    The background of the story is a little vague, and it takes a lot of brainpower to understand it in depth. But fortunately, the emotions are common. Kenlodge is getting more and more gentle as he gets older. Even in the conflict between various characters, ethnic groups and the church, the tone is warm throughout the whole process. Three and a...

    A moving lesson in Irish history, no matter how hard it is, it will never give up on art, dance, love and prudence with those in power; Jimmy's ballroom challenges the beliefs and hegemony that occupy others, and encourages everyone to break the shackles themselves. Even a chronological story, it almost embraces its favorite topic. But also because of the limitations of the real background, the only thing that can be done is only...

    Jimmy's Hall is a funny and thought-provoking movie. Issues of cowardice, political hypocrisy and subservience are as relevant today as they were in 1933. Based on a fact-based play by his longtime collaborator Paul Laverty, Lodge presents a theme that runs through his work: the impact of politics on the individual. We're used to seeing rebellions where people turn violent in protest, but this movie is very gentle and that's what Rocky seems to have taught us all along. Instead of turning...

    The improved version of "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves" turns the revolution's persecution of the people on both sides into a simple binary opposition, replacing the heavy suffering with a bland and cheerful dance music. Ken Loach is old after all, knowing that the collective movement is impossible, he just wants to continue the idea of...

Jimmy's Hall quotes

  • O'Keefe: "Is it Christ or Gralton?" I think those were the words of several parish priests...

    Father Seamus: I suspect if Christ was here today, there'd be several members of this parish who would have Him crucified again. That's what I suspect!

  • Oonagh: The IRA are even on the fence. They don't want to upset the church.
