The Patchwork Girl of Oz

45Watch it awake.

Baum's company sews a girl from a quilt and brings her to life, and it is not 1939.

The review

Do not let the child call this the Oz musical. In 1914 L. Frank Baum's own company brought a girl to life who had been sewn from a patchwork quilt. The quilt is the character. A child can watch it. I put it on to separate his books from the later palace picture, and the separation was easy, because this one is odd and small and about cloth.

I have no lyric to borrow from the later musical, and I will not pretend this is that film. A girl made of quilt scraps is the event. If your child can care about a person who starts as cloth, this is a kind night. If they want the 1939 picture, say so before you start. Finding the swap halfway through is a mean trick.

Live Historic number 45. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic 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.

Peter Pan

56 instead of 45

Peter Pan is still a fantasy film, and it scores 56 instead of 45. What you gain is household: The ending is a return to parents, and her own future as a mother.

Industry
A girl is sewn from a quilt, and Baum's own company made the film.

Household
The life on screen is a made girl, not a parent or a marriage.

New life as a quilt-girl is the risk, and a child is invited to follow.

Republic
Oz is the land, but the fact in hand is a character, not a civic duty.
6
Temperance
A child can watch, and the picture does not school a hunger for more.
6
Truth
This is Baum's 1914 Oz, and it is not the later musical.

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.
