The Princess Bride

64Watch it awake.

Keep it. True love here is a long errand, not a mood. Inigo's mercy is the best scene.

The review

Westley keeps his word across years and a mostly-death. Buttercup has less to do than she should, and the film is still on the side of fidelity. The boy in the bed, rolling his eyes at the kiss, is the real audience, and the grandfather wins him without cheating. Inigo wants a killing and is given a chance to stop at justice. That pause is more grown than the swordfight, and the swordfight is perfect.

A whole house can watch this. Quote it if you must. Then notice you are quoting a story about people who did not quit.

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.

Pass it on

1917

64Watch it awake.

A message carried through a broken country. The courage is not the camera. The courage is the errand.

The review

Schofield is not chosen because he is special. He is chosen because he can run and because he has a brother in the line, which is a questionable reason for a general to use and an understandable one for a soldier to accept. The film's gamble is to stay with the body that has to cross the ground. When it becomes a stunt, it thins. When it stays an errand, it is about duty under a command that is not always worthy of the men.

Older teenagers and adults. Do not let the technique be the conversation. The conversation is a piece of paper that can save lives if a tired man will keep walking. Most of moral life is closer to that than to a speech.

Household and Piety are the thin ones.

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

Hacksaw Ridge

74 instead of 64

Hacksaw Ridge is still a war film, and it scores 74 instead of 64. What you gain is piety: Faith that costs a rank and a rifle.
