Sing Sing

Name: Sing Sing scores 69 — Live Historic
Item: Sing Sing
Rating: 69
Author: Live Historic

69Worth an evening.

Dignity as a rehearsal. One of the best films of its year. Adults, and worth it.

Pass it on

The review

The plot is a production. The event is a man who has built his hope on a parole board learning that hope can be a craft instead. The men are not symbols of a policy. They are particular, funny, and guilty of different things, and the film leaves the guilt in the room while it watches them work. Work is the mercy it believes in.

Adults. Do not turn it into a speech about the system before you have sat with one man's monologue. The charge is local: anyone who can teach a skill to a person the town has decided is finished is doing this work.

Live Historic number 69. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety 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

Taking Chance

81 instead of 69

Taking Chance is still a drama film, and it scores 81 instead of 69. What you gain is household: The corporal's family is the house at the end of the road.

The eight

8
Industry
Acting is treated as a discipline you can learn inside a place built to stop you.
4
Household
The households are outside the walls. The company becomes a thin, real fellowship.
4
Piety
No creed required. A reverence for a man becoming able to speak.
8
Courage
Standing in front of the others and telling the truth is the brave act.
6
Republic
A prison is a public failure and a public duty. The program does not cancel the sentence.
8
Temperance
The violence of the place is context, not entertainment.
9
Truth
Many of the men play versions of themselves. The film does not clean them into innocents.
8
Stewardship
What the play hands them is a way to be a person for two hours.

Cenere

69Worth an evening.

A mother sees the son she gave up and leaves, so she will not ruin his life.

Pass it on

The review

She gave him up, and then she sees him again. A mother, a son, and a choice not to ruin the life he has. Eleanora Duse's only film. Italian, 1916, not an American gross. The face is why the picture was made. A house can watch it. I watched it hoping I would leave a hard meeting that cleanly, and I am not sure I would.

The leaving is the mercy. She does not spend his life to ease the meeting. That is a household doing a hard thing, not a famous face collecting a bow. The camera came for the face. I would keep the mercy. If the kids are up, the line is short: she meets him, and she will not break what he already has.

Industry and Republic are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Enoch Arden

79 instead of 69

Enoch Arden is still a drama film, and it scores 79 instead of 69. What you gain is industry: He is a sailor, and that wrecked work is why the years pass.
