アンジェラの灰

今回の映画は全体的にどんより灰色ベースで描かれています。基本的に曇りか雨。最後だけ晴れていましたがこれは暗示していますね。しかしながら最後まで陰鬱なペーソスの中、話は進んでいきます。しかし映画のいたるところにユーモアがある。ユーモアの見せ方が天才的。貧困の暗闇の中でもいたるところに散りばめられたユーモアの光がいっそう輝いていることに人間の力強さを感じます。２時間３０分という映画にしては少々長めでしたが、今回は久しぶりに５つ星の内容だったと思います。

以下が概要です。
アイルランド人駐在員フランク・マッコートのベストセラー自伝を基にした『Angela's Ashes』は、戦前のリムリックのスラム街に蔓延していた貧困から逃れようと、あらゆる困難に立ち向かう若きフランキーとその家族の体験を描いている。映画はブルックリンにいる一家から始まるが、フランキーの兄弟の一人が亡くなり、彼らは故郷に戻る。フランキーの北アイルランドの父親に対する偏見から、彼はIRAのために戦ったにもかかわらず、共和国での職探しは困難であり、金を見つけても酒に使ってしまう。

英語においては本格的な庶民のアイリッシュだらけなので、難しい部類に入ると思いますが、前回のアウトランダーでのスコティッシュに比べると生ぬるく感じられます。以下感心したフレーズをデータベースに入れましたのでここでもご紹介します。
