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

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!

genuine llove dis film

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.

@@katanah3195 I understand i mean im familiar with Linda Irvine. She is also protestant and loves the language.

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!

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

i remember my irish oral examiner he was so quiet so classy and Sean McGinley captured that

Mick.

The song itself is Twilight by Bass Odyssey, the style of music is called jungle!
