The Truman Show

66Worth an evening.

Keep it. A life arranged for an audience is not a life. He is right to leave.

The review

Truman Burbank is loved as a product. His wife delivers lines. His best friend is paid to stay. The film is gentle about the horror and exact about the point: a man who has been kept safe, famous, and false would rather risk the ocean than remain a character. Christof calls the cage a mercy. It is a studio.

Watch it with anyone old enough to feel the difference between being known and being viewed. The laugh at the commercials is allowed. The last walk is the scene to keep. A household is not a set, and a neighbor who is only there for the shot is not a neighbor.

Journal

Keep The Truman Show in the record.

Live Historic number 66. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety 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

Babe

73 instead of 66

Babe is still a drama film, and it scores 73 instead of 66. What you gain is industry: The work of herding, practiced.

The eight

5
Industry
He has a job and a route. Both were written for him. The real work starts when he stops hitting the mark.
4
Household
A marriage that is a contract with the network. His mother is a cue.
4
Piety
Awe at the edge of the dome, not a creed. The creator in the sky is a director, and the film does not bow.
9
Courage
He sails into the fear they built to keep him in.
7
Republic
A town of actors is a tyranny with good weather. He refuses the part.
7
Temperance
The appetite is the audience's, including yours. The film makes you notice you are watching.
9
Truth
The whole plot is a man demanding the truth about his own life.
8
Stewardship
What he wants to hand himself is an unrecorded day.

ParaNorman

66Worth an evening.

Fear faced by understanding, not by a spear. Good for a child who can take a ghost.

The review

Norman is bullied for a gift that is mostly the willingness to hear. The town prefers a mob and a story about a witch. The film's turn, that the cursed child was a frightened child and the curse was the town's, is the right turn. It does not ask you to pretend the dead are cute from the first minute. It asks you to stop the torch.

Some of the jokes are ruder than the fable needs. The fable holds. A house can watch it near Halloween and come out less eager to chant at the odd boy. That is a rare result for a cartoon with zombies.

Industry is the thin one.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

The Peanuts Movie

74 instead of 66

The Peanuts Movie is still a animation film, and it scores 74 instead of 66. What you gain is industry: He studies, he practices the dance, he does the assignment.
