The Bad News Bears

56Watch it awake.

The kids are the pleasure. The coach is a drunk, so don't let them copy him.

The review

The parents want winning. Start there, because the film does. A washed-up, drinking pool cleaner is hired to coach a kids' team of misfits. He recruits a girl pitcher and a delinquent. The kids are the point. He is a bad example who sometimes does the job. The language is rough for a children's team, so the gloves do not make it a harmless Saturday.

Sit with them if you put it on. A girl who can pitch, among misfits, is a real pleasure, and the kids stay the point. The coach is the part you comment on. Drinking and doing the job in the same body is a confusing picture. Say which half you honor. Don't let the laughs sand the rest.

The glance

Piety and Temperance 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

Shabaash Mithu

66 instead of 56

Shabaash Mithu is still a sport film, and it scores 66 instead of 56. What you gain is temperance: Earnest, not lurid.

The eight

7
Industry
Coaching is the job he was hired for, and sometimes he actually does it.
7
Household
The kids are the point. Their parents mostly want a win.
4
Piety
He knows enough to help and not enough to stop being a bad example.
6
Courage
Misfit kids take the field, a girl pitcher included, under loud parents.
6
Republic
A town's parents owe the children more than the scoreboard they want.
3
Temperance
The coach drinks, and the rough mouth is played as part of the charm.
7
Truth
It will not pretend winning is the only thing, or that the coach is fine.
5
Stewardship
The kids get a team. They also get a man they might decide to imitate.

Avatar: The Way of Water

56Watch it awake.

The warning is the same as the first film. The water is not a warehouse either.

The review

The first film said a forest is not inventory. This one moves the same sentence underwater, and the sentence is still true. Jake's trouble is that the war he joined has children now, and a father who made himself a weapon does not get to retire from it when the next boat comes.

The spectacle is the product. Stay for the father who would rather the children learn the reef than learn his war, and notice the film cannot help spending them on the war anyway. Take the warning. Do not take the three hours of fire as the point.

Republic and Temperance are the thin ones.

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