Gettysburg

Name: Gettysburg scores 74 — Live Historic
Item: Gettysburg
Rating: 74

74Worth an evening.

The battle as a duration, not a trailer. Sit through it once if you want the country this desk is talking about.

Pass it on

The review

It is four hours because the battle was three days, and the length is the point. Chamberlain's men on the left are out of ammunition and use the bayonet. Pickett's charge is a long walk into a fact. The film loves the soldiers of both armies and is clearest when it lets them say what they think they are dying for. Slavery sits under the Confederate speeches even when the speaker would rather talk about home.

A teenager can watch it with you, in more than one sitting. Do not put on a shorter war movie and tell yourself you have done this. The charge at the end is to know the place, and to refuse any politics that needs these men as costumes.

Journal

Keep Gettysburg in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 74. 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

Taking Chance

81 instead of 74

Taking Chance is still a war film, and it scores 81 instead of 74. What you gain is household: The corporal's family is the house at the end of the road.

The eight

7
Industry
Soldiering is shown as waiting, walking, and a line that has to hold.
5
Household
The letters and the wives are at the edge. The brotherhood is the household the film trusts.
6
Piety
Men pray and mean different things by it. The film lets them.
9
Courage
The walk into the field, and the defense of the hill, are courage with the cost left in.
9
Republic
The argument of the war is in the mouths of the officers, and it is not treated as embarrassment.
7
Temperance
The violence is the battle. It is not decorated.
8
Truth
Both armies are allowed their reasons. The film does not flatter either into innocence.
8
Stewardship
What it hands a house is the dead at a scale a speech cannot shrink.

Arrival

74Worth an evening.

Understanding is the work. She says yes to a child she will lose. That yes is the film.

Pass it on

The review

Louise's profession is the unfashionable one: sit with a sentence until it means what the speaker meant, not what you feared. The generals want a weapon. The film thinks a grammar is more dangerous and more useful than a weapon, because a grammar changes what you are able to choose. When she sees the whole of her life with her daughter, including the end, she does not flinch into a safer timeline.

Adults, and teenagers who can be quiet. This is one of the few popular films of the decade that treats knowledge as a moral act. Watch it when the house is tempted to answer before it has understood.
