This movie had me from the beginning, the opening scene with Jack and Annie, the lottery and the apple tart, the opening credits song by the Waterboys. The locale is beautiful, as it is usually with films set in Ireland and Scotland. The movie, as a whole, evokes the forgotten quiet corners of the world, the simple and beautiful lives of those who live there, the deep lifelong friendships formed, the memories of shared lives, literally from birth to death. The speech that Jackie gives at Ned's funeral is very touching. There is also a lot of wisdom in many of the lines spoken by the characters. In the funeral, at the end, Jackie wonders how it would be like to visit one's own funeral and hear what others had to say about oneself. If you appreciate life's simple joys, watch this movie and it will be an enriching experience.
