The review
The part I trusted was the failure. A conjurer transforms an insect into a woman and then loses control of the trick. Georges Méliès, 1901. A child can watch it. The change is the product. The magician is not the master of it. Most of these reels let the conjurer look like the master. This one says he is not, and I was glad of the crack.
She is still a trick, not a wife or a daughter. He does not stop from conscience. The trick slips. That is not bravery he chose. Say both halves if it plays: the change they sold, and the man who cannot hold what he made.

The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Eternity
36 instead of 24
Eternity is still a fantasy film, and it scores 36 instead of 24. What you gain is household: Two marriages, and a woman who was a person in both.
