Pass it on

Blackboard Jungle

64Watch it awake.

A teacher stays in a school that refuses the work, and the opening already picked fights.

The review

He takes the job. That is the part I keep. A teacher walks into a city school where the class tests him and does not want the work. A colleague is cynical. Violence is already in the building, including a threat against a woman. I will not describe it. A record over the credits started fights in some theaters. The teacher stays. Adult.

Staying is what I trust. The heat around it I do not. A picture that started fights in theaters is a bad thing to leave on so a house can feel serious about schools. Do not show it to a child who has to walk into class in the morning. If you watch, watch for the man who does not quit, not for the noise that sold the tickets.

Journal

Keep Blackboard Jungle in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 64. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Temperance 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

12 Angry Men

75 instead of 64

12 Angry Men is still a drama film, and it scores 75 instead of 64. What you gain is temperance: Temper against the rush.

Pass it on

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.
