"Well it wasn't my little donkeys shite was it, it was me little ponys shite which shows how much you were listening." Lol that line kills me every time.
The best part of this movie is that both of these men were so self absorbed that the only right person was Siobhan, who left the island.
loved her so much, needed more screen time
And that poor boy Dominic
This movie is about Colm’s late midlife crisis, as he has no family to reflect on other than his dog. It was a “shit or get off the pot moment” he didn’t realize until too late. The biggest tragedy is he’ll only be remembered for his severed fingers.
It's about the Pro-Treaty IRA and the Anti-Treaty IRA and the British state tbh
@@OldSkoolWaxit's definitely much broader than that
It's not a midlife crisis, it shows how some people never find their calling like pollock and just wander aimlessly through life with the same brain they had in their childhood.
I have friends like that who never changed since our teenage years, and they're dull, with no real interests other than hooking up with girls, drinking and saying stupid things. People like that do make you feel like you waste your life seeing them again, nothing of substance to talk about.
Pollock is better than the fellas i'm mentioning, but the principle is the same, it's boring when folks stay the exact same forever.
@@OldSkoolWaxit’s not
He had a bad friend. A friend who judges, belittles, and expects things from you beyond just a friendly companion. Honestly, he's kind of emotionally abusive.
Who are you talking about?
@@PanagiotisLafkaridisColm, I'm assuming.
This whole movie has made me consider, for two years, what’s the difference between kind and nice
I want to make this clear to anyone who sides with Colm in this situation. Your friends don't owe you a damn thing. If you liked their company, and they liked yours, then thats the end of it. Your friends don't owe it to you to become more interesting people or to entertain you. Colm was fine to cut off his friend if thats what he wanted, but that would be on him and his poor taste in choosing friends, rather than Padraic's for simply being his friend.
Lets also make it clear, that's just one point of view
But isn't the film, on one level at least, about how difficult it can be to stop being friends with someone? We've all got or have had friends that become a pain in the arse or that we grow apart from - so isn't it a bit of an over simplification to say that it's a matter of Colm's poor taste in choosing friends? Especially given he lives on a tiny island with a limited population. I think what is really fantastic about the characters in Martin McDonagh's work is they are never simply good or bad or right or wrong - he up ends the assumptions you make about characters you identify with - like how Pádraic tells that fella his mum has died - up until that point I had cast him only as the innocent victim of circumstance. This I think is why his films are so interesting because that's how people are in real life but most films don't reflect that aspect of real life.
why would you think they owe you something
Well do you think padraic was right to send Declan away when colm was given an opportunity by him?
God, the brilliant subtle acting from Farrell... You can just viscerally _feel_ how hurt he is... ughh
Colm’s mistake here was tying Padraic to aimlessness and dullness. If he had just said, “I’m sorry, I’m despairing and I need to spend my time thinking and composing, but it has nothing to do with you” there would’ve been a better chance that Padraic would’ve understood
I love how he is like …I’m sorry we can’t be friends b/c you are too dang boring! 😂
I love how you sound exactly like how Colm sees Pádraic.
These two characters are stuck in the in between of right and wrong .
This is arguably the best take from this whole movie and it's allegory on the fractured history of Ireland and I can't believe it showed up here way down in the comments with 1 like
holy fuck thankyou for explaining this movie to me
@@OldSkoolWax
Colm is your typical “what have I got to show for my existence”. He’s reluctantly become bored with mediocrity but can’t seem to fill that sense of emptiness within himself. Essentially he wants what he can’t have. Hence why he detests Porric who has been able to hold onto his happy go lucky demeanour. When Porric however becomes broken by Siobhan leaving and his donkey dying, Colm realises the damage his
selfishness has caused.
What's funny is that if Padraic had just gotten out of his own way and actually listened to Colm, they probably would have stayed friends. Colm is in pain and he's afraid, but all Padraic sees is himself and the effect this is having on him. Padraic is selfish with everyone in his life, but he can't see it. It's so poetic it had to be Irish.
Thank you! I have no idea how so many people took his side in this conflict, the man just would not fucking take a hint. He was a leech who was so self-absorbed that he barely noticed Domenic's tragedy unfolding right beside him. No wonder his sister got away from him.
His sister wrote the letter asking him to come to her. She didn't run away from him. @@JimmySteller
His sister didn’t runaway from him, she run away from life on Inisherin. In the letter she says she even was willing to prepare a bed for him to follow her.
“Huh?” 😂
@@eddydraconian Yep, she run away from the island, to not turn out like them.
Kinda had this colm moment. My cousin who never speaks to me often gets married...i got jealous decided not to speak with her and she keeps bothering me about her marriage and all that...and i was ignoring her and she asks me if she did something wrong and i just told her.....i just don't like her no more.
Reading 😂
Poor padraic
1:32 I'll take my pint outside, because it's A SHITE TUNE ANYWAYS.... I wouldn't bother with this!
