For His Son

49Watch it awake.

A father laces a soda for the money, and his own son is who it takes.

The review

Griffith made a reel in 1912 about a father who puts cocaine in a soda so the drink will sell. It becomes a hit. His own son is the one it takes. The money is the motive. I will not narrate the habit. A teen can watch it if you stay in the room.

The household pays for a sale the father chose. That is the sting, and it does not need a speech from me. I kept thinking how small a business idea looks until the one it takes is a son. If the week has been all work and no attention, this reel is a blunt correction. Say the money was the motive, then turn it off.

Journal

Keep For His Son in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 49. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Courage and Republic and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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.

Consider this

Secondhand Lions

61 instead of 49

Secondhand Lions is still a drama film, and it scores 61 instead of 49. What you gain is stewardship: The speech is the part to memorize, if you mean to live it.

American Sniper

49Watch it awake.

The skill is not the same thing as the war. Adults. The wife is the witness. Watch awake.

The review

A shepherd of men, in his own mind, looks through a scope and has to decide what a child in the street is holding. Those seconds are the serious part. The film is often more comfortable on the roof than in the kitchen, and the people on the other end of the shot are rarely given a kitchen at all.

Adults. Do not put it on as a recruitment poster or as a debunking. If you watch it, stay for the grocery store, where a man who was decisive cannot be. Ask what a country owes the person it trained to do this, and what it owes the rooms it never filmed.
