The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

36Leave it.

A teen can take the crooked rooms, and I would not trust a tale that may be a madman's.

The review

The sets are the memory, which is a strange thing to carry home from a story with a killer in it. A carnival hypnotist shows a somnambulist who walks at night and kills. The frame may be a madman's story. Conrad Veidt. Germany, 1920. A teen can watch it. It was not a hit in the American houses. I am not describing the killings. The town is a painted crooked room.

I won't hand a teen that show and call the paint a virtue by itself. The frame may be a madman's story, so I can't tell them the town on the screen is a town to believe. Say that before it starts. I don't see anyone here who owes a neighbor a straight answer. Crooked walls are a design. They are not a way to keep a place.

The glance

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

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

The Silence of the Lambs

49 instead of 36

The Silence of the Lambs is still a horror film, and it scores 49 instead of 36. What you gain is courage: She goes down the hall.

The eight

4
Industry
A carnival hypnotist's show is the job, and the somnambulist walks at night.
2
Household
No marriage, parent, or child is a life here; the crooked show is.
3
Piety
The sleeper gets no conscience; the hypnotist uses him in the night.
3
Courage
A somnambulist kills in a trance, which is not a chosen risk of his own.
3
Republic
The town is a painted crooked room, and it may be a madman's story.
4
Temperance
A show of a night-walker keeps the eye on the next crooked room.
6
Truth
The frame may be a madman's story, so the picture admits the tale may fail.
4
Stewardship
What lasted is the painted town, not a hit in the American houses.

Black Swan

The discipline is real. Perfection is the idol, and the film kneels with her. Adults.

The review

Practice is not the villain. She has given herself to a hard craft, and the film respects the craft enough to show the feet. The villain is the idea that a person may be spent completely if the result is perfect. Her mother wanted a dancer in the house more than a daughter. The director wants the performance. She agrees.

Adults only. Do not watch it as a stylish breakdown to quote. If a young dancer in the house hears that perfection is this, say the plainer thing: the body is not raw material, and a role ends.
