[corkguy09]

THEY SHOULD ANAL GANG RAPED JOSIE STUPID SAD CUNT

[davedirk]

This movie has greatness!! Funny as shit, with some sadness mixed in. A great Indie movie. If you find it, make sure you turn on the English subtitles. Great Irish Culture in this small town in Ireland. This is for hose-heads life me who appreciate the crazy and funny characters in movies. Go see it. peace out

[dennynua]

it does some up Ireland if you don't have the lingo or talk alot bullshit bout man u or somtin cudn't give 2 shits bout it or are kinda of quiet which i am they look at ye like ye have two heads then theres the drinkin all the fuckin time at 24 im fuckin sick of it can nearly predict every night thats why i want to see the world or il end up like poor josie

[QuCongee]

It just breaks me old heart to see them lads shything me old boy Josie! Where I come from in Bealadangan we show respect to a lad like that! So it is!

[fukhedd]

While it is exaggerated for the movie this scene is basically a true representation of the kind of thing that goes on every day in small town Ireland. What makes it particularly chilling, not to mention accurate, is that while the men outwardly project a harmless "just having a laugh" veneer of civility just under the surface is an intense viciousness and will to do serious harm-to utterly destroy another person from the inside out. An extreme form of passive aggression that is uniquely Irish.

[omgwthzomglawl]

Mind if I take your answer down? You pretty much summed up the entire movie for me.

[HumanDrillBit]

A+ post. Really spot on with your analysis.

[glynchandeliers]

@fukhedd Fuck at ya!

[kazsiku]

@fukhedd

Cant help but agree with this.

Social constraints are all well and good, but there exists a capacity, in everyone, (not just Ireland I think) to adopt a mentality of superiority on any level and following this an enormous capacity to insult maliciously and maim indelibly another persons psyche.

If it's easier, all the better.

Tragic, but then Garage wouldn't be quite as good if this pathos was lessened.

Kudos to Pat Short.

[graham640]

@fukhedd i agree a true depiction of irish small town life

[MechanicalChrist1]

@fukhedd Wow. that is deep! great comment

[AislingOwens]

Poor Josie, i felt so sorry for him in that movie and that scene.

[isaaccrutchley]

yes man!

[123djblive]

It would have been better if somebody gave him some pussy...

[iqww]

i didnt smile or laugh for days after watching this movie.

really is beautiful though.

tho i wudnt say this attitude and cruelty is specific to ireland at all as people are saying... just anywhere where conformity and convention is valued above all else.

and if people want to generalise nations then id say the irish were some of the friendliest people in the world, that coming from an english person, with irish heritage.

i go there often and meet wonderful new people every time.

[KidATL9]

fuck this movie really rips me open. josie is cool as shit, how could anyone give him grief?

[conrad4ever]

This film was very tragic. Josie was clearly a bit slow and was not sure about how to make friends and socialise. These guys really didnt help.

[fignon]

the guys were right, josie was being used

[kachekieran]

i was just workin on 1 of his movies in bray!

[steveflynn007]

The ginger fella to the far right played Father Sirell McDuff in Father Ted. Dick Byrnes righthand man

[00Indy]

simon pegg?

[00Indy]

This is quite well done isn't it? I love Pat Shortt, he's got an amazing way of tapping in to the pathos and the noble aspects of a person.

[roryphelan]

He's also well able to play absolute bastards. See the 'D'unbelievables - a right funny man darcy' video on the right there. Its funny, but he's pretty terrifying in it.

[Stamps9311]

tis cruel all right boy. but let me tell ya, the humble josie can hold his head up in front of the throne when his time comes.

[Tipperaryprovo88]

Right ye are. People like dat shouldn't be picked on. Good man he is!

[vobyrne]

The cruelty of small town Ireland is well illustrated in this scene.

[digbycc]

I'm not sure its cruelty thats the problem; think its more the case that everyone else has their own problems going on, and noone really has the time to engage with Josie, who takes a lot of effort.

I'm in small-town Ireland myself, and yes it can seem insular and a bit cruel sometimes, but it seems to me that conformity is valued most, and those who don't fit in aren't trusted.  God help you where I live if you don't go to mass or watch GAA!

[irishdubfoundation]

its not cruel in ireland to carry on like that. everyone is like that in ireland. we all take the piss out of each other and you are expected to take it with a pinch of salt and throw it back. its just banter where we're from. americans have no concept of this. i have known many and they are all so serious and stiff when it comes to slagging. its hard for you to understand if your not from ireland

[metal1313]

thats bullshit. the way those two act when josie is there is cruel and wrong. making a mans life a misery for their own entertainment. of course we all know what happens to josie at the end of the movie.

[MikeOtterfox]

I have to agree with metal1313 that's complete and utter bullshit. I'm from a small irish villiage and this is not the norm but it does happen as it does all over the world. And every time it does happen is by ignorant, cruel fucking bastards. The above isn't taking the piss, it's vicious, and i know we're known for our dark humour and self deprecation but is somthing else altogether. The movie anyway is a classic, extremely depressing but must see

[MrMike2299]

@irishdubfoundation

not slagging mate or banter, these guys just been dickheads to the poor guy, mabey your 1 of these types of dickheads.
