The cutest and funniest thing ever is the fact that Jenny, the miniature donkey in ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ had her OWN support donkey called Rosie. ;-; Just two miniature donkeys on an island in Ireland. GOD that’s so cute!

Colin Farrell in "True Detective"(2014) The Western Book of the Dead

S2E1

Det. Ray Velcoro works for the city of Vinci, California and has been on a downward spiral for years. He's divorced, drinks too much and has a violent temper. He's also in the pocket of local gangster Frank Semyon who years before provided the identity of the man who raped Velcoro's wife. He does odd jobs for Semyon, such as beating up a reporter who recently wrote a series on organized crime. Velcoro latest case is to locate City Manager Ben Caspere who hasn't been seen for several days. Sheriff's Det. Ani Bezzerides is good at her job but is estranged from her sister Athena - who does live cam porn - and her father who is now a new age guru of sorts. California Highway Patrolman Paul Woodrugh learns that he's been put on administrative leave after a young woman falsely claims he solicited sex to let her go free. These three police officers come together late one night when a man is found sitting on a park bench, dead.

The Banshees of Inisherin: A few thoughts

A roundup of the themes which were apparent to me on my first watch.

Padraic is content with his life - until he is cut off by his lifelong friend, Colm, after which he is forced to ponder the meaning of his existence and confront some uncomfortable truths about himself: he is "nice" man, but a limited person. As the villagers remark, Colm and Padraic were indeed an odd pair. While Padraic is "one of the good guys of life", Colm is a "thinker", a folk singer with an intellectual appetite and a desire to be remembered.

Does "niceness" leave behind a lasting legacy?

According to Colm, it doesn't. Niceness doesn't last, and that is why he has abruptly ended his friendship with Padraic. He is now dead set on leaving behind a legacy in the form of his music. He has decided to give his life a purpose.

The absurdity of finding a purpose and the pursuit of legacy

Here again McDonagh delivers a deeply cynical commentary on the purpose of one's existence. Colm's "purpose" ends his relationship with Padraic, and Padraic, for the first time, finds himself in possession of a purpose: vengeance. But this very "purpose" destroys the thing that was at the core of his character: niceness. He loses Dominic, his only other friend in the village, because of his desire for vengeance.

Existence is absurd, banshees seems to whisper. It is a bloody farce.

A bloody farce, quite literally.

What starts as a small town story soon becomes a tale of mythic rage

Colm starts chopping off his fingers at throwing them at Padraic's door every time Padraic barges into his life.

What does Colm want from Padraic?

Silence, he tells Siobhan.

Colm wants silence to be able to hear the sound of his own music.

With each finger he chops off, he's endangering his ability to play the fiddle - Colm is heavily aware of this irony, but he goes through with his plan anyway.

The message is clear - he would sooner suffer the loss of an appendage than suffer Padraic's continued presence in his life - it is a shocking declaration.

What do the fingers symbolise?

An accusation is the act of pointing fingers. So when Colm throws his severed fingers at Padraic's door, is it symbolic of an accusation?

There is yet another layer of irony here: Colm cuts off his fingers in a way to rid himself of Padraic, but henceforth every time he looks down at his hands he will be reminded of Padraic. So does he actually cherish his past memories with Padraic? Or did he simply not think his plan through?

Depression and male loneliness

But before Colm goes nuclear, before the craziness escalates, there is a time when Padraic is convinced that his friend is depressed. He discusses this in furtive whispers with his sister Siobhan, highlighting the stigma surrounding mental health at the time. When Siobhan asks Padriac whether he gets lonely, Padriac reacts as if it's an absurd notion, as if she had questioned his masculinity, once again bringing into focus the prevailing attitudes about men's mental health.

Dominic: The "Village Idiot"

It is clear that everybody thinks of Dominic as the village idiot, including Padraic and Siobhan. But over the course of the movie, we hear him make some astute observations, and as his trauma is revealed to us, we begin to understand his character better. His father, an abusive policeman, is the only truly villainous person we meet in the film.

Paedar: The Policeman

What makes Banshees so interesting is its refusal to pick sides: we empathize with both Colm and Padriac and laugh at and eventually grow troubled by the increasing absurdity of their actions. In Paedar, however, we meet a character who's unanimously awful. Whether he's a symbol of something bigger (how power corrupts/the moral bankruptcy of those in power etc) or meant to be taken at face value, it works in the film because we can place people like him in real life all too easily.

Confessions

There is something myth-like about Padraic's beloved donkey Jenny choking on one of Colm's severed fingers and fueling Padraic's rage, something vaguely biblical.

When Colm confesses to the priest that he feels guilty for having indirectly caused Jenny's death, the priest replies that killing a donkey is not a sin in the eyes of God. Slapping a policeman, however, he out points to Colm, is a sin.

And perhaps that is where things started to go wrong, Colm says.

An allegory for the Irish civil war

Across the water from inisherin, the village folk hear explosions. Banshees is set in 1923, and with this added historical context, the dispute between Colm and Padraic can be viewed as the civil war in a microcosm: brothers with a shared history violently fighting each other.

The Banshee

"The Banshees of Inisherin" is the title of the tune that Colm composes over the course of the movie, and of course, the title of the movie itself. While there are no literal banshees in the movie, the "ghoulish" Mrs McCormick can be likened to one. She looms over our cast of characters like a malcontent spirit and signals the death of dominic kearney, the deaths off the coast of inisherin, and the death of Colm and Padraic's friendship.

Colin Farell’s performance in the Batman (2022) feels like he passionately did research by watching Scorcese’s filmography, and other crime movie classics, only for his agent to correct him that he was actually hired for a comic book adaptation, one day before filming began.

#Listen I LOVE a more mobster crime gang interpretation of the Penguin #Also please Martin Scorcese please hire Farell in your next gangster drama he's obviously highly qualified for the job #the Penguin #the Batman (2022) #Colin Farell

A “QUICK!” Review of “Thirteen Lives (2022)”

I was always aware of the Thai Cave rescue but I never truly understood the challenge that the people faced during the rescue. This film succeeds in giving me an appreciation for everyone involved in this rescue.

Ron Howard delivers a gripping dramatization of the story and manages to keep it suspenseful, despite knowing the resolution. I also appreciate that the movie isn't just about the British Cavers and that the movie gives a lot of focus to what the Thai people did as well. It also helps that all the actors from Viggo, Colin to the Thai actors, give a great performance.

Thirteen Lives is a great retelling of the rescue and I highly recommend it.
