Comfy irishkino that progressively becomes more fucked up
high calibur kino
Its a metaphor for the irish civil war.
no it isnt
It really isn't. And if that's what the director was going for, they fucked up really bad.
Why?
>Why?
Because the story has no actual parallels with the causes, conditions, or anything actually to do with the anything that actually went on during the Irish civil war. The only connection is that the story takes place in a fictional island off the coast of Ireland during the same time period that the Irish civil war was also going on. There's no plot beats that make it an allegory or a metaphor though, it's simply the setting where the film takes place.
A good allegory is usually fuzzy and doesnt have a 1 to 1 correspondence between symbol and referent. Colm and Pádraic supposedly each represent the two factions of the war, the Free State and the IRA. But it is ambiguous as to who is representing what. You could make the case that Colm = IRA and Pádraic = Free State but you can make an equally convincing case for vice-versa.
>Colm: old guy that wants to break the status quo
>Padriac: younger guy that wants to conserve the status quo
which one is one
Even the director himself has said it's just a setting and that people shouldn't try to interpret Colm or Padraic as representing one of the sides
It's all nonsense because the troubles didn't randomly start one day because either of the sides decided they no longer wanted to be friends with each other, and nothing about what goes on in the movie in any way mirrors any of the things that actually occurred during their conflict. If you're so convinced, you should be able to show your work- actually cite some examples of how the story mirrors the events of the irish civil war. Like name a thing that happened in the troubles that you can point to in the movie. Like name one single thing
It's the other way around. The war is an allegory for their breakup, rather than the breakup being an allegory for the war.
WHY FOUR FINGERS AT THE SAME TIME YOU RETARDED OLD FUCK
2 hours of barely intelligible micks bickering on with each other
irish depression that people pretend to like without being able why
Funny dark comedy with a sort of absurdist style. Pretty decent but "In Bruges" is still better.
It's not funny or a comedy. McDonagh said it wasn't either. That's just the label that stuck because obnoxious critics talking shit trying to impress each other like always.
are you rowin'?
I laughed out loud at some parts, therefore it is a comedy. I dont care what some gay critic has to say.
I agree. I dunno if it was unironic or not but the banter was kino.
why the fuck was he just walkin around with his bloody nubs bleeding on everything? why the fuck does no one react when he's just straight up bleeding all over every surface at the pub? the movie has a few fantastical aspects but that was just straight up fourth wall breaking
Dullness.
A steaming pile of shit, simple as. Unlikable characters, inane boring plot. Donkey unironically upstaged the whole cast.
/thread
the best part is no one cannot say what is good about it without simply saying "you're a retard"
says a lot about the irish
did you get the remux or Dolby vision version?
A really long break up
