Pass it on

Swiss Family Robinson

64Watch it awake.

Among the largest American grosses of 1960. The pleasure is a family that does the work.

The review

A family is wrecked on the way to New Guinea and decides the shore is now the home. The treehouse is famous because it is a pleasure to look at, and it is a pleasure for the right reason: they made it. The sons are given different kinds of work. The parents are not jokes. When the threat comes, it comes to the house they built, and they defend the house as a family rather than waiting for a uniform.

It is easier than survival is. I will not pretend the island is a documentary. I will put it on for a Saturday without a speech, and I will ask afterward which job in the treehouse nobody wanted and who did it. Disney's large gross of 1960. The gross is not why it stays. It stays because a household is shown as a thing you construct, including the parts that are dull.

Journal

Keep Swiss Family Robinson in the record.

Live Historic number 64. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Republic are the thin ones.

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.

Consider this

Paddington 2

76 instead of 64

Paddington 2 is still a adventure film, and it scores 76 instead of 64. What you gain is republic: A street, a prison, a judge: institutions that can still be kind.

The eight

8
Industry
They build the treehouse, the defenses, and the day, and the building is the story.
8
Household
A mother, a father, and three sons are the whole plot, and they stay a household.
4
Piety
Grace is said more by the work than by a speech, and the work is steady.
7
Courage
Pirates come. The family does not delegate the danger to a hero from off the island.
4
Republic
The public is the shore. They owe each other more than they owe any flag.
6
Temperance
Comfort is made, not delivered, and the film likes the making.
6
Truth
The island is easier than a real wreck would be. The work itself is not a lie.
8
Stewardship
A child can leave wanting to be useful, which is the right want from a shipwreck.

Pass it on

1917

64Watch it awake.

A message carried through a broken country. The courage is not the camera. The courage is the errand.

The review

Schofield is not chosen because he is special. He is chosen because he can run and because he has a brother in the line, which is a questionable reason for a general to use and an understandable one for a soldier to accept. The film's gamble is to stay with the body that has to cross the ground. When it becomes a stunt, it thins. When it stays an errand, it is about duty under a command that is not always worthy of the men.

Older teenagers and adults. Do not let the technique be the conversation. The conversation is a piece of paper that can save lives if a tired man will keep walking. Most of moral life is closer to that than to a speech.

Household and Piety are the thin ones.

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

Hacksaw Ridge

74 instead of 64

Hacksaw Ridge is still a war film, and it scores 74 instead of 64. What you gain is piety: Faith that costs a rank and a rifle.
