Film discussion: "Phoenix" - we will watch it at the event - for ages 20s–40s

About the event

Inspired by the Lessons From The Screenplay and Beyond The Screenplay, I have selected films I want to watch and talk about.

We will watch the movie then discuss it. We can discuss things like themes, characters, screenwriting, filmmaking technique, etc. For especially weird movies we can take some time to figure out what actually happened and what it means.

Special double discussion event!! After this event, we will have another discussion event for the 1958 Hitchcock film "Vertigo". For the Vertigo event you must have already watched the movie.

No potluck, but you may bring food & non-alcoholic beverages if you want.

The movie will be played on Blu-ray (which has noticeably better quality than streaming) to a 60-inch LCD TV (from 2010) and an actually good 5.1 surround-sound system with a 12-inch subwoofer.
