The Iron Horse

The gangs do real work, and Native people are still the obstacle in the way of the line.

The review

The railroad is the job, and I liked the work until I saw who counts as the obstacle. John Ford, Fox, 1924, the building of the transcontinental line, a romance, and a drive to join the tracks. A large hit, behind The Sea Hawk. A house can watch it. The work of the gangs is real. That part I will not sneer at.

Native people are the obstacle in the way of the line. The land is treated as empty of anyone who counts. Say so if this goes on. A romance does not fix a picture that clears the neighbors to get the rails joined. I can praise the gangs and still refuse the map. If the kids watch the tracks meet, stay and name who the film decided did not live there.

Keep The Iron Horse in the record.

Live Historic number 40. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth 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.

How the West Was Won

55 instead of 40

How the West Was Won is still a western film, and it scores 55 instead of 40. What you gain is household: A family is the thread, marriages and burials, not a lone gun as the hero.

The eight

8
Industry
The gangs building the transcontinental line do work the film treats as real.
3
Household
A romance rides along with the line, not a marriage or a child.
2
Piety
No conscience stops the picture from treating Native people as the obstacle.
6
Courage
Joining the tracks is hard work the gangs have to finish, not a speech.
3
Republic
The national line treats Native neighbors as something standing in the way.
4
Temperance
The drive to join the tracks never has to answer the people it clears.
3
Truth
The land is treated as empty of anyone who counts, and that is the lie.
3
Stewardship
Left behind is a joined railroad and land scored as if no one lived there.

Armageddon

40Leave it.

A father and a crew. The world-ending is a fireworks show. The sacrifice is asserted, not earned.

The review

Rough men who can do a physical thing are sent to do it in space because the polished men cannot. That is a populist feeling the film is not wrong to have. A father who has been absent tries to bless a marriage before he dies. Those are human scraps.

The scraps are tied to a firework. You will be told when to cry. You do not have to. If the house wants a film about a crew and a real cost, Private Ryan is the adult one and Apollo stories exist. This is a cheer. Leave it.

The glance

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

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

Doctor Strange

50 instead of 40

Doctor Strange is still a action film, and it scores 50 instead of 40. What you gain is temperance: His ego is the subject.
