But apart from that though, you enjoyed it?I went to see Belfast last night, in a great wee old cinema in East Belfast...and to be honest, i thought it was shite, schmaltzy and apologetic.
Did you also have the piece from Kenneth Branagh at the start? The fact he had to explain the film just added to the sense that Branagh is playing the "woe is me, look what i had to escape" bollocks....in addition to the "for those who stayed, for those who left" dedication at the end...it comes across that he is trying to portray some sort of trauma from the troubles.....you and your family fucked off mate, leaving your grannie behind.....you didnt experience the troubles.
There is literally no story....the troubles are starting, should we leave the country? yes/no, ok lets leave.
It touches on the fact that in many streets, people happily lived side-by-side...but no explanation as to how and why things became worse. And Judi Dench's "Belfast" accent was straight out of Dublin!
How this film has 7 Oscar nominations i do not know. To me it felt like an extended Tourism NI advert.....with dozens of stereotypical colloquialisms thrown in for good measure.
For it to be the story of a young boy from Belfast, it comes across as film directed by someone who only came here once to visit his long abandoned grandmother and is trying to absolve himself of guilt
Oh, and Van Morrison can feck off too :-)

Power of the dog, utter wank. If it went any slower it would just stop, wish it had. One of those films the lovies like, hence Oscar nominations, found it painful to watch and why the fuck do we have to have a Brit doing American?
