Shaun Davey's music for Waking Ned Devine, a scene in which Jackie extemporises an oration to a living friend in the congregation. Uilleann pipes played by John McSherry.
My best Pal of 33 years was from Belfast. I sponsored him for his "Green Card", and he introduced me to this movie. We made a promise to do this piece at the funeral of the one of us who went first. I wound up doing it for him as the opening to his eulogy before about a thousand mourners who turned out for a transplanted solicitor who practiced law in a Mid-Atlantic County seat. I can never watch this clip without a tear in the eye and thoughts of him and our friendship!
Brings a tear to my eye every time ... "the words spoken at a funeral, spoken too late for the man that is dead" ... such beautiful words. I love the 'he had his faults' as a wonderful leveler. This movie is perfect
This scene always reminds me of trying to get my granny in her coffin out of her narrow corridor house. She ended up in every position possible. Had she been alive there would have been roars of laughter coming from the coffin.
One of the truly great moments in cinema. Whoever wrote that scene understood what life is about... and to match it with such poignant background music was truly inspired too - poetry!
I hope you've seen the movie and get what is actually happening in this scene. And this isn't me trying to "gatekeep" or anything -- if you've seen the movie, you understand what I'm talking about. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and find yourself a copy to watch. This really is a sweet scene, with or without context. I just don't want to post spoilers in the comments.
@@KennyVee What a berk you are Kenny... of course I've seen the film and completely understand the context of the scene. Moreover, I certainly don't appreciate being lectured to by a nitwit!
I tend to visit this clip in my cups at night, lost my dad over 30 years ago and mum passed last year at 93 . They were the best Irish I have ever known, kind, forgiving, open and caring, understanding and considerate......and ferocious when protecting their own. And their own included many other immigrants who werent Irish. They were my parents and I wish I was their equal x
I said this for my Uncle Jack, who died of cancer last year; John Harrington Jr. was my beloved uncle, and therefore also my great friend. But I wish I had told him that more often. The words spoken at a funeral are spoken too late for the man that is dead. What a wonderful thing it would be to visit your own funeral, to sit at the front, hear what was said, maybe to see a few things yourself. Uncle Jack and I, as well as my entire family, grew old together, but at times, when we laughed, we grew younger. If he was here now, if he could hear what I say, I'd congratulate him on being a great man, and thank him for being an uncle and a friend! R.I.P. Uncle Jack August 5th 1956-November 4th 2018 May we be forever in your debt!👼
One of my favorite characters in this movie is The Lotto Man. Sure, he represents a threat to the whole plot that these small-town, would be schemers have cooked up. But other than being in that position due to the plot, everything we see of him is a genuinely nice guy just going about business. He even gets an emotional reaction shot in this scene.
Hello from Greece!I LOVE this wonderful movie and I can't find here in RUclips.All ....they have only few minutes of this movie... Do you know where I can find it the full movie please ???Sorry for my English.☺☺☺
I found a DVD on amazon and bought a copy of the DVD a couple years ago, but I'm not sure they would have it in the correct region code for Greece. I wish you luck in finding it; it really is a wonderful film.
Michael J. Lotfus was my great friend . But I don't ever remember telling him that .Michael and I grew old together ,If he was here now, if he could hear what I say ; I would congratulate him on being a great man , and thank him for being a friend ....
Years ago I was going to use this beautiful oration at my great, good friends funeral but was unable to speak the words I was so overcome with grief, so I'll just say it now, thank you Ron, I hope I was as good a friend to you as you were to me.
Still among the top five best movies for me. I love them all there. Ian Bannon, David Kelly, James Nesbitt, Fionulla Flanagan , Susan Lynch, such a great cast. The best sad comedic movie there is. Thank you for sharing this.
This movie released in '98. Gone are Ian Bannen November 3, 1999 (age 71 years), David Kelly February 12, 2012 (age 82 years), Paddy Ward January 15, 2011, Anne Bancroft June 6, 2005 (age 73 years).
I have walked my path of almost 64 years now, and alone for the greater part with no such friend until i turned tonight and looked at my sleeping Wife and thought....That which you spent your life looking for Frank is sleeping beside me, and has been since i was a very young Man, and never any reason to explain myself to Zoe, for Zoe is my Misses, and i call her Misses, which she often told me that she likes me to call her Misses, with the greatest Respect of course on my behalf, and maybe for the first time in my life, but there is no need for the WORD MAYBE, but for the first time in my Life i no longer feel alone...and with never a need to explain myself....Never!
My best friend and I have agreed to troll each other when either one of us die. When all the mourners gather at the graveside, one of us has to put something really odd on the tombstone leaving everyone bewildered. A KFC chicken wing for example.

