The Adventures of Robin Hood

61Watch it awake.

A child can watch him take the tax back, and the film wants that justice simple.

The review

A child can follow this without a lecture first. Errol Flynn takes the tax money back and embarrasses a prince who is not the king. Marian, a sheriff, a band in the greenwood. I let a child watch the fights, and I did not linger on them. The justice is simple. The film wants it simple. That is a choice.

He takes the money back. I like that part better than the fights. A prince spending what he took from other people is the wrong that needs no speech. Put it on for a weekend afternoon. Say the simplicity out loud so a child doesn't think every fight is already fair just because the outlaw wins it.

The glance

Industry and Household are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

The Wizard of Oz

71 instead of 61

The Wizard of Oz is still a adventure film, and it scores 71 instead of 61. What you gain is household: Aunt Em and the farm are the true destination, not the consolation prize.

The eight

3
Industry
Robbery is the action, and nobody on screen is earning a living at a trade.
3
Household
Marian is part of the adventure, not a wife or a child with a life to run.
6
Piety
He will not serve a prince who takes the tax, and the film calls that right.
8
Courage
An outlaw risks the greenwood life to embarrass a prince who could hang him.
9
Republic
He takes the tax back for people a prince who is not the king was spending.
5
Temperance
The justice stays simple, and the fights are still there for a child to cheer.
7
Truth
The prince's tax is a taking, and handing it back is the promise kept.
8
Stewardship
What he leaves the people is their own tax money, put back in their hands.

Batman Begins

61Watch it awake.

Fear, a city, a training. The serious costume film, before the carnival. Worth an evening.

The review

Before the later films made a villain the attraction, this one was about a rich boy who is afraid and a city whose institutions have been bought. The teacher in the mountains offers a clean justice that would kill the city to save it. The refusal of that teacher is the moral event. A butler and a cop are the ordinary courage beside the costume.

Adults and older teens. It is a better evening than the spectacle that came after it in the genre. Ask what kind of fear is a tool and what kind is a teacher you should leave on the mountain.

Piety is the thin one.

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