Forget Me Never

Memory is a duty. The desk will not invent an illness to give the poster a plot.

The phrase is a plea. Films that use it are often about a mind that is losing its names, which is a grave and common sorrow, or about a romance that thinks being remembered is the same as being faithful. The tile does not say which, and this house will not supply a diagnosis for atmosphere.

If it is the sorrow, bring patience and do not treat the sick as a lesson in your own feelings. If it is the romance, the plea is cheaper. Either way the true act is older than the movie: you keep a person by showing up while they can still see you.

The Purge

The question is real. The thrill is not a reason to watch. Adults.

A family boards the windows and discovers that a legal crime is still a crime, and that the night is aimed at the people least able to buy a door. That is a true political sentence. The film then spends the sentence on a home-invasion scare, because a scare sells and a sentence does not.

Do not use it as a thought experiment at dinner with children in the room. A republic that imagines a holiday from law has already begun to hate its weak. You do not need the mask to understand that.

The eight

  1. Industry

    4/10

    A guarded house is a kind of work. The film prefers the siege.

  2. Household

    5/10

    They do try to keep the family inside the door.

  3. Piety

    2/10

    No higher law than the statute that was switched off.

  4. Courage

    5/10

    Opening the door to a stranger is the one brave beat.

  5. Republic

    4/10

    It names a nation that prices safety, then guns the scene.

  6. Temperance

    2/10

    The release is the fantasy.

  7. Truth

    6/10

    The premise tells on a country that would ration mercy.

  8. Stewardship

    3/10

    What it leaves is a mask, not a duty.
