    • Trivia
      The first paragraph of Elizabeth O'Connor's novel 'The Irishman' reads: "The boy walked alone, following the dusty path from the river, his lips drawn into a silent whistle, his bare feet scuffing at the loose soil, sending it in soft brown billows in front of him. He passed the joss-house and looked sideways, barely turning his head. Sometimes, if no one was about, he and his mates would slide stealthily in the door to look at the strange, doll-like gods that sat with fat complacence upon the broad altar. To stretch tentative fingers towards the rich gold leaf. To watch the changing colors in the facets of the long glass beads that swayed and glinted with every breath of air. But today Michael was aware of eyes that watched him intently, of a smooth oriental face - unsmiling. He hurried on, his whistle suddenly shrill, his head flung defiantly high."

    Great film đŸ‘đŸŒ
    Found this just scrolling through Netflix and thought well that looks like a load of rubbish. So I stuck it on for a laugh 😆! Next minute I'm half way through the film loving every minute of it. What a great film, certainly one I would watch again in a few years. Really enjoyed that, they say sometimes good comes from bad, if you get my meaning. Hence 10/10 Thank you 🙏
