Join us for a NEW discussion group: MOVIE TALKS. We select movies that you might have seen when first released, but warrant repeat viewing; or perhaps you never saw it but is one that may intrigue you. It may even be a movie that you are just dying to share with someone else! We will share information about the plot, characters/actors, and some of the behind-the-scenes trivia. This event is intended for those who have already watched the movie.
This month we will discuss Knives Out. It follows master detective Benoit Blanc investigating the death of the patriarch of a wealthy, dysfunctional family. The film features an ensemble cast which includes Daniel Craig as Blanc, with Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell, and Christopher Plummer. Interesting facts about this movie:
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a hidden cameo; his voice is used as part of a program in a scene in the kitchen
- Pay special attention to the portrait hung over the fireplace - the expression changes
- Johnson named the family members after 1970s rock stars
Join us after you watch this Agatha Christie-style whodunnit film. We will discuss its strengths, flaws and reactions that make this a movie well-worth seeing.
This program meets in the Yaz Room on the first floor of the library for approximately one hour.
