Things to Come

40Leave it.

The war that will not end is the part I trust; the rocket is a sermon.

The review

War starts in 1940 and does not end. A plague follows. Then a city of engineers, a mob that hates the next machine, and a rocket. Raymond Massey, for Wells and Korda. British, and not a Hollywood rental leader. An older child can watch it. I said, before the future looked clean, that the progress is a sermon. The endless war is the part that lasts. I am not describing wounds.

That sermon wants the machine after this one. The mob is there so hatred of the machine can look foolish. I do not buy the lecture. What I believed was the war that refused to stop. An older child can see the engineers if you call the city an argument. I was too spent for a prophecy. I trusted the war that would not end, not the rocket they send up to prove a point.

Keep Things to Come in the record.

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.

The Last House

49 instead of 40

The Last House is still a science fiction film, and it scores 49 instead of 40. What you gain is household: A mother, a father, and children who cannot leave.

Armageddon

40Leave it.

A father and a crew. The world-ending is a fireworks show. The sacrifice is asserted, not earned.

The review

Rough men who can do a physical thing are sent to do it in space because the polished men cannot. That is a populist feeling the film is not wrong to have. A father who has been absent tries to bless a marriage before he dies. Those are human scraps.

The scraps are tied to a firework. You will be told when to cry. You do not have to. If the house wants a film about a crew and a real cost, Private Ryan is the adult one and Apollo stories exist. This is a cheer. Leave it.

The glance

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

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

Doctor Strange

50 instead of 40

Doctor Strange is still a action film, and it scores 50 instead of 40. What you gain is temperance: His ego is the subject.
