December Meeting:
Our Annual Holiday Party plus
“American Beauty” movie, analysis and discussion
At our December meeting,
we will watch the movie “American Beauty” as well as listen to
“Beauty and the Beast,” an analysis of the film by David Kelley, and
have our own discussion of the ideas presented in the movie. We will also
have our annual holiday dinner at the meeting.
“American Beauty,” the
Academy Award-winning movie, stars Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening and is
arguably one of the best movies made in recent years. “Beauty and the
Beast” is a philosophical analysis of the movie by David Kelley of The
Objectivist Center. Dr. Kelley explains that the movie is a study of the
alignment of forces in our culture today, particularly in regards to
views on individualism.
For our holiday dinner,
our hosts will provide the main dishes. Everyone is welcome to bring a
salad, side dish, snack or dessert to complement the meal and the movie.
Join us on Saturday,
December 15, at 7 p.m. at the home of Joy & Jeff Kiviat for a fun
evening of food, cinema and discussion. Call (314) 469-2723 for
directions.
