Within Our Gates

69Worth an evening.

Micheaux answers the 1915 film with a school, and I will not narrate the lynching.

The review

Oscar Micheaux made this in 1920, and the white crowd was not the one that came. A Black teacher tries to raise money for a school in the South. The story includes a lynching. I am not going to describe it, and I don't want it described in this house. A teen can watch. I would stay in the room.

It argues against the tale the big 1915 film told, the one that isn't on this shelf. The country that bought that film did not buy this one. Put that in the talk afterward, not a recap of the part I refused to narrate. The work is a school and the money to keep it open. Miss this, and you only know the story the big houses preferred.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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.

To Kill a Mockingbird

81 instead of 69

To Kill a Mockingbird is still a drama film, and it scores 81 instead of 69. What you gain is household: A father raising children in public.

It makes an argument, and it does not school the viewer to want another thrill.
8
Truth
It answers the 1915 tale, which the country bought while leaving this one.

Finding Nemo

69Worth an evening.

Keep it. Love that will not let go must learn to let the child swim.

The review

Marlin's grief is not a joke, and his overprotection is not a mystery. The film understands both. Dory's forgetfulness is played for laughs and then revealed as a form of faithfulness: she keeps the errand when she cannot keep the facts. Nemo is not cargo. The last act works because the boy has to do the dangerous thing himself while the father trusts him.

A family that has been scared can watch this and talk about the difference between care and a grip. The ocean is big. The promise is not that it is safe. The promise is that you go.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

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

78 instead of 69
