The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

56Watch it awake.

They go up the mountain for gold, and the gold eats the partnership on the way.

The review

I expected a gold hunt and got three Americans in the Mexican mountains coming apart. One of them wanted to be respectable. The gold becomes his. There are bandits. There is a village. The partnership is what the gold eats, and I believed that faster than I wanted to.

Then the gold is blown away. Good. I don't want anybody here memorizing a line about badges and calling that the movie. Adults who've watched a pile change a friend will know the coming apart. Put it on when someone starts saying more money will make him more loyal.

The glance

Household and Piety and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Ben-Hur

70 instead of 56

Ben-Hur is still a adventure film, and it scores 70 instead of 56. What you gain is piety: The story turns when revenge is not the last word he is willing to live by.

The eight

8
Industry
Three men do the hard work of getting gold out of a mountain.
2
Household
No marriage or child is a life here; three partners are the whole bond.
4
Piety
He wanted to be respectable, and that want does not stop the gold.
7
Courage
They risk the mountains and the bandits, then they risk one another.
5
Republic
Partners owe each other a share, with bandits and a village nearby.
7
Temperance
The gold becomes his, the partnership is eaten, and the gold blows away.
8
Truth
The promise among the three fails once the gold is treated as his alone.

Stewardship
The gold is blown away, and neither the men nor the village keep it.

Avatar: The Way of Water

56Watch it awake.

The warning is the same as the first film. The water is not a warehouse either.

The review

The first film said a forest is not inventory. This one moves the same sentence underwater, and the sentence is still true. Jake's trouble is that the war he joined has children now, and a father who made himself a weapon does not get to retire from it when the next boat comes.

The spectacle is the product. Stay for the father who would rather the children learn the reef than learn his war, and notice the film cannot help spending them on the war anyway. Take the warning. Do not take the three hours of fire as the point.

Republic and Temperance are the thin ones.

Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

68 instead of 56

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is still a adventure film, and it scores 68 instead of 56. What you gain is republic: An empire, a rebellion, a council that is afraid to act.
