Film discussion

We encourage our audience to have an opinion about the films they watch. We hope they enjoy our screenings but more importantly we'd like them to articulate what they do and don't like about what they've seen.
We believe in the power of storytelling and that all the films we show have a good story to tell while maintaining a strong point of view.
On this page we'll be sharing our thoughts about the films we've screened, and we'd encourage you to add to the discussion in the comments section.

Picture
This film is a perennial favourite with many people for lots of good reasons.

It's a good story well told that has great depth and is filled with strong symbollism. It has the most memorable lines that people still recite whenever you mention the film. It is authentic - the writer was once on a road gang himself, and every character is so well drawn that you believe the writer actually met these people (or someone very much like them) at one time.

Paul Newman is at his absolute best. He is charming, engaging, and even males will admit... very good to look at.

And over the course of the film you are taken on a wild and crazy emotional ride... from laughter to tears, back to laughter, and finally to tears that leave a smile on your face. This film is endlessly watchable... one of the greats in cinema history.

What are your thoughts?

Paul Newman is the main character that has talked about it this blog. He is charming and he is fit for the role. I believe in his talent and I know that he deserves that spot. We are all aiming for that goal and I want to give my warmest words to this man. I may not know all of the things that he has sacrificed, but I know that he has given so much in this project.
