The plant is funny, it feeds on blood, and the released film lets him off.

The review

A flower-shop clerk on Skid Row has a plant that eats blood and sings. Keep feeding it and the shop becomes famous. There's a girl hurt by a dentist, so the cruelty isn't only horticulture. The songs go down easy. The deal doesn't: fame if he feeds it, and no fame if he stops. The tune is working for the plant.

The stage punished him. The film that was released lets him off. Say that before anyone in the house treats the puppet as harmless fun. Adults who can take a dark joke may still like the music, as long as somebody names the bill. I wouldn't give a child that released cut. On stage the feeding costs him. In the film, it doesn't.

Keep Little Shop of Horrors in the record.

Live Historic number 36. Yours can differ.

The glance

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

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.

The eight

6
Industry
The flower shop is a real little business until fame replaces the work.
5
Household
A girl hurt by a dentist is the person he could stand up for, and may not.
4
Piety
Stopping the feeding would be conscience, and the released film lets him skip it.
3
Courage
The stage risked punishing him; the released cut declines that consequence.
3
Republic
Skid Row could have been a neighborhood to serve, and fame points elsewhere.
2
Temperance
Each feeding makes the plant larger, and the want larger with it.
4
Truth
The stage told the bill; the released film lets a happy feeding stand as truth.
2
Stewardship
The cut most people saw leaves a shop that got famous by keeping the plant fed.

Black Swan

36Leave it.

The discipline is real. Perfection is the idol, and the film kneels with her. Adults.

The review

Practice is not the villain. She has given herself to a hard craft, and the film respects the craft enough to show the feet. The villain is the idea that a person may be spent completely if the result is perfect. Her mother wanted a dancer in the house more than a daughter. The director wants the performance. She agrees.

Adults only. Do not watch it as a stylish breakdown to quote. If a young dancer in the house hears that perfection is this, say the plainer thing: the body is not raw material, and a role ends.
