i think the sister was the greatest lesson. she finally escaped the hell hole that the island was instead of blaming her misery on a specific person or settling like everyone else. the one guy was obviously struggling mentally from it
Colin Farrell had some nice character development over that. He let he leave, didn't hold her down or call her back. Maybe because he loved her, maybe because she wasn't a pretentious pseud like Gleeson.
are you autistic?
imagine having a best bro you go to class with or to work with every day for years and one day he just says >sorry anon i dont want to be your friend anymore because you are boring af
i would be butthurt too
I know it's some kind of metaphor for the Irish Civil War, which is why you hear the gunshots from the mainland at certain points. But beyond that, I honestly don't know.
People say that the whole movie is an allegory to the irish/british conflict
I guess im too much of a moron to make that connection i just thought that the movie was fantastic on its own without having to go looking for hidden meaning
Probably the best movie i have watched recently, which is a bleak prospect
>literally called "Ireland Island" and director calls it a pastiche of Irish island towns during the war
I know it's fictional you stupid fricking homosexual. It literally translates to "the Island of Ireland", as a point. Christ it's not even subtext.
the war is a meme analysis and isn’t the main theme of the film. it’s about depression with a life unfulfilled. a man with a good friend and good people, who gets pissed every night and plays his fiddles goes insane and cuts his hand off.
>Large themes are "memes"
None of you zoomer morons ever know what you are talking about, the larger message is the allegory for the civil war...it MANIFESTS in the relationship between the two friends. Learn 2 watch movies.
don't listen to the pseudos. the film is about a man coming in terms with his mortality. most of the metaphors in the film can't be applied in the context of the irish/british conflict just because you have two friends fighting.
When a friend, or a girl, says she needs some time alone, agree and say sure, appear as supportive of their choice as possible. Then block them on everything and let them go.
The Irish Civil War was actually really important and which side won would have huge consequences. If anything it was an unusually meaningful and consequential war for how relatively few people actually died in it.
It speaks the same language and isn't some special snowflake about trying to use different like building materials and plugs and shit than Britain but there is simply no explaining to a subject the ambient satisfaction and relief of looking at the UK this up close and not being in it.
Also the importance of the Civil War goes beyond that. There's a chance if the pro-treaty side lost Britain would have escalated the counter-insurgency to Boer War/Mau Mau uprising levels.
>movie comes out >Cinemaphile is full of zoomies who either didn't watch it or pretend it's bad >wait a year or two >now we have threads about it >give it like 6 months to have them go "is this kino???"
Rinse and repeat for every fricking thing.
>met him in my early 20s >the guy was a party animal >his mother is a CEO so they have money >we always laughed at him skipping classes and being lazy, thinking he will grow out of it >he stops going to school while we all graduate >I still hang out with him because he has some irons in the fire >I get myself an internship, finish it and then find a job >he still hasn't done anything >his mom retires and gets really sick >she literally has to beg him to show up for an interview she set up because that is the last chance for her to employ him >he gets a cushy job but is annoyed that he has to drive 40 miles every 3 days (literally 40 miles every 3 days >stupid butthole quits the job in hopes of something better will come up >2 years pass >his mother dies >turns out she only had a few thousands in her bank account >he tries to get sympathy for losing his mom (at the age of 32 I might add) >one of the friends uses a favor with his boss and gets him a job in the warehouse >he quits after 2 days
He is really boring and in his mind he is rich and influential and above the "regular" jobs and all he talks about is expensive cars even though in a few months he won't be able to afford food.
He always had a really bad mentality. His mom was at the height of her power during 2015/16 and he just sat an his ass thinking they were billionaires and that he would never work a day in his life. Also his mother and him literally spent every cent of her salary and the guy probably thought that it will last forever so a part of that is on her and the way she raised him. He is such an butthole you would think he is a character from succession. This is the exact quote he said to the guy who found him the job in the warehouse.
>This might be enough for you but it is not for me
Honestly, yes but not because of the money, it is because of his delusions. It is like I have a kid and I have to tell him to get a job. He is so fricking entitled and ironically it started showing when he lost the money.
He is also a liar, he hated his mom and he quit the job because he was lazy but he tells everyone he quit the job to "nurse" her to health. To him that meant sleeping till noon and bringing her mcdonalds for lunch because a real man does not cook.
Yea this movie hit when I was in the process of cutting off a friend too, I knew him all my life but we were best friends for 12 years.
It took me a long time to realize that he's a leech who will end up homeless, he leeches off his father until his father kicks him out then he leeches off his mother until she kicks him out, then repeats the process.
I would get him drumming gigs and he would make excuses I would get him jobs and he would fail, I would do these big projects and he would suddenly be depressed or something and not participate.
He started pushing me aside to hang with another leech and play video games all day and I finally had enough, last I heard he was flipping burgers and got fired from that too, once his mom dies, god bless her soul, he's absolutely fricked.
>He started pushing me aside to hang with another leech
This is so fricking true. My guy here used to always badmouth this other guy who was "momma's boy" who still lived with his parents and was always dreaming big and nowadays they hang out constantly, not looking for jobs together.
>This is so fricking true. My guy here used to always badmouth this other guy who was "momma's boy" who still lived with his parents and was always dreaming big and nowadays they hang out constantly, not looking for jobs together.
this is me with my friend i used to call him out for not working ever and now we both live at my parents house lmao. i havent had a job for 4 months now. getting a new one next monday. kitchen shit but it pays well. hope i wont frick it up. its sad looking at my parents getting old. i can see it in their eyes they are deeply disappointed in me, but they are very ncie so they wont tell me so...
I don't think it was intended as an explicit allegory for the Civil War, with Colm being one side etc. More like what happens when you do things you can't take back, innocence lost etc, which of course applies to the war.
then there's seeking greatness vs. being a good person which is probably the more prominent theme.
I'm actually baffled that you guys are arguing about whether the movie is allegorical or not. Of course it is.
However, it being allegorical doesn't mean it can't (and doesn't) have its own plots and themes separate from the Civil War. There are multiple subplots and characters in this film, it's not so binary as to say "it's only about the war, or it's only about friendship." It can be about all these things, but also family (the sister, the kid and his dad, etc), love, depression, etc etc etc.
Geez.
>Of course it is.
i enjoyed the movie but the civil war allegory totally went over my head. explain it to me how it is an allegory for civil war like the moronic anon i am
We just don't like you anymore, anon
Blaspheming and blood oaths protend fratricidal violence.
Life is boring and silly fights happen because of it
We live, love, and laugh in a society
i think the sister was the greatest lesson. she finally escaped the hell hole that the island was instead of blaming her misery on a specific person or settling like everyone else. the one guy was obviously struggling mentally from it

