The review

A Black servant, played by a white actor in blackface, stays loyal to a Confederate household through the war. Griffith, a reel, the lie in a small frame before the 1915 feature. A house can watch it and should say the makeup. I said it before the loyalty had time to look like a virtue. The loyalty is the Lost Cause. He would inflate this.

I won't score a faithful servant as mercy when the face is paint and the house held people as property. The work on screen is bondage, played as devotion. He is not given a self to owe, or a free neighbor, or a law that would end that house. What remains is a story built to grow. I won't help it.

Keep His Trust in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 16. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

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

Consider this

Dr. Strangelove

38 instead of 16

Dr. Strangelove is still a war film, and it scores 38 instead of 16. What you gain is truth: The inadequacy is the truth, and the film will not give you a competent savior.

The eight

2
Industry
The servant's labor is bondage, acted as loyalty in blackface.
3
Household
A Confederate household is what the loyal-slave plot exists to save.
1
Piety
The conscience on offer is loyalty to a slaveholding house.
2
Courage
Staying through the war is staged as courage and is the Lost Cause.

Republic
He is made to owe a Confederate house, not a neighbor or a free law.

Temperance
The reel asks you to admire the loyalty and to want that lie again.
1
Truth
Blackface and a loyal-slave story are the lie, before the 1915 feature.

Funny if you already live in the costume. Not for kids, and not a little church.

The review

People dressed for it. A newly engaged couple breaks down and enters a castle where a scientist from another planet is building a man. The songs became a midnight ritual. The joke is innocence walking into appetite and staying. If you are already inside that joke, it is funny. It is adult, and it is not for children.

They arrived engaged. The night does not hand that back. Staying is the punchline. I would not play this where a kid can hear the songs and decide the castle is the more interesting life. A ritual you dress up for is still a ritual, and this one is organized around wanting, not around getting anybody home.
