The review
Edwin S. Porter parodied his own hit by handing the robbery to children and a miniature train. A child can watch it. The joke is that the big robbery has become a game. I got the joke. I also got the second half of the fact: the crime is still the game.
There is nothing mean in a child watching a toy holdup. There is also nothing else in the picture. Children play the bandits. The train is miniature. That's the joke Porter sold in 1905. Name it as a game of theft, or the size will do the excusing for you.

The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship 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 Good, the Bad and the Ugly
35 instead of 25
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is still a western film, and it scores 35 instead of 25. What you gain is courage: They walk into gunfights for a share.
The eight
- 2Industry
No one works; children play at robbing a miniature train.
- 3Household
Children are the cast of a parody, not a family life.
- 2Piety
No conscience stops the game, because the game is the point.
- 2Courage
The risk is pretend, a hit scaled down to a child's size.
- 2Republic
The big robbery's law becomes a game nobody has to answer.
- 2Temperance
You are trained to enjoy the theft once it looks like play.
- 5Truth
It is honest that Porter's own hit has been turned into a game.
- 2Stewardship
What it leaves a child is the crime, still played as fun.
