It was a dark but silly film. About friendship? The danger of wanting to be famous? Relationships based on animals as proxies for affection? Finding your lost father in a broken man? So many things. And it did impact me but I so wanted it to resolve cleaner. Just like life I guess...

You put it succinctly. Thank you for giving me the words to describe it perfectly.

The civil war wasn't north vs south, it was pro-treaty vs anti-treaty. In some cases it was sons against their fathers and siblings against each other

Ah what year was this? I wanted to read up some on which war they were referring to.

1922 - 1923. The film 'the wind that shakes the barley' is based at this time and stars Cillian Murphy

Glad you clarified this for people. Many don't seem to get this, and yet they speak about the topic as if they're completely informed.
All you have to do is Google it to see that it wasn't the case but people are clearly in too much of a rush to show off how deep their "knowledge" of something they're completely uninformed on is. See the same thing with people on reddit talking about the Troubles.

It wasn't about Colm wanting to be famous, it was moreso about him being remembered

It was not silly at all. Actually a good representation of people living isolated from the city back in the days
