I actually unironically like this film. It's genuinely funny, the acting's good, and the only half decent thing on the LC course, Cáca Milis be damned.
I'm not Irish but this language sounds so beautiful to the ears and doesn't sound 'local' or 'bushy' as history told. Why did the Irish lose such a beautiful language?
We didnt exactly lose it. Theres just a lot of controversy up in the north whether to speak less of it. Most protestants do not find it as part of our culture.
@@lorcanmcglinchey5344 It's not really about religion, I don't think. I mean, I'm Protestant and I love Irish, but I'm not from Northern Ireland so I can't really say much about the conflict over Irish down there.
In a word... colonialism. According to my mother her grandfather, who was born in the late 19th century, had to wear a stick around his neck and if he or his classmates spoke Irish, they were beaten by the teacher. Over 90% of the people spoke Irish until after the famine (1845-1849), when the population was reduced by over 25% (1m dead, 1m emigrated); Irish then became the language of the poor, dispossessed and excluded; English was the language of government, business and education (especially higher education) and of the cities and larger towns. The decline had nothing directly to do with religion and it's entirely understandable that the majority of protestants in the North of Ireland don't see it as part of their heritage. On the other hand, protestants historically had a huge amount to do with preserving and promoting the language. For example, the Gaelic League was founded by Douglas Hyde (among others) and he became the first president of Ireland in 1937. It's a truly ancient language (the oldest written vernacular in Europe other than Greek) and, like Irish music and literature, is central to Irish history and heritage. It is not, nor should ever be, seen as exclusive or excluding. Is teanga stairiuil é agus go mbeadh an t-ádh le na daoine a labhraíonn é!
is aoibhinn liom an shitty gearscannáin seo, tá sé gleoite agus greannmhar agus gruama ag an am céanna. is maith liom é, cé go bhfuil an caighdeán san ifreann.
Wow, a beautiful example of what a short can bring. Humour and depth, with culminating insight into what what ultimately matters. Our teachers can be anyone. Scannán iontach. Gonna check out what else Cian de Buitléar has done.
GOOFY GOOBER I have to agree, the movie, while entertaining, cannot be deemed a piece of cinematic art, worthy of the academy’s consideration. I will be sure to enjoy this short film with the peers in my Irish class as soon as I tell my muinteoir about it. Good day!

We didn’t lose it so much as it was violently taken from us unfortunately.
Funny and educational.

Better quality audio on this one

What is the music at 4:24 called?
Mick.
The song itself is Twilight by Bass Odyssey, the style of music is called jungle!
8:32
click click click click...
really liking the cinematography and the music and the writing, but the click click click is awful.
Thought I was the only one thank fuck
doubly annoying that the ones without the click are either shortened or lack subtitles
I watched while doing my A levels. Genius film and great cast. Truly does show the pressure of an actual oral exam.
Excellent film. We love this in St Aidans. Has this been nominated for an Oscar
