The review

Men run a still in the woods. Agents come. Wallace McCutcheon, Biograph, 1904, and it was a popular story. A teen can watch it. I am not describing a shooting. The still is the living, which is a plain way to say the picture understands why they're out there, and the law is the raid, not a speech.

I don't need this to become a hymn to liquor or a hymn to the revenue men. It's a short crime picture. The work is illegal, the agents are the interruption, and that's the shape. A teen can hold the living and the raid. I won't supply the rest.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Alias Jimmy Valentine

51 instead of 35

Alias Jimmy Valentine is still a crime film, and it scores 51 instead of 35. What you gain is piety: He wants out before the vault calls the old skill back.

The eight

  1. 5
    Industry

    The still is the living, and it is not a lawful job.

  2. 2
    Household

    Men at a still, with no marriage or child in the fact.

  3. 3
    Piety

    Nobody's conscience stops the still; the agents simply come.

  4. 4
    Courage

    They keep a living the raid can take, which is the risk.

  5. 5
    Republic

    Revenue men are the law, and in this reel the law is the raid.

  6. 2
    Temperance

    The living is a still, so drink is the work, not a refusal.

  7. 4
    Truth

    The still and the raid are plain, with no promise dressed up.

  8. 3
    Stewardship

    A woods still and a raid, and nothing careful is left behind.

Live historically

With a teen, watch McCutcheon's still, skip any shooting, and name the revenue men.

A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange

35Leave it.

The cure is a theft, and the film still lingers on the crimes it claims to hate.

The review

He is caught after leading beatings and rape, and the state calls what follows a cure. They condition him until the wish to do harm makes him sick. He can no longer choose. The film hates that cure, and on this one point I agree. Forced goodness is not goodness. A reflex is not a conscience. A man who cannot choose has not been restored to anything.

Do not give it the evening anyway. It shows the crimes, and plenty of people came for the showing. Adult. Leave the assaults undescribed, and do not dare a friend into the seat. The honest scrap is the bill on the treatment. Everything before that scrap dresses up the ruin. You can refuse the showing and still keep the point about choice.

The Godfather Part II

46 instead of 35

The Godfather Part II is still a crime film, and it scores 46 instead of 35. What you gain is industry: An immigrant's labor, then a crime that calls itself a business.

The eight

  1. 3
    Industry

    The treatment is a procedure done to him, and that procedure is a harm.

  2. 2
    Household

    No spouse, parent, or child is the life this story is built around.

  3. 5
    Piety

    It asks if a man who cannot choose still has anything you could call conscience.

  4. 3
    Courage

    He suffers a treatment; he never risks something he loves for somebody else.

  5. 4
    Republic

    The law catches him, then takes his will instead of leaving him able to answer.

  6. 2
    Temperance

    The crimes are shown at length, and a lot of the audience came for that.

  7. 7
    Truth

    The cure is a lie with a bill: he complies only because he cannot choose.

  8. 2
    Stewardship

    Nothing worth keeping remains, only a man emptied out and the crimes shown.

Live historically

Ask whether a man who cannot choose the good is anyone you would call cured.
