FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2020 39 Classic Film Group We are finishing up with famous director Clint Eastwood and one of his trademark movies, Unforgiven. It won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director in 1992. Join us Tuesday, March 10, at 6 pm in The Lodge Theater. Following the movie, we'll have an open discussion on Clint Eastwood's trademark movies. To Eastwood, scenery is more than scenery, and this film is his last western movie. Here's a brief synopsis: William Munny (Clint Eastwood) is a widower with two young children. He was once a very vicious gunfighter, but after marrying, gave up gunfighting, drinking, and most other vices. His wife died of smallpox in 1878, but he continues to try to eke out a living with his children on their hog farm, and to try to be the kind of man he believes his late wife would want him to be… It is now 1880. Munny reformed for his young wife, and has been raising crops and two children in peace. But now his wife is dead. Farm life is hard. And Munny is no good at it. As a retired old west gunslinger William Munny reluctantly takes on one last job, with the help of his old partner Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman) and a young man, The "Schofield Kid" (Jaimz Woolvett). He saddles his ornery nag, and rides off to kill one more time, blurring the lines between heroes and villains, the man and myth.

Our first monthly screening, on Sunday, March 8 at 6 pm, is the film Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am (USA 2019, 2 hrs. 0 min., English). Here is a brief description from Amazon.com: "An artful and intimate meditation on the life of the legendary storyteller and Nobel Prize winner. From her childhood in Lorain, OH to '70s-era book tours with Muhammad Ali, from the front lines with Angela Davis to her riverfront writing room. The film includes discussions about her many critically acclaimed works, including novels The Bluest Eye, Sula, and Song of Solomon, her role as an editor of iconic African-American literature and her time teaching at Princeton University." Our second monthly screening, on Sunday, March 22 at 6 pm, is the film Pavarotti (UK 2019, 1 hr. 54 min., English).
