It's nice that someone mentioned this because I've been wondering about movies. I'd like to know a few that are either in Gaeilge or have decent amounts of it. I thought then that I'd look for whare to obtain them Go raibh maith agat.

Would you be so kind as to post titles and directors?

I see there are tiles, I mean more titles. I remember looking up Yu Ming once upon a time, but could not find a place that carried it.

yeah, go raibh míle maith agat, a Cheolmhar! Chonaic me "Yu Ming is Ainm Dom" sa Baile Átha Cliath anuraidh, ach níor feidir liom cóip a fháil. Now I can finally show my friends, after trying (and failing) to explain it!

there was also a short film shown during Seachtain na Gaeilge last year, a humorous (or depressing?) look at the scrúdú béal. If I recall, it showed the examiner sitting there as student after student came in to stumble haltingly through the bits of Irish they'd laboriously memorized...anyone know what this was called, or where one might find a copy?

The film doesn't seem to work for me, I have RealPlayer & WMP and it still tells me I need a media player

That was a really interesting film. Are some Irish really that ignorant about Irish, or was that an exageration? It was really depressing me at first … but then it had a cool ending. =)

I think the whole thing is a bit of an exaggeration--I can't imagine Chinese immigrants turning their forks and knives upside-down and using them as chopsticks, for that matter--but it *is* funny. I think the humour largely works because it's unfortunately not quite far enough away from reality.

Actually, that "C'mere, did ya know our Paddy spoke Chinese?" scene reminds me of a scene from James Joyce's _Ulysses_: a visiting Englishman in Dublin says something along the lines of "Conas ata tu" or "Maidin mhaith" to an Irish milkwoman, and she assumes he's speaking French. Sort of the same joke, just a hundred years earlier.

Unfortunately yes,
Some Irish people are incredibly ignorant to their own culture. It's quite tradgic really. You can't blame them.. It's usually because of what society around them teachs them to believe and yet once again i point the finger at the education system >:L

A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river

Don't they have parents? It's up to their parents to pass family culture and traditions also.

Go raibh maith agat, a Cheolmhair, for the link to the Yu Ming video. Another good one went up on the site yesterday by the same filmmaker. "Fluent Dysphasia".

A man passes out drunk and wakes up the next morning unable to speak English, only speaks Irish and he's not happy about it. Here's the link --

There is a 2-hour movie in Irish with English translation available on DVD (NTSC and PAL Formats) called ' Aisling ' from Litriocht.com ( Click on "scannain' ).

We saw a film called 'Lipservice' in our class, it's only a short yoke, about the Leaving Cert oral exam, it's fairly decent and funny enough, if anyone can find it.

I've watched Yu Ming twice. I really liked it. You really could feel the disallusionment round about the middle when poor Yu Ming just can't figure out what is going on, what with the fact that noone is speaking their official language. I really liked the ending though.

well, you also have to figure that china would be taking a much sterner stance to ensure that its official language was spoken...stuff that wouldn't fly in ireland
