Devotion

71Worth an evening.

A particular man and a particular friend. The flying is the work. Keep it.

Pass it on

The review

Jesse Brown is a Navy pilot in the first months of Korea. Tom Hudner is the white wingman assigned to him. The film's gamble is to stay on the work: the carrier, the checklist, the weather, the marriage, the notebook in which Brown keeps the words white men have used on him so they cannot surprise him twice. The war arrives as a mission, not as a speech about America.

Older teens and adults. It is smoother than the year was, the way most recent war films are smoother. Do not let the smoothness erase the notebook. That notebook is the truthful object. If you watch it with a child who is learning whose names get said, say Brown's name before the film does, and say that being first is not the same thing as being welcomed.

Consider this

Cabrini

83 instead of 71

Cabrini is still a drama film, and it scores 83 instead of 71. What you gain is piety: The vow is the engine, and it is not a costume.

The eight

  1. 8
    Industry

    Flying is a skill he has to be better at than the room expects, and the film respects the skill.

  2. 7
    Household

    A wife and a child are at home. The squadron is the other household, with a narrower door.

  3. 5
    Piety

    He carries a book of the insults he has heard and reads them back to himself. That is discipline, not a sermon.

  4. 8
    Courage

    The courage is the landing, and later the choice a friend makes over a crash.

  5. 7
    Republic

    The Navy of 1950 will take his service and still make him prove the room. The film does not skip that.

  6. 7
    Temperance

    The battles are there. They are not the personality of the movie.

  7. 8
    Truth

    Brown is not a symbol who learned to fly for the poster. He is a pilot.

  8. 7
    Stewardship

    What it hands a house is a name more people should already have known.

Live historically

Learn Jesse Brown's name, and one thing he was good at that was not 'first.'

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

71Worth an evening.

Love the father if you want, and still admit the mother is the one keeping them fed.

Pass it on

The review

The father is easy to love, and that is the trap the mother lives beside. A girl in a Brooklyn tenement loves a man who drinks and dreams. She depends on a mother who works and is hard because someone must be. He is not a villain and not a model. The girl's schooling is the hope. From Betty Smith. A house can watch it, including an older child who can hear about a drinker without copying him.

I know that split, the charming one and the one who will not let the rent slide. The picture keeps both of them human. Don't turn him into a sweet lesson, and don't scold her for the face she has after work. What grows is the girl's chance at school, not a prettier story about his dreams. That is enough reason to leave it on.

It's a Wonderful Life

85 instead of 71

It's a Wonderful Life is still a drama film, and it scores 85 instead of 71. What you gain is piety: Prayer is not a joke here.

The eight

  1. 8
    Industry

    The mother works, and that labor is why a tenement house still functions.

  2. 9
    Household

    Father, mother, and daughter are lives, and none of them is parked as a prop.

  3. 5
    Piety

    Her hardness tells the truth, and his drinking does not stop for love.

  4. 7
    Courage

    She keeps the hard house, which can cost her the easy love the father gets.

  5. 6
    Republic

    School is the public hope, and the block is the only town the girl has.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    He drinks and dreams, and the film will not let you take him as a model.

  7. 8
    Truth

    The dreams don't pay, and the mother's hardness is the account that does.

  8. 8
    Stewardship

    What she leaves the girl is schooling, not a softer myth about the father.

Ask your kid which tenement parent they'd follow downstairs, then ask which one paid for school.

For this house

Keep going

The next title is the one nearest what this house keeps, then the measure where it is thin. Nothing here is a crowd. It does not leave this device.
