The review

A teen can watch this. A younger child should not. Paul Robeson plays a convict posing as a preacher, and the cloth is a disguise for a crook. Micheaux made it. Not a Hollywood gross. The cast is all Black because that is the cinema he could make. I won't file that under trivia while the pulpit is a lie.

The faith of the room is real. The man standing in it is a fraud. Nothing in the borrowed collar stops him. What those people brought was belief, and what he brought was the con. Robeson's name is not a reason to soften that. Adult enough for a teen who can keep the word fraud.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

The eight

2
Industry
The pulpit is a disguise, not the work of a real preacher.
3
Household
No marriage or child is named; the room of believers is the circle.
3
Piety
The room's faith is real, and it does not stop the man in the cloth.
3
Courage
The convict risks the disguise; the room does not know the risk.
6
Republic
A whole room trusts a preacher, and Micheaux's film sat outside Hollywood.
6
Temperance
The picture names the con instead of teaching you to enjoy it.
8
Truth
The cloth is a lie, and the man in the pulpit is a convict.
3
Stewardship
What the people brought was faith, and a crook spent it.

Casino Royale

The poker is craft. The lesson they want is a hardening. Adults, and do not applaud the hardening.

The review

This is the Bond film that remembers a job is a series of choices with bodies attached. The card game is wonderful craft: reading a face, managing a sum, staying when you are losing. That part could teach a teenager something about nerve.

Then the education is completed by a woman's death, so the brand can have its armor back. Do not call that grown-up. Call it the old machine restarting. Watch the table if you watch it. Refuse the moral they wrote on her grave.
