Henry V

50Watch it awake.

Olivier's king invades France in color, because Britain wanted its nerve in 1944.

The review

Olivier plays Shakespeare's king and directs the picture. The invasion of France, the chorus, and the speeches belong to the play, so don't thank the film for writing them. Color. Dedicated to the troops then crossing the channel. A house can watch it. I let the older kids see the battles and did not talk over them. It is a battle film with a chorus, made for 1944.

Britain wanted stiffening, and you can feel that purpose on the picture. The men in the dedication were not props. The king is still invading someone else's country. You get nerve, and very little about whatever house the invasion walks into. I would put it on for the play. I would not put it on looking for a family, because the family is not there.

Keep Henry V in the record.

Live Historic number 50. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

The Longest Day

65 instead of 50

The Longest Day is still a history film, and it scores 65 instead of 50. What you gain is stewardship: A house can inherit the cost of the boats, which is the right memory of that morning.

The eight

6
Industry
The king's work is the invasion, and playing the king is Olivier's job.
2
Household
A crown and an army are on screen, not a marriage or a child.
3
Piety
Made to stiffen a country, not to let a doubt stop the invasion.
8
Courage
He invades France, and the film is dedicated to men crossing the channel.
7
Republic
The dedication is to troops of a country the king claims to serve.
4
Temperance
Color and battle keep offering the next charge rather than a stop.
6
Truth
The speeches are the play's, and the dedication admits why it was made.
4
Stewardship
Britain is who the film stiffens; France is the country being invaded.

10 Things I Hate About You

50Watch it awake.

The bet is the sin. The poem is the repair. Older teens, with the bet named.

The review

Someone is paid to take the difficult sister out so the younger one can be dated. That is a use of a person, and the film knows it before it decides to be charming about it. Kat is not a problem to be solved. She is a girl with a standard, some of it pride and some of it sense. The poem works because it is specific and public and ashamed. A romance that ends on a confession is better than one that ends on a wink.

The Shakespeare underneath is a harsh play. This softens it into a high school, which is a mercy, and keeps the money, which is the part you have to say out loud so a teenager does not learn that being purchased is a meet-cute.

The Princess Bride

64 instead of 50

The Princess Bride is still a comedy film, and it scores 64 instead of 50. What you gain is industry: A quest with chores: the cliffs, the fight, the pit.
