Worst Movie

I agree with the OP and Telos123. McGovern's story is masterful in creating the character "Liam", depicting his virtue while he struggles with the torment a predominently Roman Catholic society has imposed upon his conscience. McGovern does an excellent job in defining Liam's character and deserves literary (though McGovern did not write a novel but a screenplay) praise equal to the similar characters depicted by Joyce (Joyce's alter-ego, "Stephen Dedalus") and Behan ("The Borstal Boy").

This film was dark and shouldn't be viewed for mere "entertainment" value. It simply is in another venue, altogether. I do think the Director leaves the viewer with a sense of "void" or even confusion, at the end of the movie. For this reason, I believe it reduces the overall quality of the film, as the rendition of McGovern's story is lost,in a way.



See what a difficult situation you've created. Proud of yourself now are you?

This flick don't have enough Catholic crap in it. I need to spit.

Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.

outstanding film with great imagery. reminded me of THE WALL.
