The Green Mile

60Watch it awake.

Mercy on a mile that ends in a chair. Long, sincere, and heavy. Adults.

The review

A giant of a man is on the mile for a crime against children that he did not commit, and he can take pain out of a body. The guards who are decent learn this too late to matter to the law, and in time to matter to their souls. The film believes in that difference. It is not subtle, and it is not cynical, which in this decade is a distinction.

Adults. It is a long night and a sad one. Do not put it on as a tear to borrow. If you watch it, the question is what you do when you know the official story is wrong and the clock is still running.

Journal

Keep The Green Mile in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 60. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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.

Consider this

Groundhog Day

69 instead of 60

Groundhog Day is still a drama film, and it scores 69 instead of 60. What you gain is temperance: Appetite is burned out of him.

The eight

6
Industry
Guards do a terrible job with procedures and, sometimes, with kindness.
4
Household
A wife, a mouse, a block that becomes a parish of the condemned.
7
Piety
A healing that costs the healer. The miracle is not a trick.
7
Courage
The guard risks his post to find out the truth of a condemned man.
5
Republic
The law will have its killing. The film does not pretend the law is just in this case.
5
Temperance
It is earnest and it is long. The suffering is not a thrill.
8
Truth
An innocent man, a gift, a state that cannot afford to believe him.
6
Stewardship
What the guard cannot hand back is the life the chair took.

Pass it on

An Arthur Thanksgiving

60Watch it awake.

A small holiday special with a real table. Fine for children.

The review

Arthur's neighborhood has always been better at ordinary friction than at myths. Thanksgiving here is cooking, guests, a snag, and a meal that still happens. That is more useful than a pageant. Gratitude that has not met a late aunt and a crowded kitchen is only a slogan.

It will not change a life. It may remind a room that the feast is the people who came, including the difficult ones. Put it on while you peel the potatoes.

The Iron Giant

73 instead of 60

The Iron Giant is still a animation film, and it scores 73 instead of 60. What you gain is courage: He stays up so the town can live.
