The review

Eastwood made the companion the same year. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, who had lived in the United States, prepares an island he knows cannot be held. A boy who was a baker, a soldier who was an Olympic horse, a conscript who does not want to die for a speech: the film gives them time. The battle, when it comes, is thirst and a cave.

Read it beside Flags of Our Fathers. One film is the picture America needed. This one is the mail the other army sent into a country that would lose. I would not show the cave to a young child. I would show the letters to a teenager who thinks a war is a side. The charge is simple. A man who writes home is not a position.

Live Historic number 76. 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

A Man for All Seasons

89 instead of 76

A Man for All Seasons is still a history film, and it scores 89 instead of 76. What you gain is piety: Faith is the center, and it is not a mood.

The eight

7
Industry
Soldiers dig, write, and wait. The work is the tunnel.
7
Household
The letters are how a household survives a man it will not see again.
6
Piety
General Kuribayashi's restraint is a kind of piety: he will not spend the men on a gesture.
9
Courage
Staying in a position you have been told is your grave is the courage the film is about.
7
Republic
An empire and a republic are both spending islands. The film stays with the spent.
8
Temperance
Almost no triumph. The violence is fright, not a highlight.
9
Truth
It refuses the cartoon of the enemy. The men are particular.
8
Stewardship
What it leaves is a stack of letters, which is a truer monument than the photograph.

Bicycle Thieves

76Worth an evening.

He loses the bike the job needs, then his son watches him try to steal one.

The review

No glamour, which is the compliment. A man in Rome gets a job that requires a bicycle. The bicycle is stolen. He and his son walk the city looking for it. I've had weeks where one missing tool sat between a paycheck and nothing, and I didn't have my kid there for all of it.

He's humiliated. He tries to steal one himself and is caught in front of the boy. A child can watch it with a parent. It'll hurt in the right place. I wouldn't soothe that on the way to bed. The job was real, the theft was his, and the boy was there.

Honest work needed the bike; the boy sees the theft that breaks that.
