Keep it. A marriage told in ten minutes, and an old man who still has a duty to the living child.
The review
The opening marriage is one of the few popular stretches of this century that tells the truth about a life: work, a miscarriage, a shared chair, a death. Everything after is in danger of being a cartoon chase, and some of it is. What saves it is that Carl's duty migrates. The promise to a dead wife is real, and it is not a permission to abandon a living boy who followed him because no one else would pin the badge.
Watch it as a house. Do not talk over the first ten minutes. After, ask who in your life you are faithful to in a way that has made you useless to the people still in the room. Carl's correction is available to anyone with a porch.

The glance
Republic is the thin one.
Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?

The eight
- 7Industry
A balloon man, a construction job he loses, a house he maintains. Work is a life, not a montage only.
- 10Household
The marriage is the film. Ellie dies, and the house is grief. Russell is the child the grief has to make room for.
- 5Piety
A promise treated as sacred. Wilderness as wonder. No church, and the vow still binds.
- 8Courage
He goes on, old, ridiculous, and then he goes back for the boy.
- 4Republic
Almost no town. A scout badge is the civic leftover, and it matters.
- 7Temperance
Adventure is the temptation. The film puts it down in favor of the porch.
- 8Truth
The adventure book was full because the marriage was the adventure. He has to read that.
- 9Stewardship
He hands the boy a badge and a presence. The house lands. The dead are honored by caring for the living.
