Sense and Sensibility

75Worth an evening.

A smaller cottage, kept, is worth more than a great house withheld.

The review

The father dies and the house goes to a half-brother, whose wife persuades him to keep what the dead man had hoped would be shared. The sisters move to a cottage. Elinor loves Edward and will not have him once she thinks he has bound himself elsewhere and hidden it. Marianne loves a charm that does not last. The public story of the novel, which this film is telling again, ends with the secret out and the steadier promises kept.

A child old enough for a long talk can sit with this. The sentence to keep is not the wedding. It is that a feeling, however large, does not outrank a promise already made.

Journal

Keep Sense and Sensibility in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 75. 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

Cabrini

83 instead of 75

Cabrini is still a drama film, and it scores 83 instead of 75. What you gain is piety: The vow is the engine, and it is not a costume.

The eight

7
Industry
They take the cottage and live inside what is left. The work is the household, not a rescue.
9
Household
A mother and three sisters are the fortune. The estate was never theirs to clutch.
6
Piety
Restraint is treated as a duty, not as a lack of feeling.
7
Courage
Elinor sends away the man she loves when she believes he has not been honest.
7
Republic
A brother is talked out of what his father asked him to give. The film does not call that kindness.
8
Temperance
Marianne's feeling is not the law. She has to learn the difference, and the film lets her.
8
Truth
Edward's secret promise is the wound. It does not get to stay convenient.
8
Stewardship
What they keep is a small house and each other, which is the inheritance that was actually theirs.

12 Angry Men

75Worth an evening.

Keep it. A room, a reasonable doubt, and the courage to be the first no.

The review

Eleven men want the afternoon back. The twelfth wants the testimony walked through, because a life is not a schedule. The film is a whole civics lesson in one sweatbox: prejudice with a smile, prejudice with a shout, and the slow work of looking at a knife and a train schedule until the story the state told no longer holds. Nobody is romanticized for being angry. The quiet man is not a saint. He is simply unwilling to be rushed into a killing.

A teenager should see this before they see another thriller about a genius detective. Justice here looks like staying in the chair. That is a picture this house can use.

Household and Piety are the thin ones.

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