🎧 Film Club #2: Places in the Heart

found family in Places in the Heart

Human beings are intertwined. Our existence is like a drop of water into a pond and it ripples, and all the ripples go out. These last ripples don’t seem to touch the initial drop, and yet they’re related. We are all interwoven and we need each other.

~ Sally Field, on the ending of Places in the Heart

Wow, what a joy it was to talk with both

Tory Crowley

and

Ben Wright

about Places in the Heart! Tory and Ben both had great takes, and we all laughed a lot.

Places in the Heart was our May Film Club pick, and you’ll have to listen to our podcast convo to find out why Ben suggested it. (Hint: it has something to do with a deep cut from the movie Ben is mimicking in the first few second of the episode…)

Also, please watch the film before listening to the podcast! We spoil all the spoilers.

In this episode we mention:

• A 1984 NYTimes review of the film

• A 1984 Roger Ebert review of the film

• Days of Heaven, a Terrence Malick film from the 1970’s

• How Broadway shows (and art in general) can appeal to the elites and bourgeoisie

• Days of Heaven, again

Thank you for watching with us, and listening! Like and share this episode, and subscribe to find out what our JUNE FILM CLUB pick is!
