 2 in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 73. 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.

The eight

8
Industry
Pizza, rent, classes. The ordinary work is failing because the real work is unpaid.
6
Household
An aunt he tells the truth to, late. A love he thinks he has to refuse.
4
Piety
A moral law he did not choose.
9
Courage
He goes back after he has quit.
8
Republic
The train full of strangers carries him. That is a city behaving like a people.
7
Temperance
He wants a private life. The film does not call the wanting dirty. It calls the quitting impossible.
8
Truth
He tells Aunt May the truth about the night Ben died.
8
Stewardship
A power spent on people who will never know his name.

Moana

73Worth an evening.

A girl, a people, a boat, and a task that is not about becoming famous. Keep it.

The review

Moana is given a wanting that could have been the usual wanting — see the world, be special — and the film ties it to a people who will starve if she is only special. Her father is strict because the reef has killed before. He is wrong about staying and right to care whether she comes back. The demigod is funny and proud and has to become useful. The theology is Polynesian and particular. You do not have to share it to see that a stolen heart has to be returned, and that a girl can carry her house with her instead of shedding it.

Good for the whole table, Kiki included. Afterward, ask what we have forgotten how to do that a grandparent still knew.