please don't tell the lesson was to IMPROOOVE
if you want to simplify it like a moron, maybe.
donkeys are cute
>that filename
It was the last movie I enjoyed and it was like 5 years ago now. Frick.
If someone doesn't want to be your friend anymore, then you should leave them alone. The events of the movie didn't even need to happen.
Disgusting PIG
are you autistic?
imagine having a best bro you go to class with or to work with every day for years and one day he just says
>sorry anon i dont want to be your friend anymore because you are boring af
i would be butthurt too
best movie of 2022
That I'm too moronic for shit like this
>I'm too moronic for shit like this
I don't understand. Are you saying you're too stupid for Comedy? It's not a deep movie, and it's meant to be funny.
Dramatically less funny than Father Ted.
I know it's some kind of metaphor for the Irish Civil War, which is why you hear the gunshots from the mainland at certain points. But beyond that, I honestly don't know.
don't ask a woman if she was wild
STOP WASTING TIME OF YOUR LIFE BROWSEPOSTING: DO SOMETHING CREATIVE.
someone post the moment where she is anxious about going out for once. she's so perfect in that scene
i can't believe jamie lee curtis won over her for literally doing nothing
You an' me, anon? We're rowin'.
People say that the whole movie is an allegory to the irish/british conflict
I guess im too much of a moron to make that connection i just thought that the movie was fantastic on its own without having to go looking for hidden meaning
Probably the best movie i have watched recently, which is a bleak prospect
>he couldn't make that connection
anon, you literally see the fricking war happen at the end. They talk about it multiple times.
Yes the war is obviously happening, i mean that i dont see the connection of the conflict being represented in the two main characters
Go eat a dick
That's like, the main thing...it's the singular message of the movie. Are you memeing? Why do you think it was in Inisherin?
>Why do you think it was in Inisherin?
do you mean Ireland cause Inisherin doesn't exist
>literally called "Ireland Island" and director calls it a pastiche of Irish island towns during the war
I know it's fictional you stupid fricking homosexual. It literally translates to "the Island of Ireland", as a point. Christ it's not even subtext.

