The Dead Part 2
Loading...
Uploaded by manicmommy7 on May 29, 2009
John Huston's last film is a labor of love at several levels: an adaptation of perhaps one of the greatest pieces of English-language literature by one of Huston's favorite authors, James Joyce; a love letter to the land of his ancestors and the country where his children grew up; and the chance to work with his screenwriter son Tony and his actress daughter Anjelica. The film is delicate and unhurried, detailing a Christmas dinner at the house of two spinster musician sisters and their niece in turn-of-the-century Ireland, attended by friends and family. Among the visiting attendees are the sisters' nephew Gabriel Conroy and his wife Gretta. The evening's reminiscences bring up melancholy memories for Gretta concerning her first, long-lost love when she was a girl in rural Galway. Her recounting of this tragic love to Gabriel brings him to an epiphany: he learns the difference between mere existence and living. The all-Irish cast and careful period detail give the piece richness and gravity, and Donal McCann and Anjelica Huston are unforgettable as the Conroys

LionsGate won't let me watch the other parts of this film on YouTube... damn. I guess it's only a matter of time before they find this part and block it as well.

The women laugh at Mr. Browne's joke at 3:28 but in Joyce's story they are mortified at his low humor (another reinforcement of the theme of the failure to communicate). Still, great film. Anjelica Huston in particular is wonderful.

This is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen; the first time I saw it I was so overcome I stood weeping on a street corner for twenty minutes while a friend stood by helplessly.

probably one of the greatest short stories ever written. The ending is stunning
