Blog 4: Jimmy´s Hall Review
Hi all! I hope all is well and that you enjoyed our film!
The film isn't my favorite, but it's a great film. The director, Ken Loach, is one my my favorite directors because he always makes movies about different political and social conflicts. I like how the film is almost like a direct continuation of The Wind that Shakes the Barley even though they were not made with that intention. It is a great perspective of the Irish post civil war era.
I liked that the actors all have Irish accents, because it is different from the typical English that students hear in class. About Jimmy Gralton, he was a real person and the film is based on true events.
My favorite character was obviously Jimmy hehehe. I think he is a great protagonist and he really cares about people and changing the world. He's my hero!
One thing I didn't like about the film was that sometimes it was slow, but in overall I think it is a great film.
My favorite scene is when they go to the cottage and help the family get their home back. I especially admire the speech that Jimmy made because it seemed to really inspire all the people that were there. I also agreed with the speech because I think it was very unjust what the landlord did to the family.
I need to mentioned that I loved when Jimmy´s mother pretended to lose the key so she could help Jimmy escape, it was brilliant.
Now it's your turn!

ResponderBorrarI don't know if I agree with you about if the film was slow, because for me it was very intense for the emotions it show, but it is true that somethings were unnecessary.

ResponderBorrarI fall asleep in some part of the movie. But i think the same that Wilson is saying. The spirit of the movie, for me, was showing you that we can fight those fascist pigs
ResponderBorrarI liked the movie a lot! Thank you for showing us this kind of contents, because I think that learn english and history all together is very beneficial to us ! At least for me haha
ResponderBorrarThank you so much for showing us this author, Benji! I also really liked the scene when the mother pretends to lose the key haha. I didn't thought the film was slow doe, actually i couldn't get my eye away of the screen, since i had a really fun time watching it!
ResponderBorrarI like actittude Jimmy's mother when she pretended lose the key, she is very intelligent ! I want to watch other movie by Kevin Loach :) Thank you for the film !
ResponderBorrarI thougth this movie like a continuation of the other Ken Loach's movie. That is good beacause you have two differents times and see the changes in Ireland.
ResponderBorrarI'm sorry, I totally forgot to watch the movie, but I promise I will do it one day! and I will take your opinion about it.
ResponderBorrarI' like so much this movie, because had to much music and irish dance, and I like this.
ResponderBorrarIt's an interesting story. Everything we do is political, and in this case dancing is a powerful way of protesting against the system!
