The Story of Louis Pasteur

63Watch it awake.

A tidy lesson about germs, and the method is the only reason to stay with it.

The review

Doctors of his day stand in the way, and the work is the lab. Paul Muni argues germs, anthrax, and a vaccine. Best actor, a tidy biopic, not a top rental, told as a lesson. A house can watch it. I was half gone on the couch and still followed. Nobody needs a chase. The colleagues are the obstacle. They are wrong, and the argument carries the night.

A clean story about a real fight can still be thin as a life. No wife and no child come with the lab, because that is not what they filmed. What they filmed is the method. If a child stays up, the useful part is how a claim gets tested, not the trophy on the shelf. I would put it on for the test. Fame is not the point. The vaccine is why a lesson this plain still earns the hour.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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.

Tenzing

78 instead of 63

Tenzing is still a biography film, and it scores 78 instead of 63. What you gain is household: Dawa sends him toward the attempt; the marriage sits inside the decision, not as a photo at base.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

63Watch it awake.

The punishments are the old book. The factory is colder than the 1971 film. Read it that way.

The review

Charlie is still the child who has a family and almost nothing else, and the ticket is still a test the other children fail in public. Willy is stranger here, and the flashbacks make his oddness a wound rather than a mystery. That is a choice. It explains him. It also risks teaching that genius is a loneliness the world should indulge. The book did not ask for that much sympathy.

Watch it if the house already knows the story and can say which child is which. The gum, the television, the greed, the spoiled demanding: those four are the lesson, and they are still true. Do not come away wishing to live in the factory. Come away glad Charlie had a grandfather who would go with him and a family to bring the prize home to.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

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