BY LINDSEY BAHR

ASSOCIATED PRESSSteven Spielberg’s “Bridge

of Spies,” much like its mis-understood litigator, is a film that plays the long game. This complex Cold War drama soaked in shadows, blues, grays and furrowed brows, is a slow burn that challenges the audience to trust where it’s going.

In this fictional rendering of how a Brooklyn insurance lawyer ended up negotiating a high-stakes prisoner exchange at the height of the Cold War, Mr. Spielberg and writers Matt Charman and Joel and Ethan Coen toss details at you, shake them all around and piece them back together in the third act, when the form of the puzzle starts to take shape. Only then can you begin to fully appreci-ate just how lean and purpose-ful every moment is.

Suddenly that seemingly random conversation about clients and incidents from the first act isn’t an outlier after all – it means everything. As a first-time viewing experience, it’s like not realizing you’ve been playing a game of chess until you’ve already lost.

That’s all to say that “Bridge of Spies,” which waxes poetic – and occasionally cynically –on patriotism, honor and duty, echoes in your mind long after the credits roll and begs for a second viewing.

On the page, “Bridge of Spies” is the story of every-man James B. Donovan (Tom Hanks), a lawyer and family man who takes on the thank-less task of representing Soviet Agent Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) in a trial, only to then be called on to negotiate his exchange for a detained U.S. soldier on behalf of the CIA. But that’s just scratching the

surface of this very thoughtful meditation on doing the right thing – embodied in the bur-geoning friendship between Abel and Mr. Donovan.

Mr. Donovan fights for Mr. Abel despite the scorn of the public, the indifference of the legal system and the dan-ger to his family. When he goes to Berlin to negotiate the exchange of Mr. Abel for a detained U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell), Mr. Donovan decides, against the wishes of the U.S., to try to tack on the release of another imprisoned American, as well.

This all makes Mr. Donovan sound like a martyr. The film fights against that cozy idea, though. Mr. Donovan is not sentimentalized or propped up in an unbelievable way. In Mr. Hanks’ hands, Mr. Donovan is a real person, runny nose, doubts and all. Reality, tedium and wit supersede the hyper-

bole of the great man myth. In this way, it makes “Bridge of Spies” feel like a spiritual companion to “Lincoln.”

Perhaps most unexpected, though, is how Mr. Rylance sneaks up on you and proves himself to be the heart, soul and standout of the film.

The Shakespearean actor is actually the first person we meet, in an elegant, nearly dialogue-free opening show-ing the FBI’s real time pursuit and arrest of Mr. Abel. Cold War-era fears want to paint him as the face of the enemy, but Mr. Rylance makes Abel sympathetic, and even docile. He plays him as a highly intel-ligent foot soldier who’s seen enough to know that even pos-sible execution isn’t enough to get worked up over. It’s impossible not to like him.

But the story’s focus on Mr. Abel is juxtaposed with near indifference to Francis

Gary Powers and the detained American student Frederic Pryor (Will Rogers). Mr. Donovan wants to get them both out, and is confident enough in his negotiating skills to defy the CIA in the process, but the film doesn’t seem to care if you care about them – at least not in the way it does for Mr. Abel.

It’s in these unexpected details and choices that Mr. Spielberg continues to defy our skeptical movie expectations. He has a point of view, he has a plan and he remains in a class of his own in his ability to both execute those ambitions and entertain in the process.

“Bridge of Spies,” a Walt Disney Studios release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some violence and brief strong language.” Running time: 142 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Review: ‘Bridge of Spies’ is an absorbing slow burn

Kites are expected to fill the sands and skies of Atlantic Beach for the 28th annual Kite Fest this weekend.

It’s set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, and Sunday, Oct. 25, with a 6 p.m. night fly on Saturday, at an all-new location.

Due to scheduling conflicts, Kite Fest, which is usually held at the Atlantic Beach circle, will be held at the Sands Villas Resort.

“The Sands are generally a good place to hold events,” said Don Dixon of Kites Unlimited. “There is much more sand between the dunes and the ocean. We are very lucky that they were able to accommodate us.”

