Cleopatra

The print is gone, so I will not pretend I watched Theda Bara's Cleopatra.

The review

I have not seen the 1917 Cleopatra, and I am not going to fake a viewing. Theda Bara as the queen. Fox, named among that year's draws. A spectacle of the vamp. The print is gone. This is not the 1934 picture and not the 1963 one. What survives is the reputation and the stills.

The country bought a body and a barge it can no longer see. That is as far as I will go. I will not invent a court, a speech, or an ending, and I will not send anyone to a screen that is not there. If the name comes up, say the print is lost. A still is not the film. A later queen is a different picture.

Journal

Keep Cleopatra in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 13. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

By Any Means

34 instead of 13

By Any Means is still a history film, and it scores 34 instead of 13. What you gain is courage: Nerve in the service of a dirty bargain.

The eight

2
Industry
What was sold was a body and a barge, not work a house can still see.
0
Household
No parent or child is in what survives, only a vamp's reputation.
2
Piety
The reputation that remains is the vamp, not a conscience I can check.
0
Courage
No risk is left to name; the 1917 print does not survive.
0
Republic
No city or law remains to see; Fox's print of Cleopatra is gone.
2
Temperance
The country bought a body and a barge, which is a want with nothing left.
3
Truth
Reputation and stills remain, and they are not a film you can test.
1
Stewardship
Nothing of the picture is left for a house to keep or to put on.

The review

Art is not a character. He is a permission slip for a lens that will not cut away. There is no household, no joke with a point, no dare that teaches a limit. The only skill on display is a refusal to be ashamed. That is not an art a house should pay for.

People will say it is only horror and you can look away. The film's whole method is that you do not look away. Decline it once, out loud, so a younger person hears that a strong stomach is not a virtue.
