The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

73Worth an evening.

The burden and the return are the story. The battle is long. Worth the evening.

The review

The decade bought this in numbers that still look like a misprint, and the reason was not only the armies. A person who is not a warrior carries the one thing that must be destroyed, and he cannot do it as a hero. He does it as a friend who is about to fail, and the friend will not let him fail alone.

The battles are the scale the studio paid for. Stay for the mountain and for the moment a king remembers he is a healer before he is a sword. It is long. It is not a child's first fantasy. It is one of the few popular films of these years that thinks an ending should cost.

Journal

Keep The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 73. Yours can differ.

The glance

Temperance is the thin one.

Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

81 instead of 73

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is still a fantasy film, and it scores 81 instead of 73. What you gain is temperance: The Ring is the want for power.

The eight

7
Industry
They walk, they fight, they keep a watch. The work is endurance more than glory.
7
Household
A fellowship that will not abandon the one who is failing. Home is the aim.
7
Piety
He cannot carry it alone, and something beyond him finishes what he cannot.
9
Courage
The courage is the next step up the mountain, not the charge on the field.
7
Republic
A city, a steward, a king who has to earn the gate.
5
Temperance
The battles are enormous. The film knows which one is the true ending.
8
Truth
Power is a corruption you can see on a face. It does not call the corruption strength.
8
Stewardship
What they want to leave is a home that can be lived in, and a ship that is an ending.

Babe

73Worth an evening.

Keep it. Vocation is not breed. Kindness gets the sheep to move.

The review

Farmer Hoggett is a quiet man who bets his reputation on a pig. That bet is the film's courage, and it is not loud. Babe's method, asking rather than biting, is a picture of authority that does not need humiliation. The sheep are not props. The cat is a snob and the film knows it. There is a darkness under the charm, the way a farm is actually a place where animals die, and the story does not fully hide it.

A child can watch this and understand competence as a form of love. When Hoggett says the kind sentence to the pig, the room should be quiet. That sentence is worth more than a speech about believing in yourself.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

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

It's a Wonderful Life

85 instead of 73

It's a Wonderful Life is still a drama film, and it scores 85 instead of 73. What you gain is piety: Prayer is not a joke here.