The free event started as a way for Kites Unlimited to say “thank you” to their customers. Over the years, it has devel-oped into a large participation and spectator event.

The event is completely focused on family entertain-ment and will feature many kite-themed activities on Saturday and Sunday, with dif-ferent activities planned for various wind strength.

Kite Fest: New location, same entertainment

There are many activities planned for young children to enjoy including kite building, bowl races and candy drops.

During the bowl races, chil-dren will pull a large, circular fabric bowl in a race against the wind.

During the candy drop, an airborne kite will hold a bag of candy. Children will have the opportunity to pull the ripcord

and enjoy the candy that falls from the sky.

There will also be general kite flying and celebrity kite fliers.

Big Al, from Illinois, will bring his large kites. Mr. Dixon said these kites are about the size of a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloon.

The Bay Area Sundowners, from San Francisco, Calif., will also be at Kite Fest, per-forming their choreographed kite routines.

World-class kite designer Dodd Gross, of Connecticut, will offer beginner and advanced kite-flying lessons for those who buy one of his kites.

Local kite designers and builders will also be featured during the event.

Kite Fest is a large par-ticipation event, and Mr. Dixon said people enjoy coming and showing off their kites and what they can do with them.

“It’s a beautiful spectacle,” Mr. Dixon said.

For more information on Kite Fest, call Kites Unlimited at 252-247-7011.

Kites of all shapes and sizes will be featured at the 28th annual Kite Fest, at a new location, the Sand Villas Resort in Atlantic Beach. The festival is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, and Sunday, Oct. 25, with a night fly at 6 p.m. Sunday. (File photo)

This year there will be 17 different ghost haunts with

spirits lurking among the liv-ing.

anxious bride and her mother. Then go back to the 1830s at Tryon Palace’s Dixon House to learn all about that family

As autumn rushes in with its crisp evenings, falling leaves and pumpkin spiced everything, Carteret Community Theatre is working on something spicy of its own.

In celebration of All Hallow’s Eve, lurking just around the corner, the theatre is busy in rehearsal for “The Rocky Horror Show” directed by Alex Russell, who directed “Into the Woods” and “The Great American Trailer Park Musical.”

The show will start at 8 p.m. each night and runs Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 24, and again from Thursday, Oct. 29, through Saturday, Oct. 31.

“Rocky Horror” is a crazy kind of tale, but it’s not a child-friendly show. The show is only for those over the age of 15.

Tickets are $18 through $30 depending on seating. They can be purchased on the theatre’s website.

Fresh off of the huge success of “Oliver!,” the theatre offer s a new kind of show to a new kind of audience. With a coat-ing of gray paint and the addi-tion of a few “tricks and treats” the Carteret Community Theatre stage has been transformed from Charles Dickens’ Londontowne,

Carteret Community Theatre to present ‘Rocky Horror’ just in time for Halloween

with its old world stonework and soft architecture, to the cold, stark gothic fabulousness of Frank N. Furter’s Transylvanian manor.

“A socko wacko weirdo rock concert,” as described by WNBC TV, this hard-driving musical follows the story of two straight-laced, star-crossed

lovers, Brad and Janet (Alex Winn and Catherine Edwards) after their car breaks down on a stormy night. They take ref-uge in a nearby castle and thus begins a night they won’t soon forget.

The list of characters bring-ing mayhem and madness to the stage are castle owner, Dr. Frank

N. Furter (Michael McGinn); butler, Riff Raff (Clayton Rusich); maid, Magenta (Krissy Boccia); groupie, Columbia (Grace Murdoch); Rocky Horror (Christian Bredice); Eddie Ex (Matthew Paquette); Dr. Scott (Mickey Muns); the Criminologist (Bob Kenward); and a gothic array of phantoms

and fellow Transylvanians. Choreographer Courtney

Rose has the actors and actresses tripping the “Time Warp” fan-tastic. Providing the sound for this deliberately kitschy, sci-fi rock fest is the band, The Rocky Horrors, led by Tracey Long.

