Coal Miner's Daughter

75Worth an evening.

Put it on if you want the career and the marriage in the same life.

The review

Butcher Hollow comes first, then a mine, then the road, then a stage. Loretta Lynn writes what she knows, and the actress sings it, which keeps the songs from turning into costumes. The marriage starts too young and lasts. I kept waiting for the career to erase the husband and the house. The film does not do that.

Show it to teenagers who think a gift has to cost a family. It is a work story and a marriage story in the same hour. She does not become a person with no town behind her. You leave with a woman who told the life she actually had, and a house that is still standing when the applause is over. That is rarer than the poster.

Journal

Keep Coal Miner's Daughter in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 75. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

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

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

12 Angry Men

75Worth an evening.

Keep it. A room, a reasonable doubt, and the courage to be the first no.

The review

Eleven men want the afternoon back. The twelfth wants the testimony walked through, because a life is not a schedule. The film is a whole civics lesson in one sweatbox: prejudice with a smile, prejudice with a shout, and the slow work of looking at a knife and a train schedule until the story the state told no longer holds. Nobody is romanticized for being angry. The quiet man is not a saint. He is simply unwilling to be rushed into a killing.

A teenager should see this before they see another thriller about a genius detective. Justice here looks like staying in the chair. That is a picture this house can use.

The glance

Household and Piety are the thin ones.

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

To Kill a Mockingbird

81 instead of 75

To Kill a Mockingbird is still a drama film, and it scores 81 instead of 75. What you gain is household: A father raising children in public.
