Gandhi

71Worth an evening.

Watch the discipline, and remember the country was larger than the film.

The review

He will not answer a blow with a blow. That is the fact the film keeps, from South Africa through the salt march to the day his own side's rage kills him. Nonviolence is shown as a discipline, not a mood. A biopic has to simplify a country, and this one does. I still knew what it was asking me to practice.

I would show it to an older child who can sit with a long life and a death that is not a triumph. The work is public: marches, a people, a man who will not defend them by hitting back. The house is not the story. You leave with a method, and with the knowledge that rage from his own side can still kill the man who refused the fist. The film does not pretend the country was simple.

Journal

Keep Gandhi in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 71. 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

To Kill a Mockingbird

81 instead of 71

To Kill a Mockingbird is still a drama film, and it scores 81 instead of 71. What you gain is household: A father raising children in public.

A people, a march, and a law are the field, even though the film simplifies them.

Temperance
Retaliation is put down on purpose, again and again, not once for show.

Truth
The refusal of the blow holds; the biopic still simplifies a whole country.

Stewardship
A discipline remains after his death, beside the rage that took him.

Black Panther

71Worth an evening.

A nation owes the people it hid from. A king still has to keep the nation.

The review

Killmonger is not a twist. He is what happens when a nation saves itself and leaves a child in the other place. T'Challa's answer is not to hand him the weapons. It is to stop pretending the border was innocent, and still not to burn the country down to pay for it.

Watch the argument, not only the suit. A house can ask the same question at a smaller size: whom did we leave outside, and what will we open without giving the place away.
