Ned Devine, funeral oration

[@stephenwalsh5636]

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

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!

[@dubblwide]

The beauty of this scene stuns me.

[@TheThetrimby1973]

May I add, the tears always flow in this scene.

[@a1anw]

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

[@thulsadames6573]

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

[@krakesgarrick5203]

One of the most beautiful scenes in film history.

[@TheThetrimby1973]

One of the most underrated movies ever made.

[@pa369]

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!

[@KennyVee]

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.

[@pa369]

@@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!

[@benitolonard4441]

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.

[@dontBADGERme]

One of the best 90 second segments in any movie!!

[@zillydino]

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!👼

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.

[@craigspence3393]

Love this film lovely scene and words

[@taylorallgood5078]

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.

[@Fatcatmurph]

Love the music in this scene. It's beautiful

[@TomKaren94]

1:50 - one of the great moments in any film.

[@hammersteve8]

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.

[@andreaso8886]

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 makes it even more heartbreaking when you realise Ian Bannen died 1 year later after the film was released in a car accident.

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.
