-------Sorry I haven’t gotten the chance to update my blog recently, I’ve been super busy having adventures all over Ireland and Scotland the past week and a half! So here’s the stuff I missed-----
Today we went to the Irish Film Institute to watch Irish movies for the morning. We watched a cute short film called “Yu Ming is Ainm Dom” about a young Chinese man who spent 6 months learning Irish, only to move to Ireland and find out that everyone spoke English. Next was an absolutely shocking movie named “Six Shooters” that was the weirdest movie I’ve ever seen. That’s all I can say about that movie unfortunately. It’s supposed to be dark humor, but if it was funny, it was definitely too dark for me. “Pentacost” was about a boy torn between being a good alter boy in the Catholic church and following his love of Gaelic football. It was a pretty funny short film. We watched a feature film next called “One Hundred Mornings.” This was sort of an Irish post-apocalyptic movie, and I’m still not sure what the point was of it at all. While the acting was amazing, the plot was too artsy for me to enjoy. However, all of these movies are winning huge awards for Ireland in International film festivals.
