The review

A white trader in Africa, a mission, a lost woman, and animals, shot partly on the continent. A large gross, named with Frankenstein and City Lights among that year's money. A teen can watch it. I allowed that, and I refused the lesson the trek wants to be.

The continent is the sell. It is not a portrait of the people who live there. The danger is the product. I won't turn animals or peril into a judgment of anybody who lives there. A mission in the frame does not make the expedition a true account. Say that before a teen has already been sold the map.

Live Historic number 28. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage 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

Iron Man 2

40 instead of 28

Iron Man 2 is still a adventure film, and it scores 40 instead of 28. What you gain is truth: The father's reel is a late truth.

The eight

5
Industry
A white trader's work is the trek, and the danger is the product.
2
Household
A mission and a lost woman, and neither becomes a household here.
3
Piety
A mission is in the frame, and the sell is still the continent.
4
Courage
The danger is the product, so the risk is the thing being sold.
2
Republic
Not a portrait of the people who live there, so neighbors do not count.
2
Temperance
The continent is the sell, and the danger trains the next peril.
2
Truth
Shot partly in Africa, and still not a portrait of who lives there.
2
Stewardship
What's left is an expedition thrill, not the people who live there.

American Beauty

The household is rotting, and the picture is too pleased to watch. Adults. Not a liberation.

The review

The film is right that a house can become a catalog and a silence. It is wrong about the cure. A man chasing a feeling, and a plastic bag offered as transcendence, is not a repair. A daughter lives in the house while the film calls his restlessness honesty.

Adults. If you saw it in its year and called it brave, look again at who the bravery costs. The table was the place to begin. He begins with himself and calls it beauty.
