Juror #2

Name: Juror #2 scores 66 — Live Historic
Item: Juror #2
Rating: 66
Author: Live Historic

66Worth an evening.

A conscience with a vote. Adults. The last reel is a moral problem, not a trick.

Pass it on

The review

A juror who may be guilty is a clean machine for an old question: will you put an innocent person away to keep your own life. The film is lean, and it trusts you to feel the pull of the nursery at home and still not call that pull an answer.

Adults. The charge is to notice where you are already on a jury in ordinary life: a story you could correct, at a cost, about someone who is not you. Correct one.

Journal

Keep Juror #2 in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 66. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry is the thin one.

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

The Night of the Hunter

79 instead of 66

The Night of the Hunter is still a thriller film, and it scores 79 instead of 66. What you gain is household: A widow's children are hunted until an old woman's house becomes the shelter.

The eight

5
Industry
Jury duty is treated as a job, which it is.
6
Household
A wife and a child on the way. The life he might lose is a real house.
5
Piety
No creed. A conscience that will not sit quietly in the box.
7
Courage
Telling the truth would cost him everything. The film is about whether he will.
9
Republic
The subject is a jury, which is a republic trusting ordinary people with a life.
7
Temperance
The pressure is fear, not glamour.
8
Truth
He knows, and the knowing is the plot. The film does not let him unknow it.
6
Stewardship
What he owes the accused, and the dead, is larger than his comfort.

Alien

66Worth an evening.

Ripley reads the quarantine rule. The company already decided the crew was expendable.

Pass it on

The review

The fright is what people quote. The paperwork is what decides it. A commercial towing crew, not soldiers, answers a signal. The company wants the organism. On the forms the crew is expendable. Ripley, the warrant officer, reads the quarantine rule. Someone brings the organism back aboard anyway.

Adult, and I am not going to describe the body. She is not a chosen one. She is the officer whose work is to say no when the cargo is worth more to the firm than the people hauling it. Watch who treats them as a line item and who treats them as a crew. The rule was the promise. Breaking it is the bill, and the company had already signed the crew away.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

76 instead of 66

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is still a science-fiction film, and it scores 76 instead of 66. What you gain is stewardship: What he leaves is the crew alive, and a funeral held in space.
