The Way We Were

Screenwriter: Arthur Laurents

Producer: Ray Stark

Vidiots remembers the iconic actor, director, activist and legend Robert Redford with a special screening of the epic love story The Way We Were.

Fall in love all over again when absolute icons Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand tackle the highs and lows of romance during an era of political oppression in Hollywood. Opposites attract when, during their college days, Katie Morosky (DIVA Barbra Streisand), a young Jewish activist, meets Hubbell Gardiner (LEGEND Robert Redford), a feckless WASP. Years later, in the wake of World War II, they meet once again and, despite their obvious differences, attempt to make their love for each other work. But as McCarthyism looms and the blacklist is ending careers through political witch-hunts, Katie’s days on the front lines threaten to derail Hubbell’s attempts at a screenwriting career.

Remembering Robert Redford:

Robert Redford’s legacy is not only in the films he made, but in the way he lived – committed to the power of human and earthly connection, to truth, storytelling, and showing us that championing artists and sharing stories is pivotal to a healthy, open society.  Off screen, he championed the environment, independent voices, and the radical idea that stories can change the world. All who love and make movies are forever indebted to Redford and the path he forged. We’ll remain ever mindful of his constant message that storytelling is activism and that movies are a powerful force for hope.
