The Little American

It wants you angry at Germany, and that is an argument, not news.

The review

Do not file this under news. An American girl is caught in Europe in the Great War. Mary Pickford, Cecil B. DeMille. A teen can watch it. The houses booked the star, and I felt the booking while the war did the pushing. The younger one stayed in bed. I wasn't dodging a shock. I was dodging the aim.

The picture wants you angry at Germany. That is an argument, not a dispatch. Feeling a side is easy. Calling it a report is the mistake I won't make twice. I left knowing why they sold Pickford, and not much I would trust about the war. If a teen sits with us, we say argument before it starts. I was too tired to let a famous girl make the anger look neutral.

Journal

Keep The Little American in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 24. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth 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

Dr. Strangelove

38 instead of 24

Dr. Strangelove is still a war film, and it scores 38 instead of 24. What you gain is truth: The inadequacy is the truth, and the film will not give you a competent savior.

The eight

2
Industry
The star is why the houses booked it, not a job on screen.
2
Household
An American girl abroad, and no family life is the subject.
2
Piety
Conscience is steered into anger at Germany, not asked to pause.
4
Courage
She is caught in the war; the risk is the setting they chose.
3
Republic
It takes the Allied side and never becomes a duty you can weigh.
2
Temperance
The hour trains a want for anger at Germany, then more of it.
2
Truth
An argument for a side, not a dispatch from the Great War.
2
Stewardship
What it leaves is a star and a grudge, not a record to trust.

The review

The tile is a band that built a name on offense and now offers the documentary version of itself. A document can be honest about a scene, the drugs, the jokes, the people who paid. It becomes an ad when the offense is treated as proof of courage. Courage has an object. Being willing to disgust a room is not yet an object.

Skip it if you do not already care about the music. If you do, watch for whether anyone is allowed to have been harmed by the bit. A band is not a moral alibi.
