Robert Redford on the Company You Keep (69th Venice International Film Festival) HD

http://myetvmedia.com/film-review/the-company-you-keep-robert-redfords-modern-day-parable-venice-premiere/ When superstar Robert Redford, icon in the world of film, founder of Sundance, steps into the arena with a new film we all wait with great anticipation. At 75 Robert Redford does not need to be working this hard so he must have a story he really feels compelled to tell. Sure enough, The Company You Keep is a subtle story that has a few very poignant and timely messages delivered by a powerful cast; Robert Redford, Shia LaBeouf, Julie Christie, Susan Sarandon, Nick Nolte, Terrence Howard, Stanley Tucci, Sam Elliot and Brit Marling. Redford has chosen to revisit an event, a revolution that was carried out by young American activists that turned violent thirty years ago. The activist group was called the Weather Underground. Neil Gordon wrote a novel based on the Weather Underground and some of the people involved which documented the personal repercussions of their involvement. Redford says he was attracted to the story because it was a story about truth and how far a father would go to protect his child. Sharon Solarz (Susan Sarandon) delivers a poignant message to the journalist Ben in jail. She speaks of the mistakes that were made and the sacrifices she has made but she says with utter conviction and clarity that she would do it all again, just better if she had to, because she believed in the enormity of the wrong being perpetrated by the other side.
