69Worth an evening.

Micheaux answers the 1915 film with a school, and I will not narrate the lynching.

Pass it on

The review

Oscar Micheaux made this in 1920, and the white crowd was not the one that came. A Black teacher tries to raise money for a school in the South. The story includes a lynching. I am not going to describe it, and I don't want it described in this house. A teen can watch. I would stay in the room.

It argues against the tale the big 1915 film told, the one that isn't on this shelf. The country that bought that film did not buy this one. Put that in the talk afterward, not a recap of the part I refused to narrate. The work is a school and the money to keep it open. Miss this, and you only know the story the big houses preferred.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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

Consider this

Goodbye, Mr. Chips

80 instead of 69

Goodbye, Mr. Chips is still a drama film, and it scores 80 instead of 69. What you gain is household: A brief marriage opens him; the boys, year after year, are the household he has.

The eight

8
Industry
A Black teacher works to raise money for a school in the South.
5
Household
The school is for the children of that place, which is why the money matters.
7
Piety
The film asks a country to refuse the story sold by the big 1915 picture.
7
Courage
A teacher seeks school money in the South, in a film the white crowd did not buy.
7
Republic
A school is a debt a town owes, and this was not the film the country bought.
6
Temperance
It makes an argument, and it does not school the viewer to want another thrill.
8
Truth
It answers the 1915 tale, which the country bought while leaving this one.
7
Stewardship
The teacher is trying to leave a funded school, not a show for the big houses.

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.

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.
