The Secret of Roan Inish Part 9

The magic of folklore forms the basis of this Irish tale by writer-director John Sayles. Adapted from the book Secret of the Ron Mor Skerry, the 1940s story is told from the point-of-view of Fiona (Jeni Courtney), a young girl sent to live with her grandparents in an Irish fishing town. Her grandfather weaves grand stories about the family's evacuation from their home on the tiny island of Roan Inish and about his great-great grandfather, who once cheated death at the hands of the unforgiving sea. As she meets other villagers, Fiona hears even more personal stories about an uncle who married a beautiful, part-human/ part-seal and about how the sea stole her baby brother during the departure from Roan Inish. Later, Fiona believes that she has found Jamie romping in the grass on Roan Inish, and she must convince the family of her vision.

This is one of the few movies I will sit and watch from beginning to end, without skipping sections. I replay this part of the movie a lot, though, because I love the song.

They both fixed all of the cottages on the island. Wow!  I definitely call that hard-work and effort.

Love this movie! But I have to admit, I don't get why the seals or selkies would want people to repopulate the island...
