Thunderball
33Leave it.
A bigger gadget than last time. The same license, and the same use of women.
Take controlThis scores 33. Thunderball cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it
The review
A warhead is missing and the service that missed it sends the same man. The scale is larger than the year before. The character is not. He is still the person a government has agreed not to judge, and the film agrees with the government. I am not going to list the women. They are used and replaced, and the replacement is the joke.
If Goldfinger already taught the house the lesson, this one does not add a new one. It adds water and a budget. Adults who want the machine can watch the machine and keep their judgment. A crowd in 1965 made it one of the largest grosses of the year. The gross is not a character reference. Leave it off a boy's education in what men are for.
Journal
Keep Thunderball in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 33. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth 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.
Consider this
North by Northwest
48 instead of 33
North by Northwest is still a thriller film, and it scores 48 instead of 33. What you gain is stewardship: You can inherit a man who stops being ornamental.
The eight
- 6Industry
He runs the mission, and the mission is competent, which is not the same as good.
- 2Household
No household. Women are issued with the equipment and written off the same way.
- 1Piety
A license stands where a conscience would have to answer.
- 6Courage
The underwater work is dangerous, and he does it because that is the assignment.
- 3Republic
Two governments and a bomb. The neighbor is whoever is standing in the set piece.
- 2Temperance
The film is an advertisement for appetite with a flag pinned on it.
- 4Truth
The bomb plot is the excuse. The lie is that this is what a capable man looks like.
- 2Stewardship
Nothing here is safe to hand a boy as a picture of adulthood.
