Criminal really that Andrew Strong didn’t become a huge star in the music industry after this film. Such a powerful voice, only 17 years old here too, looks about 40 🤣

[@Sullywoo]

He still looks the same these days

[@LargieBoy]

Haha yeah I bet! I wonder if him and The Commitments are still performing?

[@TheConorsmithusa]

Less hair though ​@Sullywoo

[@RileyrobertXx12]

His father was a great singer also

[@LargieBoy]

Oh really?? What’s his name? I’ll check him out?

[@dmitrystetsenko7688]

Andrew's version is surely one of the ever best! Clip itself is cute as well.

[@j.1294]

Andrew Strong is a great singer and has always been underrated I think.

[@Paul-jf7wp]

Who underrated him?

[@j.1294]

@@Paul-jf7wp What I tried to say is that he didn't became as famous as he would have deserved.

[@CairnsLobster]

@@j.1294 if he sung like that at 17! I wonder what happened to him.

A bunch of outlaws that can't bear each others decide to kick out the jam. And there it comes. I was in tears in the theater listening to it and watching them making band when they would have all the reasons to not do. Best moment in cinema ever.

[@kevinmcgill3643]

one of the greatest musicals ever

[@armynurseboy]

What's crazy is that Andrew was like 16 when they filmed this movie.

[@BuntM4gnet]

Fucking Crazy. He looks like 30's.

[@LargieBoy]

I believe both are correct. According to sources, he got the call to be in the film aged 16 and never sat his final school exams. Filming went on until he was 18 and the film became a huge hit.

[@melg1329]

I cannot believe that 😮

[@Spicyramenmama]

For all the movies they show over and over again I hardly ever see this movie on TV or 29th Street. 2 amazing movies from my early teens that I friggin loved.

[@cornbreadthedog]

Saw this movie 4 times in the theatres when it originally came out. I own the DVD of this movie as well to this day, and I always cry and love this part of the movie the best. In the film itself, The Commitments could've been mega-huge as a band but they horribly and poetically super self-destruct because of their conflicting personalities and jealousies. This scene really enforces how tragic and bitter-sweet their fall from musical greatness is. ...LOVE IT!...LOVE IT!

[@stevendimmock4791]

An amazing film, and one of the many high spots in it. If only Wilson had turned up and They'd made it to the big time.

[@cornbreadthedog]

Whenever I feel really bad about getting lost and not arriving on time, because I promised someone that I would be on time, I always think of this very scene from the Commitments and then think this: "Hey, if the legendary soul singer Wilson Pickett, in a black limo, could get totally lost and show up hours later to a club, me being late by just 15 to 20 minutes isn't going to stop the earth from spinning."...LOL..LOL..

now ANDREW STRONG whow i felt every sicere word that spilled from his lips as he gave our hearts hope through his heartfelt emotions after believing women were less worth than he, but when he done this it was through his respect for the 3 angels that backed him, it was a tribute of his respect to them each and everyone of them, thats what i seen and felt and understood every ounce of love and respect they had for each other.

Dit evrybody read THIS book? "Andrew Strong (born 14 November 1973) is an Irish singer and the son of Irish musician and singing coach Robert (Rob) Strong. He grew up in Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, (where his father lived while performing with showbands), and Blessington, Co. Wicklow. He starred as Deco Cuffe in the 1991 cult film The Commitments based on the book by Roddy Doyle, despite being only 16 at the time. In 1992, he was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance in The Commitments, and with the cast, received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Strong

Rob Strong was a Derry man. Raised from Springtown Camp, the old WW2 US army huts. The book by Willie Deery on those raised in the camp is an amazing read.

I don't think you're getting the point of the film. Despite everything that happened they all grew and evolved. Became far better musicians. Began to believe and see themselves as real professional musicians/singers. It is a wonderful story with a bittersweet ending. They were never going to get along because all of their problems were there from the outset, just bubbling below the surface.

Andrew Strong was 16 and on his school summer holidays in 1990 when he got a call about singing in The Commitments. He never went back to school again. With the film becoming a huge hit, the now 48-year-old, who grew up in Omagh but later moved to Kildare, did not get to sit his final exams.

Great music, and great acting, but the ending ruined the movie for me.

[@cvn6555]

I don't think it was ever supposed to end with them staying together and finding success as a group. The entire time you see how everybody is changing. They are not the same people they were when Jimmy started the whole thing and they have big effects on each other. They grow as people and performers. The fracture lines were there from the beginning and had to become giant fissures eventually. It was far more realistic when they all split apart versus some contrived Hollywood ending. Did I want them to have that ending? Yes, of course. We all did.
