Pass it on

Uncle Tom's Cabin

49Watch it awake.

The book is against the sale, and this print still paints white actors black.

The review

The novel is against the sale of people. I still believe that part. This 1914 picture puts white actors in blackface to play the story, and the costume does not get a pass because the book was right. A teen can watch it only after you say the makeup. I will not describe a beating.

I sat there angry at the faces and unwilling to throw out the wound the novel names. Both are true of this print. Famous does not help. If you want the argument against selling people, you can say it yourself and skip the makeup. If you screen the film, the correction has to be yours. The picture will not supply it.

Journal

Keep Uncle Tom's Cabin in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 49. Yours can differ.

The glance

Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?

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

Consider this

Secondhand Lions

61 instead of 49

Secondhand Lions is still a drama film, and it scores 61 instead of 49. What you gain is stewardship: The speech is the part to memorize, if you mean to live it.

The eight

5
Industry
The sale of people is the economic wound this picture takes from the novel.
6
Household
Selling people is an attack on households, which is the novel's wound.
6
Piety
The novel's aim is against the sale, and the 1914 film keeps that aim.
5
Courage
Opposition to the sale is the bravery the book is for, not a new plot.
7
Republic
A law that allows the sale of people is the public wrong the novel fights.
3
Temperance
Appetite is not the engine; the sale of people is the subject.
4
Truth
The novel opposes the sale, yet white actors still play it in blackface.
3
Stewardship
This print leaves the novel's wound wearing blackface as a costume.

Pass it on

American Sniper

49Watch it awake.

The skill is not the same thing as the war. Adults. The wife is the witness. Watch awake.

The review

A shepherd of men, in his own mind, looks through a scope and has to decide what a child in the street is holding. Those seconds are the serious part. The film is often more comfortable on the roof than in the kitchen, and the people on the other end of the shot are rarely given a kitchen at all.

Adults. Do not put it on as a recruitment poster or as a debunking. If you watch it, stay for the grocery store, where a man who was decisive cannot be. Ask what a country owes the person it trained to do this, and what it owes the rooms it never filmed.

The glance

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?

The Patriot

59 instead of 49

The Patriot is still a war film, and it scores 59 instead of 49. What you gain is household: He fights because they took his children, not because of a speech.
