Well the reviews were mixed today after seeing the film Barbara. The rating by the group ranged from 2.5 - 4 (scale 0 - 5). Some said it was tedious and bleak, others stated it showed the main character's redemption of spirit by sacrificing her own freedom for that of another. The ending struck a hopeful note, but upon reflection one wonders what will happen to Barbara now, after her rebellious actions. It was mentioned, the Berlin wall was to fall in 1989, and Barbara would have her freedom after all.

The next two film dates are March 10 and April 14, for the first matinee film of the day. I will endeavor to provide some warning of the upcoming date, via email, and a link to the Hyland website, so you can take a look at the film we plan to view. See you next month!

We will be meeting Feb 10, 2013 at 12:45 pm to watch "Barbara" at the Hyland Cinema. It is a German film set in 1980. See you all there!
