Carmen

39Leave it.

Farrar will not be owned, the ending is the opera's, and it is not Chaplin's joke.

Take controlThis scores 39. Carmen cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

Leave the Chaplin burlesque of the same year on the shelf. This is Geraldine Farrar and DeMille, a hit on his books, the opera's story without the songs. A soldier, and a woman who will not be owned. A house can watch it. The ending is the opera's. Not a later talking Carmen. I'd say that once so nobody hunts a gag that isn't in the reel.

She will not be owned. That refusal is what the story will not drop, and his post is what gets spent against it. This does not hand you a marriage. Appetite runs the evening, and a soldier's promise does not hold. A house that already knows the opera can stand the ending without a song. It is a tragedy they have met, not a joke and not advice on how to stay.

Journal

Keep Carmen in the record.

Live Historic number 39. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

The Devil Wears Prada

51 instead of 39

The Devil Wears Prada is still a drama film, and it scores 51 instead of 39. What you gain is industry: The office is work: deadlines, competence, a boss who can tell when you have not tried.

The eight

5
Industry
He is a soldier, and that post is set against a woman who will not be owned.
3
Household
No marriage is built; the opera's ending is kept, and it is not a home.
3
Piety
Duty does not stop him, and the picture does not pretend a conscience wins.
5
Courage
She refuses to be owned; he risks the soldier's place he already had.
4
Republic
A soldier owes his post; this story is what happens when that debt loses.
3
Temperance
Wanting her is the engine, and the picture does not put that want down.
5
Truth
Her refusal to be owned holds; his promise does not, and the ending is the opera's.
3
Stewardship
You leave with the opera's ending and no song, not a life anyone gets to keep.

Deliverance

39Leave it.

They wanted a wild weekend, and the film never gives that weekend back.

The review

Four suburban men wanted a last wild weekend on a river a dam is about to bury. They got a trip they were not built for. The river was the point, and then it was not. One of them is changed in a way the film does not heal. That refusal to tidy the ending is the honest part.

Adult. Do not describe the assault, and do not make a contest out of who can sit through it. The dam was already going to spend the river for people who do not live on it. One of them carries that change home. If someone in the room goes quiet, stay with that, not the canoe.

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

The Manchurian Candidate

46 instead of 39

The Manchurian Candidate is still a thriller film, and it scores 46 instead of 39. What you gain is industry: The army and the campaign are work, shown as institutions that can be used.
