The Crying Game | The Snapper

Dear Moviemainers it is so soon the month of March, not one of my favorite months as it is cold still snowy and it is not winter but it is not spring.   So here goes to the Irish .    

The first is 1992's The Crying Game, a British psychological thriller.   The main character is a man named Fergus, he is a member of the IRA, his meeting with Jody a prisoner, and the relationship that follows.  This film won the Academy Awards for Best Original  Screenplay.  The film was shot in Ireland and London, the budget was 2.3 million and took in 62 million.    

The next film I felt needed to be a lighter one, 1990's The Snapper, an Irish film based on a novel about a family's adventure, filmed in Dublin.   The critics gave this film 97% liked it.  It is the story about a girl that gets pregnant and refuses to name who the father is.   

As Jim's grandmother use to say "Have a pint, sit down, and enjoy the films".
