Film Club screens football drama The Slaughter Rule Description:
Bullied, neglected, and cut from the football team, things are rough for Roy Chutney (Ryan Gosling) until he joins Gideon Ferguson (David Morse) and his 6-man football squad. But even as the two become friends and the team begins to bond around them, Gideon's overwhelming interest in Roy leads Roy to wonder just why he was asked to join the team in the first place. A complicated coming of age drama set in rural Montana, The Slaughter Rule premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2002.

The Slaughter Rule was directed by Alex and Andrew Smith, Montana residents who have since made other movies filmed and set in the state, including Winter in the Blood and Walking Out. Does six-man football look uncomfortable? Well it should, as some of the final scenes in The Slaughter Rule were filmed in temperatures 10 below zero, the coldest November on record in Great Falls.

Note: The Slaughter Rule is Rated R for Violence and Profanity.

There is no charge for the film, and donations will be accepted to help defray the cost of showing the films. The movie and popcorn are free; wine, beer, pop and water will be for sale. Seating is provided, but film fans can bring their own floor pillows, portable chairs, or whatever is comfortable for viewing the film.

The Northwest Montana History Museum is located at 124 2nd Ave E., Kalispell. Call 406- 756-8381 for more information.
