Chariots of Fire

76Worth an evening.

Keep it. A Sabbath kept is not a small thing beside a gold medal.

The review

Abrahams runs against a snobbery that is real, and his pride is also real. Liddell runs as a form of praise, and when the heat is set on Sunday he will not budge. The film does not treat that as a neurosis. It treats it as a man who knows who he is when the committee is waiting. Competition is given its joy. It is not given the last word.

A house that thinks faith is a private hobby can watch this and be corrected without a lecture. The lecture is the calendar. Some hours are not for sale.

Journal

Keep Chariots of Fire in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 76. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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

A Man for All Seasons

89 instead of 76

A Man for All Seasons is still a drama film, and it scores 89 instead of 76. What you gain is household: He loves his house and still will not buy it with a lie.

October Sky

76Worth an evening.

Keep it. Work, a teacher, a father, and a son who does not despise the mine he refuses.

The review

Homer Hickam wants the sky in a town that measures a man by the shift. The film is excellent because it does not make the father a villain for loving the mine, or the son a saint for leaving it. Miss Riley sees him. The friends build the thing, fail, and build it again. That is industry with a face. The union, the strike, the black dust are not scenery. They are the life the dream is arguing with, and the argument stays filial.

A boy can watch this and come away wanting to do his homework. There are worse results. Say, at the end, that the teacher who stayed late is as much the hero as the rocket.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

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

A Man for All Seasons

89 instead of 76

A Man for All Seasons is still a drama film, and it scores 89 instead of 76. What you gain is piety: Faith is the center, and it is not a mood.

The eight

10
Industry
The rockets are practice, scrap, and more practice.
8
Household
A hard father, a loyal mother, a son who comes back.
4
Piety
No sermon. A real awe at the work.
8
Courage
He keeps launching after the town laughs.
7
Republic
A company town, a union, a public that has opinions.
7
Temperance
Ambition governed by craft.
8
Truth
The mine is not slandered to make the dream pretty.
9
Stewardship
It hands a young person the habit of trying the thing again.