post somewhere else

I was so excited to see a new mcdonough movie and it was so boring i couldn't get halfway through. Hopefully it isnt this bad from now on
I love how this movie started with a Bulgarian song.
Niceness doesn't last. You die and no one will ever give a shit about you anymore if you don't do something about it
it was all in relation to the civil war and how the fighting was essentially over nothing, they just displayed it with individuals.
>comfy af movie the landscape shots were beautiful
>definitely wanted to frick the sister, the accent does it for me
The Irish Civil War was actually really important and which side won would have huge consequences. If anything it was an unusually meaningful and consequential war for how relatively few people actually died in it.
And yet Ireland became just like England in the end. Curious
It speaks the same language and isn't some special snowflake about trying to use different like building materials and plugs and shit than Britain but there is simply no explaining to a subject the ambient satisfaction and relief of looking at the UK this up close and not being in it.
Also the importance of the Civil War goes beyond that. There's a chance if the pro-treaty side lost Britain would have escalated the counter-insurgency to Boer War/Mau Mau uprising levels.
Kill yerself, yer homosexual OP
something something Hegel something something escalation of conflict something something
best movie of 2022 to be honest
>movie comes out

Rinse and repeat for every fricking thing.
>movie comes out
>people on a film board post varying opinions over it
How long do I have to put up with this mental torture
>newbie thinks this board has "discussion"
>it's a moron puts something nobody said in quotes episode
I'm tired of this schizo arc
>newbie thinks greentext is "quoting"
Why are you so mad?

Don't you have anything better to do?
>poo poo pee pee blah blah
>an actual good movie in the current year 2020+2
>mfw doesn't win shit
stop blaming other people for your failed ambitions
a lesson Cinemaphile oughta learn by now
Marry your sister so she doesn't run away and get raped.
I love Border Collies. Best dogs
I am in the process of doing this to my friend.

He is really boring and in his mind he is rich and influential and above the "regular" jobs and all he talks about is expensive cars even though in a few months he won't be able to afford food.
Nobody asked for the blog post, also you sound like you lack emotions if you don't have empathy for someone losing a parent.
>Needs to be asked in order to act or assert himself
Yikes, what a sad existence.
You just invented all of that cope in your head.
I would love to watch a movie about that
Basically rags to riches, but in reverse
He always had a really bad mentality. His mom was at the height of her power during 2015/16 and he just sat an his ass thinking they were billionaires and that he would never work a day in his life. Also his mother and him literally spent every cent of her salary and the guy probably thought that it will last forever so a part of that is on her and the way she raised him. He is such an butthole you would think he is a character from succession. This is the exact quote he said to the guy who found him the job in the warehouse.
>This might be enough for you but it is not for me
be honest anon. would you still want to be friends with this dude if he still had a lot of money?
Honestly, yes but not because of the money, it is because of his delusions. It is like I have a kid and I have to tell him to get a job. He is so fricking entitled and ironically it started showing when he lost the money.
He is also a liar, he hated his mom and he quit the job because he was lazy but he tells everyone he quit the job to "nurse" her to health. To him that meant sleeping till noon and bringing her mcdonalds for lunch because a real man does not cook.

That movie hit hard for me because I got COLMED as a teenager by my best friend and it still lives rent free in my head.
I don't think it was intended as an explicit allegory for the Civil War, with Colm being one side etc. More like what happens when you do things you can't take back, innocence lost etc, which of course applies to the war.
