The Sound of Music

78Worth an evening.

A house, a vow, and a border they will not hand their children across.

The review

The hills are what people remember, and they are the invitation. The film earns its keep after the wedding, when a father will not give his house to a government that wants the boys in uniform. A vow and a border, in that order.

Sing if you want. Do not leave before they climb. The question to ask on the way out is which order this house would not follow, and which children the answer is for.

Journal

Keep The Sound of Music in the record.

The Bailey house filed 80. A house that sings and then leaves. Worth the length.

Live Historic number 78. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry is the thin one.

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.

The eight

6
Industry
The captain's house is run like a ship until someone has to actually raise the children.
9
Household
A marriage in earnest, and seven children who are the stake of the last reel.
8
Piety
The abbey is a real place with a real rule. She is not mocking it when she leaves.
8
Courage
They walk out rather than wear the armband. The songs were the easy part.
8
Republic
A country asks for their sons. They refuse. That is the civic act.
7
Temperance
The music is joy, and it is not the master. When the regime arrives, they stop performing.
8
Truth
The captain will not lie about what the flag means. The engagement that was convenient is broken in daylight.
8
Stewardship
The children are gotten over the mountains. That is the inheritance.

Spirited Away

78Worth an evening.

Keep it for an older child. Greed is the danger. Remembering who people are is the rescue.

The review

Chihiro does not win by being chosen. She wins by showing up to a hard, humiliating job and by not forgetting her parents when forgetting would be easier. The bathhouse is a brilliant picture of an economy that eats. No-Face is what a loneliness becomes when it is fed every thing it points at. Yubaba steals names because a person without a name will work forever. The film is pagan, crowded, and more morally serious than most films that advertise a lesson.

Not for the very small. Right for a child who is ready to hear that appetite can change a face, and that work and memory can change it back.

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 78

It's a Wonderful Life is still a fantasy film, and it scores 85 instead of 78. What you gain is piety: He prays when he is out of answers.
