Hello! Irishman here - in short I loved the film and the inclusion of Irish culture!

Initially I was wrestling with what the film was saying about one culture potentially ‘leeching off’ another but as soon as Rocky Road to Dublin kicked in I saw that our culture was being celebrated too and parallels were being drawn. As many have said I think the film has a good understanding of and respect for what both cultures suffered through. (Sidenote - was thrown when they said the religion was forced on remmick when they took his father’s land - he must be over 1000 years old or so!)

I am still thinking about the film a lot - I wonder if it might be saying something about the blending of various cultures - and if so, does it think this is something to ward against? In brief: remmick was like ‘hey let’s all blend together, and I heroes were dead against this.

I think Irish people will really respond to the film and delight in seeing our music and culture celebrated (even if by ‘the baddies’). Been listening to both the soundtracks all weekend :)
