The Shape of Water

49Watch it awake.

The lonely are not nothing. The romance asks you to bless a desire the film has not examined. Adults, and divided.

The review

The film is right about the lab: a creature that can suffer is not a file, and the people who mop the floor see this before the men with the clearances. It is less right about the love, which it treats as self-justifying because the lovers are gentle and the villain is not. Gentleness is not the whole of a vow. A being who cannot enter a promise cannot be a spouse, and the film does not want that sentence.

Adults, if at all. Take the dignity of the unnoticed worker. Do not take the ending as a theology of desire. Beauty and loneliness are not a sacrament.

The glance

Household and Piety 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

Meet Joe Black

58 instead of 49

Meet Joe Black is still a fantasy film, and it scores 58 instead of 49. What you gain is household: A father and daughters at a real threshold.

The eight

7
Industry
Cleaning a lab is the work, and the film takes the cleaners more seriously than the colonels.
4
Household
Friendship among the overlooked: a neighbor, a coworker. The love is with a being who cannot speak a vow.
3
Piety
A biblical song in a kitchen. Reverence is aimed at the creature, not at a God.
7
Courage
She risks the job and the charge to get him out.
5
Republic
A cold-war lab, a black coworker, a gay neighbor. The public is the people the lab does not count.
3
Temperance
The desire is photographed as beauty. The question of what kind of love this is gets surrendered to the image.
6
Truth
The colonel is a liar and a sadist, and the film does not ask you to admire him.
4
Stewardship
What she wants to save is a life the state called a thing. Whether she is also using it is the part the ending will not touch.

Pass it on

American Sniper

49Watch it awake.

The skill is not the same thing as the war. Adults. The wife is the witness. Watch awake.

The review

A shepherd of men, in his own mind, looks through a scope and has to decide what a child in the street is holding. Those seconds are the serious part. The film is often more comfortable on the roof than in the kitchen, and the people on the other end of the shot are rarely given a kitchen at all.

Adults. Do not put it on as a recruitment poster or as a debunking. If you watch it, stay for the grocery store, where a man who was decisive cannot be. Ask what a country owes the person it trained to do this, and what it owes the rooms it never filmed.

The glance

Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

The Patriot

59 instead of 49

The Patriot is still a war film, and it scores 59 instead of 49. What you gain is household: He fights because they took his children, not because of a speech.
