The Guns of Navarone

54Watch it awake.

A mission picture. The men are the interest, and the guns are not a personality.

The review

Two guns in a cliff are going to sink the ships sent for a trapped force, so a small team is sent to climb and destroy them. The climb is the pleasure, and it is a physical pleasure the film earns. What keeps it from being only a pleasure is the quarrel inside the team: what you may do to a comrade, what you owe the men on the beach, and who is lying. Those arguments are the picture. The explosion is the ending they paid for.

I would not call it a great film about war. I would call it a good one about a job with a body count and a reason. Older boys will want the climb. Stay with them through the argument about the prisoner, and do not let the explosion retire the argument. A large gross of 1961. The gross is the climb. The number is the quarrel.

Journal

Keep The Guns of Navarone in the record.

Live Historic number 54. Yours can differ.

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?

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

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

68 instead of 54

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is still a war film, and it scores 68 instead of 54. What you gain is stewardship: They hand the future to people who will never know their names.

The eight

8
Industry
Climbing, demolition, and a plan that keeps failing are the work of the night.
2
Household
No household. Letters from home are not the same as a life on screen.
3
Piety
Conscience shows up as a quarrel about a prisoner, not as a prayer.
8
Courage
They go up the cliff because the ships will not survive the guns, which is a reason.
6
Republic
The debt is to the men waiting on the beach who cannot climb anything.
5
Temperance
The scale is large and the film enjoys the scale, and it still cares who breaks.
6
Truth
A traitor and a hard choice are played as facts, not as twists for their own sake.
5
Stewardship
You can inherit the quarrel about what a mission is allowed to do.

Pass it on

Aang

54Watch it awake.

The original measure stands: a child is not only a weapon. This poster has not earned a new score.

The review

Aang, in the story people love, runs from a duty and then picks it up without becoming cruel. Friends are not a squad. The enemy is an empire, and the answer is not a prettier empire. A new picture with his name on it can keep that or spend it. The tile shows the name and a Paramount mark.

Do not give the new film the old affection for free. Watch twenty minutes. If the boy is a brand and the bending is the product, you already have the series, which did the harder thing. If he is still the one who will not win by murder, stay.

Journal

Keep Aang in the record.

Industry is the thin one.

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

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train

65 instead of 54

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is still a animation film, and it scores 65 instead of 54. What you gain is courage: He stays when the dream offers him his family back.
