The Right Stuff

Name: The Right Stuff scores 73 — Live Historic
Item: The Right Stuff

73Worth an evening.

Watch it for nerve that is mostly skill, and stay long enough for the wives.

Pass it on

The review

The country wants these men on television. The film would rather stay with the ones still flying at the edge. Test pilots, then the first astronauts, and Yeager is the man who will not become a product. The wives are in it, which keeps the bravery from turning into a poster of single men. Courage here is competence. You feel the work in the cockpit more than the parade on the ground.

Show it to a teenager who thinks fame is the proof that a skill mattered. It is long, and some of the fun is how the noise gathers around the pilots. Under that, the marriages are actual lives waiting on whether the man comes down. I kept Yeager, still himself, and a country that got the footage it wanted without owning every man who did the flying.

Journal

Keep The Right Stuff in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 73. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

A Man for All Seasons

89 instead of 73

A Man for All Seasons is still a drama film, and it scores 89 instead of 73. What you gain is piety: Faith is the center, and it is not a mood.

The eight

9
Industry
Test pilots and astronauts live by competence, and the film prefers that to the parade.
7
Household
The wives are in it, so the marriages are lives and not a cutaway.
4
Piety
Nobody is stopped by conscience; the standard is whether the flying is true.
9
Courage
They risk the edge of flight, and the courage the film trusts is skill.
8
Republic
The country wants the daring on television and still owes the men who do it.
7
Temperance
Yeager will not become a product, and the film sides with him against the parade.
7
Truth
The parade can lie; the film keeps saying the real thing is the flying.
7
Stewardship
The country gets its pictures, and at least one man is not spent as a product.

A Raisin in the Sun

73Worth an evening.

Worth an evening. The check is not the prize. A house, and the man the son is going to be, are.

Pass it on

The review

A father dies and the insurance money arrives in an apartment that is too small for the people in it. The son wants to invest in a liquor store and become someone the check can make him. The mother wants a house. The sister wants a school. The daughter-in-law wants the marriage to survive the son's idea of himself. A man from the neighborhood they are moving into offers to pay them not to come. The offer is the country's sentence, and the film does not blur the man's politeness into innocence.

This is one of the few pictures of the decade I would clear a weeknight for without a hedge. Watch it as a family argument before you watch it as a document. Ask what the son thought the money was for, and what his mother knew it was for. The answers are a stature and a house. The film is on the side of the house, and it is right. Older children can sit through it. The yelling is the sound of people who are not done with each other.

It's a Wonderful Life

85 instead of 73

It's a Wonderful Life is still a drama film, and it scores 85 instead of 73. What you gain is piety: Prayer is not a joke here.

The eight

7
Industry
The mother cleans other people's houses. The son drives. The work is not abstract.
9
Household
Three generations in a small apartment are the subject, and each of them is a person.
6
Piety
The mother's standard is the conscience of the picture, and it is not a speech from nowhere.
7
Courage
She does the thing the neighborhood association is counting on a tired woman not to do.
7
Republic
A house in a white neighborhood is the public fact, and the film does not treat it as a symbol only.
6
Temperance
The son's scheme is the appetite. The mother will not let the scheme spend the family.
8
Truth
A dream can be a lie if it costs the people in the room. The film makes him see the cost.
8
Stewardship
A house inherits a mother who will not trade the family for a man's idea of stature.
