his partner in crime, robert redford, has been a supporter. we have a circle of 100 people who give each year. 30,000 associates give little each month above the subscription price in the belief it is not just a media institution but a community. there are 40 discussion groups around the country.

when i watched butch cassidy and the sundance kid, and i saw paul newman and robert redford up there, and that adventure, going along with them, and i felt terrible. when they got shot. when i saw all of that, i was a part of it. when i watched a movie is going through high school, and i am struggling with try to figure out how to talk to a girl, and i see movies that explore that same subject, i was learning, you know? i was learning that we all suffer through those things. stories help you get through. of course, there are more profound stories. there are a big, spiritual stories. what is like to live in the south during the depression. what it is like being an okie, trying to get out to california. those things can what in your view of the world. i knew a lot more about europe from films until i was aged 25 or 30. i did not get over there. i did not get a chance to see it, but i learned about cultures and people and places far from me. it is all i wanted to do. i wanted to be an actor for a while, but i always wanted to be a part of this. tavis: if you are. >> and i am, and very pr

i think he tested redford. he tested a lot of people over a period of a year and a half or something. and he was scraping the bottom of the barrel by the time he got to me. i don't think he knew anything about me. people said i was in a play-off broadway that got very good reviews. and i don't think he saw it i think he was told about it. so he sent it to me to read. and i read the script. and then i went and got the book and i read the book. and i had a panic attack. i thought why are they trying to ruin my career, which is just beginning now. you know because i'm starting to get parts, character parts, you know, and here is a leading man. and i turned down the audition. i was in new york off broadway,s auditions were if los angeles. and when he heard that this unknown act certificate turning down the audition, he called me up. and he talked me into doing it. >> rose: what did he say? >> he says you don't want to do it because -- >> and i said because, you know i'm a character acker but so far, you know, i am

i actually snuck and watched the movie, the '74 robert redford film. i is ad my test though.did i great on my test. don't tell my teacher. i hope she is not watching. this looks fantastic. it comes out on may 10th. it is shot in 3-d so make you get the right ticket price. >> let's talk about the superman flick that will be coming out too in june. man of steel. >> that trailer macme cry. it is so beautiful. look how beautiful that shot is. this is going to be considered a quote, unquote, true reboot of the series and we'll deal with him as an infant child, as an alien coming to earth and growing up with these superhuman powers. this comes out on june 14th. it was not shot in 3-d so when you are buying the ticket there, make the right choice. >> we have to wait a little bit long forth legend to continue of ron burgundy, anchor man two. >> i can't wait for this one. they are all coming back. they are right here on screen. they are keeping the plot very secretive. so i'm looking forward to see where they're going to go with this. there will be so many more hilarious jokes but the

over the weekend here, we spoke with robert redford, the founder of sundance, an academy award winning director, renowned actor, producer, activist. i asked him all his great commercial success in hollywood, how was it that independent film has become his passion. >> stories that are worth telling more the truth beneath the truth your given. or you think you know. i think like "all the president's men," what is the story? what is the truth about two guys doing that others were not doing that managed to take down a top figure in government? how did that work? it was about hard work. so for me, i started to get really obsessed with -- what is a personal story? what is the story that made so much money? i just went along with it. i was a young student in new york rid i watched that game show and i thought, wow. there's something wrong. the guy winning all of this, everyone is going all over themselves about this guy. i don't know i believe in. i never doubted the whole system was corrupt. and never doubted the whole system was rigged. i thought, that is another example, what is the truth?

so it was robert redford or brad.ays try to cast who i believe they really are at home. >> rose: cast them the way they are at home. >> everybody says why did you castern? and there's one thing i try to cast who i believe people really are and secondly it's a gut response. the true response comes from here in the end and that was sucdr a brilliant love storyÑi. >> properly taught and learned and acquired, a liberalfá education awakens and keeps alive the imagination. and by the iml"j.)jñ i don't mean fanciful things, but i mean capacity to see beyond the end of your nose and beyond the object in front of you. to see its implications, its origins, its potential, its danger, its charm. all the things that enable one to navigate in this difficult and complex world with a modicum of wisdom. with calm to be alarmed at every little thing happens and with resources that that in moments of stress after retirement a in illness and loneliness keep one's soul and body alive. >> i think the most extraordinary thing that's happene

. >> i'm ezra klein in for lawrence o'donnell, one of the great moments, when redford having just won the election, sits down on the bed taking it all in. the next few words are not just to ever film junky, pretty much to every political candidate. >> what do we do now? >> what do we do now? that is always the question, what do you do now when you have to govern? but it is not just a question that affects winners, sometimes losers of elections have to ask what do we do now? and for them the question can be harder to answer, after all, the winner in theory should do whatever they promise to voters. but the losers just watch them say no, take the republican party, they just lost the 2012 election at every federal level, they lost the presidency, at the senate, and fewer votes than democrats did in the house of representatives. but due to the way the house districts are drawn, they're still in charge. so they're in kind of a weird position. the argument lost, the american people didn't want what they were selling. but they're not out of office, their constituents want them to fight for t

a gentleman by the name of frank redford loved the concept of teepees and built it for people to staytravels. >> reporter: built in 1949 one of a network on the route now one of only two. the family took it over 7 years ago. >> it's a piece of americana you don't see anymore. >> reporter: heidi and her husband stayed the night we were there, they're from antioch. >> as a little kid we used to drive by and saw the teepees and always wanted to go in and see them. and so i told my husband about them. so we just booked a room and came down and stayed last night. >> reporter: she had her reservations. >> i heard there was actually a hooker hotel. >> reporter: there was a dark time in the '80s but all that is changed. >> inside is the completely normal room like you stay at any motel, refrigerator, tv, bed. >> reporter: kumar is a big cigar smoker. when he found out i enjoyed one now and again he said he had the perfect smoke for me. >> going to the super bowl. >> reporter: yeah. >> the colors represent the team that's going to be winning the super bowl this year. >> reporter: red and gold.
