1917

64Watch it awake.

A message carried through a broken country. The courage is not the camera. The courage is the errand.

The review

Schofield is not chosen because he is special. He is chosen because he can run and because he has a brother in the line, which is a questionable reason for a general to use and an understandable one for a soldier to accept. The film's gamble is to stay with the body that has to cross the ground. When it becomes a stunt, it thins. When it stays an errand, it is about duty under a command that is not always worthy of the men.

Older teenagers and adults. Do not let the technique be the conversation. The conversation is a piece of paper that can save lives if a tired man will keep walking. Most of moral life is closer to that than to a speech.

Journal

Keep 1917 in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 64. 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

Hacksaw Ridge

74 instead of 64

Hacksaw Ridge is still a war film, and it scores 74 instead of 64. What you gain is piety: Faith that costs a rank and a rifle.

The eight

7
Industry
A runner's job: keep the paper dry, keep moving, do not become the story.
4
Household
A brother in the other company is the private reason. The public reason is the sixteen hundred.
3
Piety
A song in a wood, a ruined town. Reverence flickers and is not a sermon.
9
Courage
He goes on after the man he came with is dead. The order still stands.
8
Republic
The plot is a chain of command that can save or waste a regiment. He is trying to make it save them.
6
Temperance
The single shot is a feat and a temptation. The dying is not a trick.
7
Truth
The attack is a mistake. Delivering that fact is the whole truth of the mission.
7
Stewardship
If he gets there, other men get a tomorrow. That is the only legacy the film is interested in.

Pass it on

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

64Watch it awake.

He keeps the stranger safe, and he does not keep him.

The review

This is the one where Elliott finds a little stranger and hides him in a house that already has a hole in it. He wants a friend bad; the film gets that want and still will not let it win, because E.T. has a home that is not this cul-de-sac and keeping him would exile the stranger.

The goodbye is the measure. A child can watch it. When it ends, say that loving someone is not the same as owning them. The government men are a cartoon of the real temptation to treat a life as a specimen because you can.
