Pass it on
Modern Times
56Watch it awake.
The work is a wound that plays as a joke, and no lasting house ever arrives.
The review
The tramp is eaten by a factory, a feeding machine, and a jail that feeds him better than the street. A homeless young woman joins him. He sings nonsense. Mostly silent on purpose, in a sound year. One older list calls it the year's largest. The rental lists still print San Francisco first. I won't invent a winner.
A house can watch it. The work is the joke and the wound. They do not get a lasting house. That is not a cute lesson about getting by. After the nonsense, the street is still worse than jail, and no home arrives to settle it. The machine was the subject.
Journal
Keep Modern Times in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 56. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety 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.
Consider this
The Sheep Detectives
68 instead of 56
The Sheep Detectives is still a comedy film, and it scores 68 instead of 56. What you gain is stewardship: It hands on the habit of reading to the weak.
