    What a powerful song to choose at this moment in the film, as you see the camera scan the women at the wedding, all potential victims of the judgement and danger of rape and incest, and then the camera stops on the girl and her soon to be assailant cousin. The hell is about to be unleashed. This song of incest, infanticide, and shaming is the perfect choice and functions as a indictment of the powers that were.

      I didn't realize when I watched the film years ago that the song's lyrics foretold the context of the film. I'm glad this video cuts out right when it did. Going from this powerful and moving performance to the next scene was very emotional. I wanted to see the performance again but not what came after.

      Yeeeessss! The director did a fabulous job, weaving the growing intensity of the music with the rising fear of rape...
      I don't like rape. I'm just saying it was an incredible scene. The fact that her cousin took advantage; of her of course, but also knowing the music would be so thundering and loud his crime would easily be committed. And the twist of fate, she ends up being sent away- committed. A tainted woman.
      Tragic story. Terrible history. Fabulous movie. 5 stars.

    • @charlamiller3900
      @charlamiller3900 Год назад

      @wolftal1178 EXACTLY! It was, and is such an awful twist to an already terrible experience. Same for many women, all over the world and all through history. . Report the rape, but the victim is interrogated. Sometimes people don't believe victim was truly a victim because "she was asking for it by the way she was dressed" etc. Awful.
      Ever heard of the program "I Survived"? People tell their harrowing stories of all kinds of debauchery, attacks, etc. One woman was married to an awful man. She was terrified to leave cuz he'd "kill her if she ever tried to". She decided to get evidence, for court someday, or to prove it was him who murdered her, if. Anyway, she ended up having a voice recording of him forcing her to s×#k his, um, you know wut. He was an a-hole the while time. Making her gag, and struggle to breath. When he tired of brutalized her that way, he raped her. She tried to fight him off. She pleaded, she cried etc. Exhausted, eventually she became a quiet, limp victim. There was a horrific nightmare of a last night being his punching bag, but she did get away. Years later in court, the jury did not find him guilty of the charge of rape, because, (drum roll, please) "she didn't try to fight him off long enough". Her exhaustion and resulting silence during the rape meant it was not actually rape, not to the jury. Still makes me sick to my stomach. When she was recounting this, and she spoke these words, her face and mouth contorted with her still raw frustration and anger. Such an F'd up point of view. That jury should have had to have an eye opening educational crash course; all about coercion, bullying, and how survivors often survive because they quickly assessed the situation- the twisted thinking of their rapist, and they accommodated the rapist, in order to live. There are several "I survived" stories told by women who lived through an ordeal that involved a second rape victim who did not survive. The women who survived had adapted their behavior, realized their survival depended on being cooperative. They quickly learned how they had to behave, but they also witnessed the rape and murder of another victim who did not. One such rape victim had to play along like the man was a good lover. It was not an easy sort of lie for her to go long with, but the alternative behavior, to not play along, quickly ended the life of the second victim. When he wanted to rape her roommate she gently woke the woman and stated, "this nice man is going to rape you for a while now". The roommate freaked out- of course. She also suffered a very violent rape and was brutally murdered.
      So, anyway, my point was yeeeaaashh that sh#@ is F'd up, how the young girl in the Magdaline sisters movie was punished because her friend told her mom, who told the raped girls' parents that her cousin (?) had raped her!! Why was she was blamed? Well, obviously, she was overly sexual. She had "asked" for it. It's a sick attitude and belief held by sick men, played out in all sorts of sick situations, all over the world.
      I've already gotten started, but don't get me started on this topic. I could write a masters thesis on women being persecuted and punished after she was rapes.
      Yeah, it was awful that the young girl was punished for being the victim of rape. The movie is based on a true story. I believe there is a RUclips video of an interview of a woman who had been a young girl who had been sent away like the girls in the movie were. There were many reasons a young girl was sent away, not only girls raped by a cousin.
      Great movie, dark subject. Wonderful tune that plays throughout the openning scene of the movie.

    Part of this song is missing. When she is asking the angel who fathered her children, he tells her.. her brother, uncle and father. That was the reason she killed her children and possibly herself. This is Irish catholic and it's about arriving in purgatory. That is what these convents were partially about. They believed it was the church's job to punish and help cleanse them. Of course that is not true.

After listening to it a few times, I realized it was a story about being in purgatory in the eyes of Irish catholic. 3/4 of me is Irish and I was raised with Irish Catholic teachings.

    People talk about a movie and a film. What are they referring to with this? Quite enjoyed this song!

      @@JanTetteroo Thank YOU so much. I have been invited to be the pen pal of a retired man who played Bodhran. I think not only would I enjoy this, I believe he would as well.

    Love this scene so much. I've read a few different versions of the lyrics and here's my question: considering the era in which it was written, is the song meant to condemn the girl for "letting it happen" as blaming the woman was the norm for so long? Or is it actually addressing the circumstances as crimes committed against her?

    • @haleypolk8827
      @haleypolk8827 3 года назад

      I believe it blames her. There was a reason this song was chosen for this film given the horrors to come and the strong theme of punishing women.

    It's a bodhrán, an irish frame drum, traditionally made from goatskin.

      +Sean Mackin Of course you are right :) - but did you read Derick Shamblins message before replying to me? My message was for him, because I wanted to correct his information! He wrote (4 years ago):
      "The singer is Pol McAdam. The guy playing the bodhrán next to him is Sean Mackin."

    sounds a little like Paddy's Lamentation - if you like this song, I suggest this folk song from the Civil War of how the Irish ran from the Potato famine right into Lincoln's Union Civil War ....the Irish....the Irish

    The movie The Magdalene Sisters really upset me after a bit - those were our girls, our daughters, our sisters, violated, scared, pregnant, accused of loose morals. I think we all need to watch this even in 2023, to keep our girls safe from harm at the hands of those who swear to protect them.

    Seemed like an odd song to sing at a wedding. Can anyone explain?

    • @MlleBrandt
      @MlleBrandt 9 лет назад +12

      Lucie Winborne in the context of a wedding it's a bit weird, but I think as a preface to the themes in the movie (salvation, lost/murdered children, penance, etc) it makes sense. Maybe the people who made the film chose it because it was suitably dark and foreshadow-y.

      Lucie Winborne Well, in some traditional Irish weddings, a morality song would be sung, as is often the case with just about any Irish Catholic life event.
      And obviously, it fits pretty well with the themes of the film
