I started reading this piece and realized, shit. Haven't seen the movie. Left computer and watched it. So, thank you for that, Alice. It just swaddled me in love for Martin MccDonagh's love of the conundrum (Spoiler Alert: Old English Major walking!) and for weepy moments. I love movies that make me cry and deepens insight and I loved Jenny and the Banshees who might no longer wail over death on accounta it's coming for the lot of us and we should know it already.
Ha Nancy good point. A pun perhaps not up to the intelligence of the rest of it? I didn't think of it, I am immune to puns! But I accept this interpretation!
I had a friend tell me she thought the movie dull. Thank you for this, I needed it to not just bleed out these thoughts on the insanity of our times, but to understand all we are doing is watching our brokenness with a donkeys eye. And tonight I will watch the film and dive into that moment when I became fully human

I probably should have taken more English classes.
Yes, we're all waiting. Like Godot.
Who among us has not wanted, now and then, to give an annoying friend the finger? (So glad you loved the movie)

I am curious what you'll think. It's not for everyone but I can't see it as dull.
I love this movie so much; thank you for writing about it. That line about needing the donkey when he's sad broke my heart.
me too. story of my life!
