The Greatest Show on Earth

45Watch it awake.

The best-picture vote followed the tent, and the tent is most of what is there.

The review

The best-picture vote followed the tent. That complaint is fair, and the film does not offer much of an answer. DeMille's circus. A manager keeps the show moving. A clown hides from the police. A trapeze star and a rival. A wreck on the train. The spectacle is the point, and it was the ordinary-release crowd of its year. I see why people went. I got tired of it the moment the people were supposed to matter more than the tent.

The jobs are real. Someone has to keep the show from stopping, and bodies are risked to do it. A crooked past sits under the paint. The picture would rather give you the next act than the bill for that past. If you love a circus, you will recognize this and you may be glad. If you wanted a best picture about a life at home, the wreck is the most honest stretch in it.

Live Historic number 45. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Temperance and Stewardship 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.

The eight

8
Industry
The manager's job is the circus, and the job is keeping it moving.
2
Household
A rivalry and a hiding clown are not a marriage, a parent, or a child.
3
Piety
A clown hides from the police, so the past is still in charge of him.
6
Courage
Trapeze work risks the body, and the train wreck risks everybody on it.
5
Republic
The tent is hiding a man the police want, and the show comes first.
3
Temperance
Spectacle is the point, so you are sold the next act, not a limit.
5
Truth
A man in paint is living a cover, and the show would rather continue.
4
Stewardship
A wreck hits the train, and the answer on offer is to keep the show going.

Pass it on

A Star Is Born

45Watch it awake.

Love is not a cure for a man who will not put the drink down. The film knows. It still asks you to ache for him.

The review

Ally has a gift and a job she is afraid to claim. Jackson has a gift he is spending to stay numb. The film sees both, and then it makes his death the door to her voice, which is an old lie about artists: that the ruin is the price of the true note. The true note was already there in the parking lot, before the ruin was asked to be meaningful.

Adults only. If you watch it, refuse the last alchemy. A person who kills himself is not a chord. Say that in the room so the song does not get the last word.

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

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

Don't Say Good Luck

63 instead of 45

Don't Say Good Luck is still a drama film, and it scores 63 instead of 45. What you gain is temperance: Sentiment is thick.
