Pass it on

Camille

63Watch it awake.

The love is real, she gives him up, and this is not for a child.

The review

Quiet house, and still not a child's romance. A Paris courtesan, and a young man with a family that can be ruined by her. She gives him up. She is ill. Greta Garbo, Robert Taylor. Adult. I'm not describing the sex. The illness is the end. A well-known hit, not the year's largest.

The love is real, and the life she was living could not hold it. I didn't need a speech about how noble the giving up is. It is the act. The illness is not a style. His family is who she refuses to wreck. I wouldn't put this on a list for the kids. Adults can sit with a love that does not get to stay.

The glance

Industry and Republic are the thin ones.

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

Little Women

75 instead of 63

Little Women is still a romance film, and it scores 75 instead of 63. What you gain is industry: Writing, teaching, keeping a poor house.

Pass it on

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

63Watch it awake.

The punishments are the old book. The factory is colder than the 1971 film. Read it that way.

The review

Charlie is still the child who has a family and almost nothing else, and the ticket is still a test the other children fail in public. Willy is stranger here, and the flashbacks make his oddness a wound rather than a mystery. That is a choice. It explains him. It also risks teaching that genius is a loneliness the world should indulge. The book did not ask for that much sympathy.

Watch it if the house already knows the story and can say which child is which. The gum, the television, the greed, the spoiled demanding: those four are the lesson, and they are still true. Do not come away wishing to live in the factory. Come away glad Charlie had a grandfather who would go with him and a family to bring the prize home to.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
