Joyce spoke softly and he listened. He was poor but he tried to carry himself elegantly. Those words were all in his head. funny filthy mind. There is a tremendous amount of humor in Ulysses and FW. Most importanly, he listened. Loved the sound of words and the sound of voices. He was a singer. His eyes were failing so his ears were of utmost importance. He loved language, history and he loved to play.

All feckned in it's nuttyness.

A brogue is a shoe AND an Irish accent, you vocabulary-challenged midget.

[Tracy Weiman]

Anyone who makes a joke based on 'Murphy' is okay by me.

Excuse me? A brogue? Don't know what country you're from, friend, but here in Ireland, a brogue is a shoe. Now I'm sure Joyce had many brogues but your misuse of the word here shows that you don't know what the f**k you're talking about.

It most certainly is not how Joyce spoke – or wrote.

What an utterly useless piece of shite this film is. It does nothing, it is as dumb as a bag of rocks, and is an utter misrepresentation of the kind of man Joyce was. He was not an aggressive and hysterical flamer and he did not speak with this type of Dublin accent – he had a brogue.
