The Black Pirate

46Watch it awake.

A child can take the color and the sail, but the revenge wears a grin the whole time.

The review

Early Technicolor is what they were selling, and Douglas Fairbanks is the man inside it. A duke's son joins the pirates who killed his father, meaning to bring them down. The slide down the sail is the public stunt. A child can watch it. It was a hit in 1926, and the color was the novelty.

The revenge wears a grin. The sail is easy to enjoy, and the grin is not a small thing beside it. He is a son with a private job of ruin, and the picture likes the way down. Pretty color does not make that gentle. If a child is on the couch, name the motive when the sail bit comes up. Joining the killers to finish them is still revenge, and a grin is not a pardon.

Keep The Black Pirate in the record.

Live Historic number 46. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Avatar

58 instead of 46

Avatar is still a adventure film, and it scores 58 instead of 46. What you gain is stewardship: The question under the phosphorescence is whether a place can survive being wanted.

The eight

4
Industry
The public work is the sail slide, and the color was the novelty they sold.
6
Household
A son goes after the pirates who killed his father; that death starts the plot.
4
Piety
He means to bring them down, a plan of revenge, not a check on himself.
7
Courage
He joins the pirates who killed his father, and the sail slide is public.
4
Republic
A son's private revenge, not a debt paid to a court, a law, or a town.
3
Temperance
The revenge wears a grin, so getting even is offered as a pleasure.
5
Truth
He joins the killers as one of them while meaning the whole time to end them.
4
Stewardship
What the hit left is early color and a grinning revenge, not a quiet shore.

A Hard Day's Night

46Watch it awake.

Watch it awake, or put it on for the songs and the work. Nobody is asked to become worse.

The review

They have a television appearance to make, a train to catch, and an afternoon in which the city wants pieces of them. The jokes are at the expense of managers, advertisers, and anyone who needs the boys to stand still and be a product. The songs are the work, performed as work. Nobody is asked to betray a friend. Nobody is asked to be cruel to a girl. For a phenomenon as large as this one, that is a remarkable restraint, and I will credit it.

A family can put it on. The limit is that it is a day, not a life, and a day of fame is a thin diet if it becomes the only picture of adulthood in the house. Watch the studio session and ask who in the room was doing a job seriously. Include them. The screaming outside is the decade. The work inside is the part worth keeping. A very large cultural fact of 1964. The fact is not a reason. The songs and the decency are.

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

Singin' in the Rain is still a comedy film, and it scores 60 instead of 46. What you gain is courage: Telling the public the truth.
