We watched the movie THE COMPANY YOU KEEP. It starred and was directed by Robert Redford. It is about a handful of men and women in
their late 60s and 70s who have
respectful careers, such as lawyers, college professors, judges, and so who
haven't seen each other in years, yet
they had something very important in common with each other.
They changed their names and were fugitives of the law,
namely, the FBI. In their youth they
were organized left winged idealistic radicals.
The belonged to the same group, the weather underground. .
One of
their exploits went wrong and somebody was killed- this part was vague, or I
nodded, I forgot which. The FBI has been
after them since. The FBI wanted to
catch them, even though it had been 50 years.... the FBI wanted them so badly,
maybe not because of the death, but because they have been hunting them for 50
years a so. They were a challenge. A young news reporter was inexperienced
enough to ask questions and look where the FBI didn't and flushed them all
out. That is about all you need to know. I think it was fairly good.
It also starred Julie Christie, Susan Sarandon, Nick Nolte,
Chris Cooper, Richard Jenkins, Terrance
Howard, Sam Elliott, and Jackie Evancho (her first movie).
