Kneecap | Movie Review

[@niallchapman123]

Just fyi, the book scene in the jail interrogation, he was worried because there was a sheet of acid in it

[@jgog59]

It’s funny as a friend was with me and I had to explain to him those were acid tabs. I started laughing oh Lord, when I was a kid I did way too many drugs.

[@donach9]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm from West Belfast tho been living in England a long time, but I'm interested in seeing how people from different backgrounds react to it. It's also interesting how hiphop can be an art form for people beyond black Americans, but that also makes me interested in the reaction of black Americans to them and their film

I’m from Northern Ireland and I absolutely loved the film.

Watched it, loved it's energy and really enjoyed it. The songs are really catchy too. Great to hear the Irish language in use. It's brilliant to hear people who aren't familiar with the history enjoy it too, I can imagine certain scenes where Irish people would laugh might be confusing to some, such as what Mo Chara says when he's with the British ladies. I wish them every success. Go hiontach!!

The band actually won a court case recently against the Brits for discrimination! If you enjoyed the movie you'll love this footage. 😂😂

Great movie, thoroughly enjoyed it. Going to see them live later this year, and with Fontaines DC in London next summer.

[@jamesharvey8835]

Khaleel, it's great that you're speaking on this. If you want to catch up on some N. Irish history, the conflict started with the events of Bloody Sunday in 1969. British troops and Protestant police fired on peaceful Catholic protesters, killing 13, and this kicked off a conflict called 'The Troubles". Several thousand people lost their lives before the signing of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 ended nearly all the violence. It was pushed hard by Bill Clinton which made the final resolution possible. Now the Catholic-rooted community has achieved a rough equality after decades of political effort.

[@Yorksbloke]

Get your facts right. “Bloody Sunday” occurred in 1972. Many civilians and soldiers had been killed in the three years before that.

This is one of my fave movies I’ve seen! I thought it was very entertaining& powerful - & i loved that it was done like a British action comedy of the 90”s-reminded me of the style of Snatch, locks stocks & smoking barrels, etc. which I think was intentional & clever!But very well done and I really love their music:)

[@KhaleelWard]

@@the_baronass omg I didn't even think of Snatch. I love that movie

[@donach9]

Trainspotting is the one that I'd compare it to

[@kelly36oldskool]

And Human traffic 😎👍

[@donach9]

@@kelly36oldskool yeah, that too. One of the things I've been saying to people is, you know how films like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas used acting, special effects and cinematography to convey the effects of acid, and ones like Human Traffic did it for ecstacy and Trainspotting did for a load of drugs; have you ever seen it done for ketamine?

[@ReginaOC]

Love seeing none Irish peoples reactions to this film 😂

[@paulsmith8923]

Jesus big lad, north of Ireland, not northern ireland

[@blaze14ZX]

I saw it in theaters it was good. I was laughing throughout the movie, kinda feel like Michael Fassbender was waisted in this role but he was entertaining. Glad I know this band exists and I hope it highlights why protecting indigenous languages is important.

[@MurtODwyer]

*The North of Ireland*

[@helenokeeffe1823]

Can't expect non-Europeans to differentiate on this, sure he meant no harm, so rather than just correcting it is better to give a full explanation of why "Northern Ireland" as a term is redolent of colonialism, right? My explanation as I understand it is that we say "North of Ireland" because it's the North-Eastern bit of our island that was partitioned in the Treaty of December 1921 and the continuing occupation by the British state is controversial. Do correct me if this doesn't fully capture it. Dear everyone, if you want to empathise with Irish people, please say "North of Ireland" in future.

[@MrBeatenpath]

really fun film

[@delgadogarces]

gailic is the language. Love the fact they are promoting their native language. It is a protest against the English Colonizers.

[@fodhlak5249]

Irish speaker here. We call it Irish mostly- Gaelic describes culture but also the subset of languages to which Irish belongs, alongside Scots Gaelic and Manx

[@Cm1st]

Gaelic is not the language. In Ireland we call it Irish. Gaelic is a word used to describe aspects of our culture.

[@scampeezo]

Gaeilge is the Irish language, Gaelic is the culture of Celtic peoples (Scots, Welsh, Breton, Manx, etc.) I don't know WTF "gailic" is fella.

[@delgadogarces]

@@KhaleelWard do you know the Brits colonised Ireland the first British colony enslaved by the British for 800 years

[@hhhieronymusbotch]

Here's an easy way to explain this film... Propaganda for war criminals. These guys' friends murdered a LOT of civilians over here. And now they sing nice wee songs about those friends.
