The Shawshank Redemption
65Worth an evening.
Keep it for adults. Hope here is a discipline, not a poster. The friendship is the good.
The review
Andy brings a skill into a brutal institution and uses it, at first, to survive and to get young men their exams. Red's voice is the moral ear of the film: institutionalization is real, and a man can be afraid of a door. The warden's piety is a counterfeit, bible and books and a crime. The escape is satisfaction the story has earned by patience. Do not turn it into a revenge fantasy. He leaves. He asks a friend to live.
Adults. Some of the prison violence is the point and some is more than you need. The scene to keep is the music over the yard, a beauty the warden cannot administer.
Journal
Keep The Shawshank Redemption in the record.

Live Historic number 65. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Piety are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

12 Angry Men
75 instead of 65
12 Angry Men is still a drama film, and it scores 75 instead of 65. What you gain is republic: A jury is the whole subject, and it is treated with fear and love.
