48 Angels

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't Bother
I'm with Christine on this one. My wife and I checked this out from Blockbuster based on the pr paragraph on the reverse side, indicating three souls would come to "healing of hearts and minds," which we did not see happen in our opinion. I could not understand half of the dialog. I don't want to give it away for those willing to waste 90 minutes. Rent something else.

- Lost in Translation
I believe there must be a great deal of Irish cultural subtext here. Even as an American of Irish descent, much of this was lost on me.

There were far too many loose ends.

Instead, I recommend "Into the West" and "Millions".

- Explain this
Totally confused by this movie. Explain it to me, what happened at the
end? Did the boy die? it sure left you hanging.
Don't waste your time.

- awesome movie about death
I thought this was an awesome movie! Three different perspectives on death: Seamus' premonition of his own death from a heart condition, James' inability to deal with the murder of his father, and Darry's frantic attempt to run from being hunted down. The interaction is interesting. James is a Protestant and Seamus (the Gaelic equivalent of James)is a Catholic--ingredients for a clash that is always on the verge of erupting but at the same time overcome by a fraternal attraction between the two boys. James' sarcastic responses to Seamus' spiritual observations on life are brutally delightful, but Seamus has no fear of James' sarcasm. Darry seems to be either unconscious or asleep most of the time (the three characters are in a boat for much of the movie), but James and Seamus do everything they can to keep him alive. That seems to be an important element in how the two boys are dealing with death.

I'm sure I will watch it again, but as a rule I don't re-watch a movie until I've allowed it to sink in after some time. Many may find the movie boring and uneventful, but I had no problem with that....most of us live boring and uneventful lives, after all.
