FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2020 41 Classic Film Group Tuesday Night Classic Film Group 2001: A Space Odyssey on Tuesday, April 14 at 6 pm in The Lodge Theater. We are moving on to the famous director Stanley Kubrick and screening one of his trademark movies. Following the movie we will be having an open discussion on Director Stanley Kubrick's trademarks and his influence on sci-fi film. Unlike any other science fiction films before it, 2001: A Space Odyssey stayed in line with the laws of physics. The Ultimate Trip: Storyline "2001" is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth (presumably elsewhere throughout the universe as well). Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon's surface, where yet another monolith is found, one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between the computer (HAL) and a human (Bowman) to reach the monolith placers. The winner will achieve the next step in evolution, whatever that may be. The immediate reaction is that it was intentionally buried. When the point of origin is confirmed as Jupiter, an expedition is sent in hopes of finding the source. When Dr. David Bowman finds faults in the expeditionary spacecraft's communications system, he discovers more than he ever wanted to know. HAL, the ship's computer, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time. We show films you generally won't find at the Cineplex: documentaries, foreign language films, indie films and any other smaller, well-reviewed films that don't get wide distribution. Our first monthly screening, on Sunday, April 12 at 6 pm, is the film Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivens (USA 2019, 1 hr. 33 min., English). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com: "Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins tells the story of media firebrand Molly Ivins, six feet of Texas trouble who took on the Good Old Boy corruption wherever she found it. Her razor sharp wit left both sides of the aisle laughing, and craving ink in her columns. She knew the Bill of Rights was in peril, and said "Polarizing people is a good way to win an election and a good way to wreck a country." Molly's words have proved prescient. Now it's up to us to raise hell." Our second monthly screening, on Sunday, April 26 at 6 pm, is the film Mike Wallace is Here (USA 2019, 1 hr. 30 min., English). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com: "For over fifty years, 60 Minutes' fearsome newsman Mike Wallace went head-to-head with the 20th century's most influential figures. Relying exclusively on archival footage, Mike Wallace Is Here interrogates the interrogator, tracking Mike's storied career and troubled personal life while unpacking how broadcast journalism evolved to today's precarious tipping point." All of our screenings are followed by lively discussion about the film; we'd love to have you join us. The Lodge Theatre has very limited seating, so if you're interested in our screenings, come early. We hope to see you there. Please note that all films announced are subject to availability.
