No Other Choice
Hiya!
We saw director Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden as a group back in October 2016 [yes, we've been around that long]. This week, I've gone with his latest film, No Other Choice, screening in cinema 6 at 6:35pm.
We'll be in the usually meeting place [read on for details] from 6:25pm.
Hope to see you Friday!
Dan
**--=>+ Meeting Spot +<=--**
Outside the clothing store Black Orange. It is inside Lygon Court next to Brunettis. Join the group at the meeting spot 10 minutes before the start time or see us in the movie.
**--=>+ The Film +<=--**
Master filmmaker Park Chan-wook (Decision to Leave, The Handmaiden, Oldboy) returns with NO OTHER CHOICE, a searing corporate satire led by Lee Byung-hun (I Saw the Devil).
When Man-su (Lee), a paper industry expert with 25 years of experience, gets made redundant, his whole world begins to crumble. As his family reduces their lifestyles to accommodate for Man-su’s unemployment, they become at risk of losing their house as he’s unable to find another career position. After a year of working a dead-end job, he applies for Moon Paper, his previous company’s rival, and to ensure he gets the position, he sets out to eliminate the other applicants.
Darkly comedic and ingeniously made, Park’s NO OTHER CHOICE is a masterpiece of social commentary about work culture and climbing the corporate ladder.
Korean language, English subtitles.
**--=>+ Tickets +<=--**
Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward.
**--=>+ Afterwards+<=--**
We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice.
If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's.
Nation, Identity and Australia Day
Please join us this Sunday as we discuss nation, identity and Australia Day.
We will meet at the Captain Melville, 34 Franklin Street in Melbourne CBD, at 2pm for a 2:15pm start sharp.
There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged.
Glen will be leading the discussion this week. We have started to split into two tables to discuss as we have had increased numbers lately, and are looking for regular attendees who would be comfortable leading the discussion on the second table to put their hand up.
Find below some questions to consider, however these are free-ranging events and the below serve as a springboard for the discussion.
Some points and questions to consider
* What is a nation?
* Is national identity something we inherit or something we choose? How does one come to belong to a nation? What are the benefits and costs of belonging to a nation?
* What role should historical truth play in national rituals?
* What obligations do present generations have to past injustices?
* Do all nations tell simplified myths about themselves?
* What does Australia Day actually commemorate?
* What does Australia Day mean to different groups of people? Are there other countries with similar issues?
* How might recent migrants relate to debates around national identity and to Australia Day?
* Would you make changes to how Australia Day is currently celebrated?

CMG Pop-up Event: THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE at the Gateway Film Center!
Joins us as we get together to see possible-future-Oscar-nominee Amanda Seyfried in THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE! This biographical-musical-drama follows Ann Lee, who was the founding leader of the Shakers religious sect in the 18th century. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event;

TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zK_nzG36mk
BUZZ: Reviews have been solid but Amanda Seyfried’s performance has been universally praised. The film is earning an 89% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which says: “Illuminated by Amanda Seyfried's sterling performance, The Testament of Ann Lee accepts The Shakers' founder on her own terms and reaches its own rhapsodic highs as a result.” According to Next Best Picture, “The Testament of Ann Lee is an undeniably moving and inspirational story….effectively brought into the 21st century through powerful, stirring music.”
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 7:30pm showing and we’ll meet inside the theater lobby between 7:00 and 7:15pm! Advance purchase is advised.
