963: FOR THE LOVE OF SPOUSES AND SIBLINGS—A FILM
July 11-14, 1:45 PM - 3:15 PM
Online Discussion
Using the movie, Dad (starring Jack Lemmon, Olympia Dukakis, Ted Danson, and Kevin Spacey as a young boy), we will explore a range of family emotions: love, anger, and ambivalence. This three-generational family struggles with old hurts, conflicts, misunderstandings, current illness, death, and unhealthy alliances between parent and child, and the results of gender traps. The film demonstrates family related themes and how each generation negotiates and deals with anger (as well as senior sexuality). You will be pulled to take sides, forced to think differently, warmed, charmed, laugh, and shed a few tears.
