55Watch it awake.

Failure is allowed to be the lesson. The casino detour spends the lesson. The teacher who comes back is the part to keep.

The review

Luke's shame is the interesting thing: a teacher who failed a student and decided the order should die with his failure. The film is right that a legend can be a trap, and right that he still owes the people on the salt flat one honest stand. Rey does not get to inherit his fame. She gets a task.

The Canto Bight sequence is a lecture with a chase, and it is the part to forgive or skip in the retelling. Keep the silence in the hut, the sacrifice of the cruiser, and the boy with the broom. Those are about work and a future. The rest is a war toy.

The glance

Household and Piety are the thin ones.

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

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

68 instead of 55

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is still a adventure film, and it scores 68 instead of 55. What you gain is republic: An empire, a rebellion, a council that is afraid to act.

The eight

6
Industry
Mechanics, pilots, a broom. The film remembers that a war is also a job.
4
Household
Masters and students. Almost no marriages. The porgs are not a house.
4
Piety
The Force is a discipline he refuses, then a discipline he accepts again.
7
Courage
Holdo flies the ship into the fleet. He faces the walkers alone so the others can leave.
5
Republic
A resistance with ranks, and a codebreaker who is a fraud. The public is thin.
5
Temperance
The middle is a heist for its own sparkle. The ending puts the sparkle down.
6
Truth
The legend was a lie he told himself. The film makes him say so.
7
Stewardship
What he hands the girl is not his fame. It is the right to begin again without him.

The land is not a warehouse. The sermon is right. The body he borrows, and the war that follows, are the part to hold lightly.

The review

A corporation will burn a place for a rock, and the film is not shy about naming that. That is the line to keep. Jake Sully's answer is to become the people he was sent to betray, and then to lead their war, which is a thinner answer than the warning.

Watch it for the warning. Do not take the blue body as a permission to throw your own life away for a feeling of belonging.

Republic and Temperance are the thin ones.

Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train

65 instead of 55
