The review

Ferdinand Zecca's 1902 féerie gives you the cave, the jars, and the thieves. A child can watch it. I am not going to describe a killing, and you shouldn't either. The trick of the jars is the pleasure. If that trick lands, the reel has done the only job it really has.

It is a sketch, not the whole tale told at length, and not a later feature. I wouldn't pretend the children got Ali Baba. They got a painted bit of it. That's enough for a short look. It is not enough to skip the story you would actually tell them.

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

38 instead of 26

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is still a fantasy film, and it scores 38 instead of 26. What you gain is household: Dorothy is the child in it, and the reel never builds out a household.

The eight

  1. 2
    Industry

    Thieves and a cave, not a living anyone would call a job.

  2. 2
    Household

    No marriage or child is lived; the sketch stays on the jars.

  3. 2
    Piety

    The reel wants the jar trick, not a conscience that stops.

  4. 3
    Courage

    The thieves and the cave imply a risk the sketch barely plays.

  5. 2
    Republic

    A band of thieves, and no town is owed a straight account.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    The pleasure is the jars, a trick you watch and finish.

  7. 4
    Truth

    Honest as a sketch, and it does not tell the whole tale.

  8. 3
    Stewardship

    Left behind is a jar trick, not the story at full length.

Live historically

Show Zecca's jars to a child, refuse any killing, and say the tale is longer than the reel.

As Seen Through a Telescope

As Seen Through a Telescope

26Leave it.

It's a minute of a man staring at an ankle, and the kick doesn't unsell it.

The review

A man looks at an ankle through a telescope. Smith, 1900. The close-up is what he paid the look for. A boy kicks him for it. A teen can watch it. The peep is the product. It runs about a minute, and the minute is spent on the look.

The kick is in the story and still not the thing they sold. I don't have a word the boy says, and I won't make one. The person with the ankle was owed not to be the show. If a teen is in the room, name the peep before you praise how close the picture gets. I was too worn out to call a kick a full apology.

Daddy-Long-Legs

38 instead of 26

Daddy-Long-Legs is still a comedy film, and it scores 38 instead of 26. What you gain is industry: College is the gift; nobody's daily job is what the story runs on.

The eight

  1. 1
    Industry

    Nobody works; the minute is a look he paid the close-up for.

  2. 2
    Household

    A boy kicks him, and still no marriage or child is a life here.

  3. 4
    Piety

    A boy kicks the look, which is a stop, and the peep was the product.

  4. 3
    Courage

    The boy kicks a man for the ankle, a small risk with a point.

  5. 4
    Republic

    The ankle belonged to someone who was owed not to be the show.

  6. 2
    Temperance

    The peep is the product, a want the close-up is built to feed.

  7. 3
    Truth

    The close-up is the ankle he looked for; the telescope was for that.

  8. 2
    Stewardship

    A minute remains, and what it spent itself on was the peep.

Live historically

Watch As Seen Through a Telescope with a teen and name the ankle peep before praising the close-up.
