This month we again watched a film of our own choosing and then shared a review of our reactions. Of course, there was a wide range of films watched, including a documentary and a TV series. These included “Lawrence of Arabia” (which has perhaps not met the test of time), “A little Chaos” (set in the time of Louis XIV), “Dolittle” (a recent release that did not meet expectations), “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” (an adventure/comedy with underlying drama ), “Whisky Galore” (a remake of a 1949 film), “Les Misérables” (good story, good performances and good music making a great film), “Bonfire of Destiny” (a Netflix series), “Diana, Her Story” (her story from childhood to her death), “The Devil Wears Prada” (an engaging comedy/drama), “The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas” (set during WWII, an emotionally charged film that makes you think).
The class members continue to enjoy the process and we will continue with this approach until we are able to resume our usual class sessions. Joy Shirley

About our Film Discussion GroupDo you enjoy watching films? Do you find discussing films adds to your enjoyment? Do you find that you can better understand a movie by hearing and sharing thoughts about the film? We certainly do. At our Film Discussion classes we discuss a film we have watched during the month.
Films screened at the Benalla Cinema or at Swanpool provide a range of films that could be of interest. Where upcoming films are known these may be discussed at the class to help select films to watch during the following month, and if several people see the same film, this can add to the depth of discussion.
