The Irish Leaving Cert syllabus had something for everyone. Whether it was about a blind man who dies after being lied about a worm in his cake, a poem about a toxic relationship between a married couple, a story about a hit and run outside a chipper, picture stories about nightmare holidays in Malaga or listening questions about how friends casually tell each other about how they won 10k in a lotto…
Looking back, I actually think this is very well made and one of Gleeson's best performances. It's the film that manages to permanently disturb and disgust thousands of Irish students, and you can't get that reputation by being lazily made.
My favourite part was when he took the glasses off and said "Maybe the real treasure was the caca milis we met along the way". Follow that, Ridley Scott
This is one of the films of time. I liked the part where she said, "I am Cáca Milis" and then Cáca Milisd all over him. Truly the pinnacle of Irish cinematography.
This movie is peak Irish filmography. My favourite part was when the guy stood up and said "It's Cáca Milis'in time" and Millis'd all over the train. Truly the most exquisite scene of all time. Bravo Vince.
I can't help but feel offended for how they treat the blind. Yeah this guy was annoying but I'm sure blind people don't eat food like that. Unless they're Helen Keller
I watched it today and boy I can relate to the man. I have asthma before and it was bad. Had it for 2 years. The ending of this is really disturbing. She does nothing to help him and she just let him die because of her being annoyed by him.
Just after watching it today in school. I'm 15 I'm too young to be scarred. What is with with all the Irish poems and short films we study being dark af.
She knew that he was blind for the entire journey. If I was her my first instinct would be to move to a different seat where I can read my book without anyone disturbing me!
@@marcellaoreilly8909 Gotta hand it to them. I didn't expect Mr. Gleeson to be in this and I didn't think I'd see a blind man suffocate. Hmm. Ireland is a scary place at times lol
Yeah, snowflakes can't survive a film like this. How can a teacher show a film where you hate both of the characters? What if some part of the student sided with the evil c**t who basically killed a man? Then the student would have to confront that side of himself. You just can't do that to kids.
Also is it me or are all of the Voice actors for the listening test from Louth,Cork,Kerry and Dublin it's like they want us to not understand a thing they're saying.
As an exercise after watching this we had to DEBATE about if the woman was justified in what she did.... Which is SUPER fncked up because WHY WOULD ANYONE DEFEND HER she LITERALLY killed a man out of annoyance. Nuts.
More like left him to die but yeah she saw he was easily agitated so she used it to her advantage and just kept the inhaler barely out of reach and with him not only blind but in a current state of panic he wouldn't notice. So yeah technically she murdered him
I can't say what I think of the woman without being censored. She is a right . However, I really hate the guy too, and almost can't blame her. I think the whole point of the film is "which of these two characters do you like the least?"
We were watching this in school but we never reached the end of it because the school bell rang. I remember saying out loud that I didn't like the woman and she just rubbed me off the wrong way. But some other kids in class who had seen it said that the old man is actually the bad guy. Few months later, I come back to watch this to the very end and I still have no clue what they meant by that...
She felt that her choice of who approached her was being violated and many women see average or below average looking people as a threat to their social standing. The man knew his way around the car but chose that seat out of habit. He could have chosen another seat. Also the woman was a spinster
I came back here to relive the nightmare that was the Irish leaving cert. i remember this, an triail and that poem about the lion which was actually about cancer :/
My brother mentioned this to me last week and I had some extremely vivid flashbacks. It's been about ten years since I saw this for the Leaving, and I had "forgotten" all about it.
We were doing an exercise on this and a girl behind me was like 'what are some words to describe him?' So I turned and looked her and her friend in the eye and said 'marbh' super seriously
I’m an American who has an interest in the Irish language and thought it would be so cool to go through the Leaving Cert… until I found out I would need to watch this piece of work
Pól was so nice and only really wanted a chat. I get she was reading her book but like she couldve been some bit human and entertained him. Poor lad, shes pure evil
My irish teacher put this on for irish class. 💀 Altough she wasn't going to as it is a little inappropriate but the students begged. Xd Also why'd the woman let the poor man die just because he was disturbing her. Lady cruel damn💀💀💀
We watched this in school today and it was traumatizing Edit: on closer inspection I realized that the food cart people could save him because when cut from oxygen the body enters sleep mode to try and save what little it has left so if the cart gets to him before he is officially brain dead he could be saved
Instead of killing poor Brendan, Charlotte should have told him to fup off, you fupping fupper, and that she was there first (she was the woman in the couple arguing with Ted and Dougal in the picnic episode).
A true hidden gem. Brilliant acting performances. Funny thing is, when you immerse yourself in the story the running time of this short seems to be much longer than the actual, a mere 18 mins. I'm aware of this movie being meme-fied to oblivion and accused of ruining the lives of few generations of young Irish people tho 😂
Like an O3 but I got decent points. Am a student in trinity rn happy days. Don’t sweat the lc just do the work now and don’t dick around and wait until March.
