The Last Days of Pompeii

The lovers and the city are only there until the volcano finishes them.

The review

Lovers, a city, and then the eruption. The volcano is the finish, which tells you the order of the evening before you start. Italian, from the same year as Quo Vadis, and not any later film of the book. A house can watch. I won't linger on the crowd in the streets.

I don't have a moral to hang on the eruption. The people are there so the end can take a city. The lovers are why you are supposed to mind. Spectacle is why the picture exists. If the room starts talking about a later talkie, stop and name 1913. Then let the finish be the finish.

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?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Argo

53 instead of 31

Argo is still a history film, and it scores 53 instead of 31. What you gain is industry: A cover story has to be built: names, calls, a fake movie.

The eight

2
Industry
No job carries the picture; the eruption is the finish they sold.
4
Household
Lovers are the pair you follow, not a marriage or a child at stake.
2
Piety
Lovers and a volcano carry it; conscience does not turn anyone aside.
4
Courage
They are in a city the eruption will take; the risk is the finish.
3
Republic
A whole city is the setting, and the volcano ends what a town could owe.
3
Temperance
The volcano is the finish, so the hour trains you to wait for it.
5
Truth
A real city's end, told as lovers and spectacle, not as a later talkie.
2
Stewardship
The eruption is the finish, so the city is not left for its people.

The review

The poster is a face designed to be kept. Films like this sometimes hide a real loneliness under the plush, and sometimes they are only the plush. The desk cannot see which from the tile, and will not invent a lesson the marketing department did not bother to print.

If you play it, watch the adult in the frame. A story where a creature teaches a man to stay is worth a conversation. A story where the toy is the point is an advertisement. You do not owe an advertisement your evening.