Celebrating the 40th anniver-sary since it first debuted on the big screen as “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” this musical has a cult following of fans that come to the show in their very best Transylvanian transexual garb (black lingerie, fishnets, eyeliner and lots and lots of eyeliner) who have developed, over the years, their own form of “participa-tion” through props and respons-es prompted by the script. The attendees are, quite often, a show within the show.

Every night at Carteret Community Theatre, the show will kick off with a costume contest. Those interested in the contest can sign up in the lobby and then strut their stuff on the Frank N. Fantastic stage and let the audience decide the most delicious Transylvanian of the evening.

to return to compete at the beginning of the final perfor-mance on Halloween night for the top prize, a $50 gift certifi-cate provided by Libby Eaton of The Bistro By The Sea and two tickets to the theatre’s next pro-duction.

As is the custom with the Rocky Horror experience, audi-ence participation is the high-light of any production of “The Rocky Horror Show.”

To provide audiences with a fantastic array of props and yet stay within the guidelines of live theatre, Carteret Community Theatre will be providing partic-ipation bags (complete with cues and instructions) for sale online

with ticket purchase or for sale at the theatre in the lobby prior to each show.

The theatre asks that audi-ences please refrain from bring-ing their own props. Certain items, such as water and rice, could provide a safety issue for the actors.

Premium seating is available for access to “the Pit” – the per-fect place to hop up during the show and do the “Time Warp” along with the cast. These seats will likely sell quickly, so be sure to get them while they are available.

|15For its 17th season, Carteret

Arts Forum brings Jack Gibbons, English pianist and George Gershwin virtuoso, to Carteret County one last time before he returns to England.

Mr. Gibbons will perform at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, at the History Museum of Carteret County in Morehead City.

Tickets are $35 and can be purchased online at www.carteretartsforum.com or at the door. Youth and college students with a valid college ID may purchase tickets for only $5. For more information, email sales@carteretartsforum.com.

Mr. Gibbons explores the lives of composers through words and music. He renders Mr. Gershwin’s pieces exactly as the composer once played them. For this reason, Mr. Gibbons is considered to be one of the world’s greatest interpreters of the piano music of Mr. Gershwin.

Mr. Gibbons has established a reputation as one of the fin-est pianists of his generation, and his concerts are regularly received with standing ova-tions at New York’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, as well as London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, where he has appeared annually for over 16 years.

In 2002, he won special praise for having fought his way back from a near-fatal car accident to perform once again to a capacity crowd at both Carnegie Hall and Queen

Elizabeth Hall. The British press described

his achievement as “miracu-lous” and “gutsy” and the BBC again hailed him as “The Gershwin pianist of our time.” Described by the Sunday Times as “a remarkable talent,” Mr. Gibbons is now also becom-ing known as a composer. His music has been performed with great success in New York and London, and recorded by the BBC.

For more information about the program, contact Peggy Brown at 252-354-5537 and leave a message.

Subscriptions for the 2015-16 Carteret Arts Forum season are available online. Carteret Arts Forum lowered subscrip-tion prices to $120 this sea-son.

Individual ticket prices will be $35 for each of the three performing artists and $20 for each author, a savings to sub-scribers of $25. The CAF accepts credit cards and checks by mail, as well as cash, check or credit cards at the door.

Carteret Arts Forum was founded in 1999 as a volun-teer, nonprofit organization for the benefit of Carteret County and surrounding areas.

It strives to promote and edu-cate through the cultural arts. Carteret Arts Forum makes a special effort to include area students and may support monetarily selected local arts endeavors and events.

Award-winning military jour-nalist and former Marine Corps officer Tracy Crow will join Carteret Writers on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to share advice on writ-ing a military story for those with military experience, as well as their extended family mem-bers.

The meeting will start with lunch and networking at 11:15 a.m., followed by the free presen-tation at noon at Golden Corral in Morehead City. Anyone inter-ested in writing is welcome, and no reservations are necessary.

Anyone with a relative who served knows the military expe-rience impacts the entire family. According to Ms. Crow, the sto-ries written by family members are some of the most moving.

The military story is not always a war story.

