She holds the town while he leaves, and the rush was not an empty field.

The review

Best picture, and still not a settled year-winner. I kept the marriage, not the prize. The Oklahoma land rush starts it. A pioneer leaves. A wife stays and holds the town while he chases the next frontier. It's from Edna Ferber. A house can watch the staying. That staying is the work.

Don't call the ground empty. Native people are the film's blind spot, and a decent wife doesn't cancel it. He gets the leaving. She gets the town. If you put it on, say the blind spot before anyone treats the rush as a gift that cost no one.

Journal

Keep Cimarron in the record.

Live Historic number 50. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

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

Angel and the Badman

61 instead of 50

Angel and the Badman is still a western film, and it scores 61 instead of 50. What you gain is piety: Mercy is the offer.

The eight

8
Industry
The wife stays and holds the town, and that staying is the work.
7
Household
A marriage split by his leaving; she keeps the house he will not stay in.
3
Piety
Nothing stops him chasing the next frontier once the rush is behind him.
7
Courage
She holds a town alone while he risks the next frontier he could miss.
4
Republic
She owes the town; Native people stay outside the debt the rush admits.
4
Temperance
He keeps wanting the next frontier; she is the one who stops traveling.
3
Truth
The leaving is plain, and the rush is still framed as if the field were empty.
4
Stewardship
A town is held, and the people already on that land are not what remains.

10 Things I Hate About You

50Watch it awake.

The bet is the sin. The poem is the repair. Older teens, with the bet named.

Pass it on

The review

Someone is paid to take the difficult sister out so the younger one can be dated. That is a use of a person, and the film knows it before it decides to be charming about it. Kat is not a problem to be solved. She is a girl with a standard, some of it pride and some of it sense. The poem works because it is specific and public and ashamed. A romance that ends on a confession is better than one that ends on a wink.

The Shakespeare underneath is a harsh play. This softens it into a high school, which is a mercy, and keeps the money, which is the part you have to say out loud so a teenager does not learn that being purchased is a meet-cute.
