Killers of the Flower Moon

65Worth an evening.

A crime against a people, told at the length of the crime. Hard, and necessary.

The review

Scorsese stays on the marriage, which is the right and awful choice. Mollie is not a backdrop. Ernest is not a misunderstood man. He loves her in the small ways and participates in the machinery that is killing her family. The film makes you sit with that double fact until it is unbearable, which is the point of the length.

Adults. It is violent because the history is a series of murders, not because the camera is hungry. Watch it once if you can bear a true story about neighbors. The last scene, about how America tells the story back to itself, is the stewardship question: who gets to narrate the dead.

Journal

Keep Killers of the Flower Moon in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 65. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

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

Consider this

To Kill a Mockingbird

81 instead of 65

To Kill a Mockingbird is still a drama film, and it scores 81 instead of 65. What you gain is courage: He goes, knowing.

The eight

6
Industry
Oil, guardianship, a bureaucracy of theft. The crime is paperwork and poison.
7
Household
A marriage is the scene of the crime. The household is the method.
4
Piety
Faith is in the room, including among the killers. It does not excuse them.
6
Courage
Mollie persists. The investigators arrive late and are still necessary.
7
Republic
A nation inside a county, and a law that eventually has to notice.
5
Temperance
The violence is repetitive because the murders were. It is not a thrill.
9
Truth
The film will not let the nice version of the husband stand.
8
Stewardship
The question of the last reel is who keeps the names, and in whose voice.

Jesus Revolution

65Worth an evening.

A revival told as a history, not as a feeling. Keep it, and ask what lasted.

The review

The film is interested in a specific time and a specific church parking lot, which saves it from being a generic inspiration. Lonnie is gifted and unstable. Chuck is cautious and then not. The young people want a father as much as a high. The movie knows the difference more often than films on this shelf do.

Watch it with a teenager who thinks faith is a costume of one decade. Then ask the harder question the last reel only sketches: a movement that cannot become a household and a Sunday will be a mood. Moods end.

Industry is the thin one.

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

Hacksaw Ridge

74 instead of 65

Hacksaw Ridge is still a drama film, and it scores 74 instead of 65. What you gain is industry: A medic's repetitive, physical work.
