The worst thing is, these institutes were only shut down in the nineties, it's worrying that it went on for so long. They called the girls "Maggies" because of Mary Magdalene..
Well he is not that bothered is he !! he knows when they find out they will drag the girl by the hair and throw her in a laundry prison, cause according to christians rape is woman's fault !!! this one scene in this movie made me throw up and i ran for the sink, where religious figure makes one of the girl suck his cock !! i am saying no more !!
lol nice one these twisted people love to spend millions of pounds facistizing other people's countries, faiths, having their women stoned, lashed and killed while raping their own daughters, coussins !! wouldnt world be a peacefull place without these pasty face coussin rapers, but since muslims we are brought up not to insult other faiths and respect them at all costs, think we are being too nice !!!
I'm always confused when I see the mother's face as Margeret's being driven away, I can never tell If she seems upset because her daughter is supposedly a harlot, or because she knows Margeret's done nothing wrong, but there's nothing she can do about it, In these times I suppose the former would be more likely but I hope her expression was portraying the latter.
@soaperoonie123 Just so backwards and very ignorant. At the end of this the very last laundry closed up in 1997, all closed down leaving I'm sure some elderly women who did drudgery for work their whole lives and were never educated or shown how to do any proper vocational skill because they were meant to stay as inmates of a alundry forever!
The shere sexism, and cruelty inflicted on these girls is disgusting, just because a girl might kiss a boy, have a one night stand, or even be pretty and attract boys or blokes doesn't make her a slag. And it's sure as hell not a reason to send them to a brutal institution run by despicably sadistic nuns for the rest of their lives.
When my parents married in 1977 they went to Ireland for their honeymoon as both were of Irish heritage and my Nana had a house there. Apparently this stuff STILL went on back then....pretty, unmarried women or women who were raped or who even kissed a boy were sent away.
@Mobee211 They're no better than men who do honor killings against women in their own famailes as it's about the same, for lack of a better word, 'principle'.
1 John 4:7-8 'Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.' This is a good verse, in my opinion, to help realize the truth that, just because someone is a nun, pastor, priest, etc., doesn't mean they know God. God IS love. If someone really knows Him, they would have character in line with His. God acts out of love for us. These nuns/priests did not.
I have read and watched several books and documentaries about the Magdalene Laundries since first watching this film, and I cried through every one, even reading things I was crying. God love all those unknown souls and tortured survivors of the laundries...there should be a museum opened on the Maglanene Laundries with the funds going to the survivors. Break this horrendous cover up. God love them xxx
You're right. The Vatican is just a moneymaking superstition machine that murders, molests, rapes and abuses. They weren't any good as a laundry either.
And tell me, when there's no fockin' priests and fock all nun's left who's gonna do the fockin' abusin' and fockin' bashin' then? And, who for focks sake is gonna do my fockin' laundry? Can't you see that the fockin' pope is just tryin' to do what's fockin' right and you're tryin' to fockin' burn it fockin' down?
Fockin' children are only fockin' supposed to have fockin' sex with fockin priests and fockin' get bashed up by fockin' nuns. That's what the fockin' pope says and that's fockin' good e-fockin'-nough for fockin' me. If they did what they were fockin' told they wouldn't have to get fockin' bashed up and fockin' abused in the fockin' laundries in the first fockin' place. It's so fockin' simple.
Thank you so much for uploading this - i'm performing my GCSE drama on the magdalene laundries and this was a huge help for research - highly appreciated <3 x
My fockin' oath I'm fockin' serious. The little filthy fockin' sluts got fockin' pregnant and that's against the fockin' word of fockin' god. So, fock 'em. What sort of a fockin' slut would get her fockin' boyfriend into so much fockin' trouble? Luckily us fockin' catholics and fockin' nuns saved them all.
It proves that lies survive where truth is pushed under the carpet, and that some parents can be merciless, but the church wherever has a big price on its head to be paid for what it did to those poor women, i beg all to read Psalms 37:10,11 in the Bible.
@FridaLaReina On the other hand though, all religions have corrupt parts to them. It is not necessarily the religion itself that is fucked up, it's the people.
@Tazza17 - that's actually a bullshit statement, before christianity came to éire / ireland, the Irish had a female deity, Danú daughter of Ernmas, who also had three daughters Ériu, Banba and Fódla, Ireland became know as Ériu after the fall of the Tuatha Dé Danann at the hands of the Milesians, so from all the ancient ways and these new rulers Brehon Law was the accepted governing system that existed in ireland up until, st patricks conquest of ireland and the arrival of christianity,
@Tazza17 whatever st patrick is, really is anyones guess. to give you an idea of the change christanity brought with a male deity. under Brehon Law the female was held in such high regard in Irish society that if the male could not bring her to orgasm, she was entitled to have a divorce. when christanity took hold and a thousand years later plus a bit more, in male dominated ireland, a male was entitled to rape his female cousin and the female was sent to a religious workshop to be further raped
@Tazza17 never forget this was the roman decapitation of a once and still to this day amazing race of people, during the roman empire they never made it to éire, such was the fear of this land, 'the land of gods' they used to call it. once they got hold in england it was only a matter of time for this place to fall, also never forget the first english invasion of ireland was ordered by rome because the irish were not being catholic enough for them. so its not the people, its whatever is in rome!
@soar1111 It can't be Rome, or just Rome. Whatever Rome set in motion, it's still up to the Irish people themselves to sort out their own country and run their own country. Revolutions have happened before in other countries and they could have even revolted against the Catholic Church's presence in Ireland or had a separation of the church and state like certain other countries in the West but they decided not to. It can't be all about Rome only.
@jrmetmoi yes but the trick was they converted the Irish to this religion got them worshiping / brainwashed this new way for over a thousand years, then setup all these institutions and started to turn the screws, they fuckin destroyed Ireland in ways you could never imagine, responsible for the first holocaust that happened in western europe too, no not the jewish one, the Irish one, referred to as 'the famine' there was no famine here, go to irishholocaust dot o r g, are you living n ireland?
This tells a lot about a woman's status in a Catholic-run country.
A young woman is assaulted, and she's punished instead of the assaulter.
The look of hatred in that one man's eyes for this poor girl is chilling.
It shows that no one could expect mercy or kindness if they were wronged. Men were always favored, and powerful men favored over all. Absolutely sickening.
The opening of this movie is so haunting. The priest is singing a song and playing the bodhran in a way that's overtly sexual, and that's clearly being admired by everyone. Yet it's the women who get punished for sexuality, or for speaking out about sexual violation when the men express unwanted sexual advances towards them. I think that's what makes the first scene so striking.
@abracadaverous Not only that, but if you look up the lyrics to the song (which is often not played by folk sings because of its lyrics), the themes are quite violent and in some versions there's incest. It's a song about horrible sexual acts. It combines the story of Mary Magdalene (as held by the Church) and the Good Samaritan. It fits the themes of the movie and is a strange foreshadowing. Why anyone would want it played at their wedding is beyond me.
@abracadaverous . The priest isnt doing anything sexual at all what are you on about like I dont see how you can pick that up as being sexual. AT ALLLLLL. Im Irish and do know that a lot a shit went on but there was nothing wong there thats just a fucking class a song son.
