Joan of Arc

A theater pageant of Joan in armor, and the faith is what Méliès sold.

The review

Armor, painted halls, and the stake. Méliès makes a pageant of Joan, not one of the later films, and the sets are a theater. A teen can watch it. I am not lingering on the fire, and I don't want the younger ones taking that end as a show.

The faith is the sell. You can see why he reached for her: a girl, a war, a belief. What we get is a famous outline in costumes. We can say who she was after, in a few plain sentences, and then put the reel away.

Journal

Keep Joan of Arc in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 41. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household 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

Argo

53 instead of 41

Argo is still a history film, and it scores 53 instead of 41. What you gain is industry: A cover story has to be built: names, calls, a fake movie.

The eight

4
Industry
The armor marks a soldier's work, played on sets that stay a theater.
2
Household
Joan is the pageant; no parent or marriage is part of the facts given.
5
Piety
The faith is the sell, which is why the pageant bothers with her at all.
6
Courage
Armor and the stake name what she stood to lose, shown as theater.
4
Republic
A maid and a country's war, reduced to a pageant rather than a record.
4
Temperance
A pageant can still train an eye toward the stake, so we don't linger.
4
Truth
Painted sets keep the promise of a pageant and not of a trial record.
4
Stewardship
Left behind is a theater Joan, faith included, not a life documented.

Buddy

41Leave it.

Forced cheer is a cage. The child who says no is the one the show cannot bear.

The review

Inside a 1990s children's program, an orange unicorn leads the songs. A boy will not join the dance. He vanishes, and the host tells the others he has gone to a perfect city. Another child finds what he left, and it is not a postcard. The public story stops at the crack: the cheer was the lock, and the no was the thing the lock could not allow.

Do not put this in front of a child who still loves a show like it. The measure is for the adult who presses play. A smile that punishes the child who will not wear it is not friendship. It is a host.
