As Seen Through a Telescope

It's a minute of a man staring at an ankle, and the kick doesn't unsell it.

The review

A man looks at an ankle through a telescope. Smith, 1900. The close-up is what he paid the look for. A boy kicks him for it. A teen can watch it. The peep is the product. It runs about a minute, and the minute is spent on the look.

The kick is in the story and still not the thing they sold. I don't have a word the boy says, and I won't make one. The person with the ankle was owed not to be the show. If a teen is in the room, name the peep before you praise how close the picture gets. I was too worn out to call a kick a full apology.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Everyone Is Lying to You for Money

38 instead of 26

Everyone Is Lying to You for Money is still a comedy film, and it scores 38 instead of 26. What you gain is industry: The subject is the work of selling.

The eight

1
Industry
Nobody works; the minute is a look he paid the close-up for.
2
Household
A boy kicks him, and still no marriage or child is a life here.
4
Piety
A boy kicks the look, which is a stop, and the peep was the product.
3
Courage
The boy kicks a man for the ankle, a small risk with a point.
4
Republic
The ankle belonged to someone who was owed not to be the show.
2
Temperance
The peep is the product, a want the close-up is built to feed.
3
Truth
The close-up is the ankle he looked for; the telescope was for that.
2
Stewardship
A minute remains, and what it spent itself on was the peep.

A best picture. The training is the rot, and the marriage at the end does not redeem the school.

The review

It won the best picture of its year, and the award does not change the curriculum. A grandmother and an aunt are training a young woman in Paris to be the mistress of a rich man: how to choose jewels, how to behave at the table, how to be expensive. The young man who has been wandering through other such arrangements decides he wants this one, and the happy ending is that he marries her instead. The film expects the marriage to retire the question.

It does not. The school was the story, and the school is a preparation of a girl for a man's use. The songs are lovely and the loveliness is the danger, because loveliness is how the curriculum gets past a room. I would not put it on for a young woman as a charming antique. If adults watch it as history, say what the aunt was actually teaching before the last waltz. The last waltz is not a pardon.
