5.0 out of 5 stars awesome movie about death, February 10, 2008

By 

philo "justin" (MISSOURI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 48 Angels (DVD)

I thought this was an awesome movie! Three different perspectives on death: Seamus' premonition of his own death from a heart condition, James' inability to deal with the murder of his father, and Darry's frantic attempt to run from being hunted down. The interaction is interesting. James is a Protestant and Seamus (the Gaelic equivalent of James)is a Catholic--ingredients for a clash that is always on the verge of erupting but at the same time overcome by a fraternal attraction between the two boys. James' sarcastic responses to Seamus' spiritual observations on life are brutally delightful, but Seamus has no fear of James' sarcasm. Darry seems to be either unconscious or asleep most of the time (the three characters are in a boat for much of the movie), but James and Seamus do everything they can to keep him alive. That seems to be an important element in how the two boys are dealing with death.

I'm sure I will watch it again, but as a rule I don't re-watch a movie until I've allowed it to sink in after some time. Many may find the movie boring and uneventful, but I had no problem with that....most of us live boring and uneventful lives, after all.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lost in Translation, March 24, 2008

By 

City_girl (NY Metro, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 48 Angels (DVD)

I believe there must be a great deal of Irish cultural subtext here. Even as an American of Irish descent, much of this was lost on me.

There were far too many loose ends.

Instead, I recommend "Into the West" and "Millions".
