Just like the dark tones of the whole movie and the rainy weather, the plot is depressing. A cowardly and incompetent alcoholic and face-conscious father, a strong mother who always gave birth to one child after another, and a few who are always hungry. Children who can't eat enough. His father does not have the shoulders a man should have to shoulder the burden of the family, and his living environment has not improved. In particular, I can realize that the children of the poor are so sensible. When you were young, you always envied other children’s new clothes and toys. Your dad also loves you very much, but you only have to look at it, waiting for you to grow up. After making a lot of money, when you change a bad life, you will understand how strong you are. In the end, the protagonist of the film looks at himself when he was a child. I think he must want to give himself a hug at that time, although life has let you taste the bitterness. , But since you grow up, you no longer count on others to improve your life, no longer pin your hopes on your parents, you firmly control your own destiny in your own hands. Finally, all girls should keep their eyes open, and would rather not marry than marry rubbish.

Angela's Ashes quotes

  • Narrator: If I were in America I could say "I love you, dad", the way they do in the films. But in Limerick they'd laugh at you. In Limerick you are only allowed to say you love God, and babies, and horses that win. Anything else is softness in the head.

  • Young Frank: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been a minute since my last confession.
