My view about Jimmy's Hall
Hello again :3
Today I am going to talk about the movie "Jimmy's Hall"...
If I am honest it is very unusual to me to I like a movie, but I really think I enjoy this one.
I think I like this film because it shows the life of the people after the civil war, and it makes us understand that the fight never it is over until we get dignity. I believe this message is very important to transmit to people or the opressed ones that today are afraid to begin a conflict against "the powerful ones" because of the consequences, but "we have nothing to lose but our chains".
Just like in my others blogs, I don't like the way it shows women in the story... Always like a romantic interest (in this case the ex that the main character still loves), mothers (or any female maternalist character), or people who don't have opinion or they are not really involve in the "first conflict" because the men always are the heroes or the strong people who fight against the "evil" or "the bad guys", I mean, women always will be the support of great mans. Another think I didn't like because it was TOTALLY unnecessary was the romance between Jimmy and Oonagh, even if was part of the real story ¿Who cares? xddd, I believe it was included just to make more "profitable" the film.
I don't know what character was my favorite for everything I've said before, but for the way the movie wants to show us the characters I don't have another option to choose Jimmy, for being brave, for never give up even when the rich ones and the church was against him and his people, and for fight for what he believe.
My favorite scene is when Jimmy is giving the speech to the people and he talk about how Ireland wasn't one country, because it still being injustice. Maybe the British people wasn't invading Ireland, but the workers were living without dignity.
I love that message, because as long as there exist richs will be inequality.
That is all, bye-bye!

ResponderEliminarYes, it's true that the movie doesn't showed to women in story, again. It seems that when the movies shows war conflicts, all the womens are invisible :(
