The Man Who Would Be King
53Watch it awake.
The friendship earns the trip. Believing the worship is the sin.
The review
The sin has a name, which is more than most adventure films manage. Two former British soldiers march into Kafiristan to set themselves up as kings, using drill and nerve. One is taken for a god and starts to believe it. From Kipling. The competence is a pleasure right up until the worship. Letting people worship you is the wrong, and it is not local color.
Their friendship holds longer than the crown. Put it on for someone who likes a hard road and will not sulk when the road judges the travelers. Those people were not a kingdom the two men were owed. When the throne fails, what is left is the friend. Keep that order if you talk about it later.

The glance
Household and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship 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.
Consider this
Back to the Future
65 instead of 53
Back to the Future is still a adventure film, and it scores 65 instead of 53. What you gain is household: The plot is the parents' courtship.
The eight
- 6Industry
Drill and nerve are a soldier's real skills, and they use them to rule.
- 3Household
No family waits at home. The friendship is the only bond that holds.
- 7Piety
The film names the sin: he lets a people worship him, and believes it.
- 7Courage
They march in on skill alone, and belief in the worship risks the rest.
- 4Republic
They owe Kafiristan a truth and hand it a counterfeit king instead.
- 3Temperance
The crown and the worship pull him, and he does not put them down.
- 8Truth
A lie that he is a god starts to convince the liar, and the crown does not hold.
- 4Stewardship
The people are left with a fallen god. The friends outlast the throne.
