- Gabriel Conroy's final soliloquay from John Huston's film adaptation of James Joyce's short story 'The Dead'. It is the final story from Joyce's collection of short stories in 'Dubliners'.

I can't watch this dry-eyed. One of the most powerful short stories ever written in the English language, given the film adaptation which it truly deserves by a dying auteur. John Huston was breathing through an oxygen tube, sitting in a wheelchair, when he directed this film, and I can only imagine what he was feeling as he made the film. Such a powerful swan song before the end.
makes one cry each time
How can you not weep to hear this sad lamentation of a man who's forced to reevaluate himself and the world in which he plays so brief a part? The tragedy of Michael Fury pales in comparison to Gabriel's realisation of how empty his life feels in his middle age.
Haunting when I saw it back in 1987; haunting still. ❤️😢
One amazing irony is that the actor here died in real life before the actress who played his aunt.
Un écrin de finesse ,si précis. Va au cœur.
Thanks

Thanks for posting this. Before and after Joyce every book is useless.
