SUMMARY:RAAC Movie - The Order
DESCRIPTION:RAAC’s next free movie will be The Order\, a domestic terrorism thriller focused on the true story of how the FBI closed in on a violent anti-government militia in Freeland\, Washington. In the 1980s\, when the group was gathering adherents and weapons\, counterfeiting money and robbing banks\, local law enforcers\, uneasy dealing with domestic terrorism threats\, seemed to look the other way\, until the arrival of a determined FBI agent\, played by Jude Law. \nThe group magnetized ordinary citizens by emphasizing pride in family and religion\, and the supremacy of white citizens over others. Clustered into an isolated compound on Whidbey Island\, believers lent themselves to the urgent mission their leaders laid out: rescuing White Christian America from a communist takeover plot. Having accepted the premise that only violent upheaval could prevent disaster\, the group moved into battle-mode\, deaths multiplied\, and loyalty to a mesmerizing cult leader went unquestioned. \nViolent extremists make for violent movies\, but in this one\, the acting carries the day. Jude Law’s character exudes intelligence and commitment to a harrowing mission\, while showing signs of age and exhaustion. There are several moments when dialogues lapse into silence\, with facial expressions alone delivering the emotional punch. \nThe film is based on the 1989 non-fiction book The Silent Brotherhood: The Chilling Inside Story of America’s Violent\, Anti-Government Militia Movement by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt. The film had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in August where it competed for the Golden Lion award. \nThough the movie screening is free\, donations are welcome to offset production costs. Hearing assistance is available.

SUMMARY:RAAC Movie - Ruggles of Red Gap
DESCRIPTION:Ruggles of Red Gap\, a cinematic treasure from Hollywood’s past\, was a Best Picture Nominee in 1936 and stars movie legends like Charles Laughton\, Mary Boland and Zasu Pitts. \nAt the time Leo McCarey’s film was born\, the world was reeling from a global depression\, and authoritarian threats were multiplying. But the art form America helped define and popularize— the movies— offered a much-needed slice of magic. Glamour mixed easily with humor; actors and audiences delighted in good-natured satirizing of class and culture. \nThe plot of Ruggles the film centers on the plight of Ruggles the character\, who is the dedicated valet of a wayward English lord who gambles his servant away to a rough-hewn American in a poker game. The fastidious butler faces hilarious adaptations to the dot-on-the-map town of Red Gap in the uncultured American West. But there is a serious\, even redeeming\, element: dutiful Ruggles is becoming his own man in his transplanted life\, sparking a genuine wave of patriotism when he recites\, from memory\, Lincoln’s Gettysburg address. \nFinally\, this rollicking and timely movie provides an opportunity to re-encounter Zasu Pitts\, and to be reminded of her memorable name. \nAdmission is free\, but RAAC\, which sponsors Rappahannock’s movie program\, appreciates donations to cover production costs.

SUMMARY:RAAC Talk - Ken Grossinger
DESCRIPTION:The next RAAC talk will feature Ken Grossinger\, who has published Art Works: How Organizers and Artists are Creating a Better World Together. Some artists stand apart from hot-button issues of the day\, but throughout history\, others have deployed their creativity to push for reforms they support. Art can expose injustice\, offer commentary or mobilize public awareness. Grossinger points to Bryan Stevenson’s Equal Justice Initiative\, which brought together lawyers historians\, artists and architects to construct a cluster of museums in Montgomery\, Alabama\, to delve into\, and dramatize\, the legacies of slavery and racism. In various cities\, hundreds of murals mark the 2020 murder of George Floyd. In Art Works\, Grossinger writes that “if it hadn’t been for music\, the civll rights movement would have been like a bird without wings.” \nThere is no admission charge.

SUMMARY:RAAC Movie - La Chimera
DESCRIPTION:This film has surprised and delighted audiences on multiple fronts: great acting by Josh O’Connor and Isabella Rossilini; fabulously designed tomb-raiding scenes in Tuscany\, grubby commerciality amidst antiquity collectors\, and magical timelines that glide between past and present. O’Connor plays a renegade British archeologist who is haunted by a lost love\, while edging towards a new attachment\, amidst the antics of a group of ‘tombaroli’ who dig up beautiful\, long-buried objects. The acclaimed Italian-language film lives up to its mysterious title\, which is linked to a creation “that takes parts or aspects of different kinds of things.” \nThe film comes with subtitles. Admission is free\, but RAAC appreciates donations to offset production costs. Hearing assistance is available. \n
