The review

A student makes a monster. Edison, 1910, Charles Ogle, a reel a teen can watch. The creation is the image people kept. This is not the 1931 film. I will not move that later face onto this one, and I will not invent a speech. None is in the reel. I watched the making and I stopped.

The man who made the thing is responsible for it. That sentence survived after the picture did not need to be long. No wife, no town meeting, just a student and the result of his work. If you leave it on, say the year first so the room doesn't think it saw the famous feature. Blame stays with the maker. I don't have a line to add, and I won't fake one.

Journal

Keep Frankenstein in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 43. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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.

Consider this

Nosferatu

56 instead of 43

Nosferatu is still a horror film, and it scores 56 instead of 43. What you gain is household: The count wants a woman, and she offers her own life to hold him.

The eight

6
Industry
A student's work is making the monster, and that making is the point.
1
Household
No wife, parent, or child shares the room with what he made.
5
Piety
Responsibility is named; the reel does not show conscience stopping him.
4
Courage
He makes a thing he cannot pass off as someone else's doing.
4
Republic
What he owes is the result of his making, not a vote or a law.
4
Temperance
The creation is the image people kept, and the reel stops at it.
7
Truth
No speech is given to the monster, and the maker still owns the act.
3
Stewardship
He leaves a monster behind, and the responsibility stays on him.

13 Hours

43Leave it.

A night, a compound, a political argument wearing a battle. Adults. Do not let the argument be settled by the gunfire.

The review

On September 11, 2012, the American compound in Benghazi was attacked and four Americans were killed, including the ambassador. The contractors at a nearby CIA annex fought through the night. That much a house should know. Michael Bay's film knows how to film a roof. It does not know how to handle a disputed record, and it does not try. Everyone who hesitates is a villain. Everyone who shoots is a truth-teller.

Adults, and even then I would rather they read two accounts than watch one bay of muzzle flash. If you do watch it, separate the bravery of the men on the annex from the brief the film is writing. Bravery is not a party. A dead ambassador is not a talking point. The film wants both of those sentences to be false. They are not.