As Ms. Crow said in a recent interview, “My memoir does not include combat, because at the heart of all military stories lies the revelation of how one’s life has been affected by military service – by the long separa-

Carteret writers meeting to focus on military topics

TRACY CROW

tions, military customs and tradi-tions, combat or training deaths, survivor’s guilt – whether that service was rendered direct-ly or indirectly in the cases of spouses, significant others, par-ents, grandparents, children and grandchildren.”

As a former assistant profes-sor of creative writing at Eckerd College in Florida and visiting instructor at the University of Tampa, Ms. Crow taught basic and advanced courses in all fac-ets of journalism, fiction, play-

writing, poetry and memoir. Her essays and short stories have appeared in a number of literary journals and been nominated for three Pushcart Prizes.

After almost 10 years of ser-vice in the Marines, she wrote her own memoir, Eyes Right: Confessions from a Woman Marine, which won the Florida Book Awards bronze medal in general nonfiction.

To help others share their stories, Ms. Crow combined her skills in the recently pub-lished On Point: A Guide to Writing the Military Story. It’s the guide she wishes she had when she first started writing about her military experience, and it addresses the often-emo-tional experience of recording a story for self-exploration, family legacy or publication.

She hopes the book will inspire a cross-generational sharing of the military experi-ence, and if needed, a heal-ing. Writing is already being

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Carteret Health Care will offer free breast screenings on Saturday, Oct. 24.

The free screenings, offered by Carteret Health Care’s Cancer Center, run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the County Health Department in Morehead City.

“It’s so important that we spread the message that early detection and prompt treat-ment of breast cancer saves lives,” said Kim Davis, nurs-ing supervisor at the Health Department.

“We want women to take

charge of their health by get-ting regular breast screenings. While Saturday’s screening is open to all, we hope that women who are uninsured or underinsured will take advan-tage of this opportunity,” she added.

If the screening detects a potential problem, women will be referred for a mammo-gram. Also, some may qualify for the Health Department’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) to receive further screening and treatment.

“We currently have open-ings in BCCCP for women

between the ages of 50 to 64 who meet the age and income guidelines,” said Ms. Davis.

For example, an uninsured or underinsured woman liv-ing in a two-person household with a gross income up to $39,825 would qualify for the program.

While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. Early detection is key in fighting cancer.

According to www.earlyde-tectionplan.com, one in eight

Carteret Health Care offers free screenings for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. When breast cancer is detect-ed early and is in the localized stage, the five-year relative

survival rate is 100 percent.For more information on

the breast screening, and to schedule an appointment, call 252-499-6200.

The Beaufort Historic Site will welcome children tak-ing part in Kindergarten Thanksgiving, the Beaufort Historical Association’s autumn educational program.

The program will take place on Monday-Friday, Nov. 2-6, 9-13 and 16-20.

Students will visit four sta-tions on the grounds of the site, each designed to teach them about a different aspect of life as an early Beaufort resident.

Hands-on activities, such as the popular butter-churning station, allow the children to participate in the entire process of making butter, from milking the cow to serving the final product.

Other activities include peri-od dress up, open-hearth cook-ing, and gardening, spinning and weaving.

Children will also have the chance to experience the many chores involved in the daily housekeeping of an early American home and they will have the opportunity to see

Beaufort Historic Site to host Kindergarten Thanksgiving

Beaufort Historical Association volunteers John Austin and Liz Burke show Newport Elementary School children how a Thanksgiving meal was prepared in colonial days during last year’s Kindergarten Thanksgiving. (Cheryl Burke photo)

what grew in local gardens during those times.

Docents will show how the children would help their mothers mending clothes and linens and practicing stitch-ing.

The Beaufort Historical Association works through programs such as Harvest Time and Kindergarten Thanksgiving to educate children about the

rich history of Beaufort and Carteret County.

The program is put on almost entirely through the help of volunteers. These vol-unteers work with the schools’ curricula to develop programs relevant to class work.

Kindergarten Thanksgiving is offered to kindergarten classes from public and pri-vate schools across the state,

as well as home-schooled chil-dren.

For more information, on this program or any of the Beaufort Historic Site’s upcom-

ing events, call 252-728-5225, stop by the Beaufort Historical Association’s Welcome Center at 130 Turner St. or visit www.beauforthistoricsite.org.
