Everlasting Piece, An (2000)

a poignant depiction
The cover of this movie is misleading, as it shows a globe covered with a hair piece. The story is a bit more local than this. It is set right in the middle of a volatile northern Ireland. But the hair piece is fairly indicative of the movie's geist. The characters and the story are original and memorable. Some of the plot twists and dialogue are downright hilarious. But what is most striking is depiction of northern ireland and it's volatile situation. There are many things in here that we americans, with our freedoms, would find impossible to live with. The movie itself is not violent, though there is a tension throughout the movie that is undeniable. It is a testament to Mr. Levinson that he manages to smoothly allow comedy to co-exist with such a backdrop as this. It's also a testament to the character and the will of the Irish people.

An Everlasting Piece
I enjoyed it but it got a bit outlandish at the end.

Brilliant Piece

Hillarious send up of the Forign Establishment in N Ireland. Anyone who can't laugh at this deserves to scalped!
