Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

76Worth an evening.

Spock dies fixing the ship, and the friendship is the part that stays with you.

The review

I would leave this one on. An old enemy steals a device that can create life and means to use it as a weapon. Kirk has been an admiral, avoiding ships and avoiding age. Spock dies putting the engine back together. He says the needs of the many. The funeral is in space. The friendship is the point.

Let the funeral finish. Do not treat the death as a bridge to whatever comes next. He gave up the life he still wanted so the rest of them could have the ship. Kirk's hiding from the chair is the smaller truth beside that: a man dodging the work and the years. The device is a temptation to turn creation into a bomb. Spock's answer is a limit, kept in public, with his friends watching.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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.

Keep it. A Sabbath kept is not a small thing beside a gold medal.

The review

Abrahams runs against a snobbery that is real, and his pride is also real. Liddell runs as a form of praise, and when the heat is set on Sunday he will not budge. The film does not treat that as a neurosis. It treats it as a man who knows who he is when the committee is waiting. Competition is given its joy. It is not given the last word.

A house that thinks faith is a private hobby can watch this and be corrected without a lecture. The lecture is the calendar. Some hours are not for sale.