The movie is well worth watching. It's a superbly good film. Rather than googling it better to just watch the film so you understand better why he had to improvise here.

The beauty of this scene stuns me.
May I add, the tears always flow in this scene.
One of the most beautiful scenes in film history.
One of the most underrated movies ever made.

You are absolutely right. This is a perfect movie that stands alone.

Laughing through tears at this one, mate.
❤
One of the greatest movie scenes, ever
Yes , Indeed
Indeed.
Truth
yep, you can bet on that.

My favourite scene in any film ever.
David Kelly rip
Waking Ned Devine is an utter masterpiece
One of the best 90 second segments in any movie!!
_(I've seen this scene a dozen times, I already remember every word...)_
"Michael O'Sullivan..."
_(Ungghg)_ **tears begin**

Simply a great movie.It showed us what is important in life.Money itself is not a bad thing,but in the end is worthless.We should value our friends.

1:50 - one of the great moments in any film.
This makes it even more heartbreaking when you realise Ian Bannen died 1 year later after the film was released in a car accident.
A small, simple film, but one of the absolute greats. A beautiful, poignant scene.
Tears every time but what a scene from a fantastic film. The scene could stand alone but within the context of the film it's an absolute stunner.
“He had his faults”. The Irish way. Don’t let you’re mate get a big ego.
Such a perfect line
Years ago I was going to use this beautiful oration at my great, good friends funeral but was unable to speak the words I was so overcome with grief, so I'll just say it now,
thank you Ron, I hope I was as good a friend to you as you were to me.
This movie is wonderful funny and tugs at the heartstrings. I have seen it many times and will watch many times more.
Love the music in this scene. It's beautiful
Love this film lovely scene and words
More than memorable. Beautiful, warm, and unforgettable. Nice to have the video short!
such a great Forgotten film. watch it every year ;)
This is one of my favourite films. Definitely makes me proud of my irish heritage.
I just cant watch this without crying. My favourite movie.
Wish I could have a friend like this.
I know exactly what you mean Tim Danby....For sure.
@@frankmurphy8221 🙂
Chokes me up every time I see it.
Luv this movie
This makes me miss Ireland. I want to go back soon
I will always watch this film from time to time. I gconai.
My favourite scene in a splendid film. Tears in my eyes every time I see it. And so tragic the actor died in a car crash soon after...
I have seen this movie multiple times and this scene makes me tear up. every. single. time.
What i wish i could say to me best friend. I failed him but i never stopped loving him
Still among the top five best movies for me. I love them all there. Ian Bannon, David Kelly, James Nesbitt, Fionulla Flanagan , Susan Lynch, such a great cast. The best sad comedic movie there is. Thank you for sharing this.
One of the best films ever
If you enjoyed this movie, then you must check out 'Hear My Song' too. The Irish have such a wonderfully whimsical slant on life!
What a wonderful film!
It doesn’t get any better than this. The movie as well as the eulogy. One of my all-time favorites.
This movie released in '98. Gone are Ian Bannen November 3, 1999 (age 71 years), David Kelly February 12, 2012 (age 82 years), Paddy Ward January 15, 2011, Anne Bancroft June 6, 2005 (age 73 years).
The scene that makes you tear up for a second...then bust up laughing 2 secs later. "He had his faults" lmao
Better than 95% of the big buck movies out there, on a 3 million budget.
Now money goes into effects and movie stars, not the script
@@007DeanBond "Movie stars" most of them are good-looking faces with bare minimum acting skills.
Great writing
To all my friends 🍻
The Irish are amazing people. Long live the people of Ireland.
I sometimes wonder if I’m a sociopath but don’t think that’s the case because when I watch this scene, it makes me weep like a little girl.
Brilliant film

Warmhearting Ireland.... what a nation.... ❤️🇩🇪😢
Susan Lynch, who played Maggie, also appeared in Downton Abbey as the Lady's Maid who stole Family Trinkets.
Nope. She can still smell it. It's still there!
Great movie❤
Ian Bannen was a superb actor who would have made a superb James Bond as successor to his friend Sean Connery.
My best friend and I have agreed to troll each other when either one of us die. When all the mourners gather at the graveside, one of us has to put something really odd on the tombstone leaving everyone bewildered. A KFC chicken wing for example.
Shut up! I'M not crying, YOU'RE crying....
