A_n_n_a â™” Hello! Welcome to OIC~! I've heard of the Secret of Roan Inish! Isn't that the film about the girl, and the black seal in the basket? I was going to watch that one!
And I 100% understand what you mean about the filmmakers. Far and Away was an american film, but they advertised it as an "Irish Film." Sure, yes, it 'may' have been filmed in Ireland (though I doubt it) and has so much Irish history in there, but that doesn't make it 100% Irish. I really wish they wouldn't fool us. What will happen when these movies get sold in Ireland? Who is to say, but when I go out on the hunt for a true Irish movie, I don't want to get some american film posing as pure Irish soil. >.<
Well, you aren't going to get a True Irish film, because even Waking Ned Devine was made with Hollywood Dollars. When I talk to my uncle who lives in Ireland about the film industry, his statement is 'There is none.' Most of the money behind Irish cinema comes from America and England.
Then again, who cares? You gotta movie, get the money from where ever you can, really.
I personally don't care what the country of origin for the movie is. If it's supposed to take place in Depression Era Chicago, it should capture that. If it's Ireland, it should do that too. It shouldn't be we made it Chicago or we made it Ireland. It should come off as 'This is the place, this is the time, ect' regardless.
Yeah, Secret of Roan Inish is about Selkies. It's really good. But then again, I'm a shameless John Sayles fanboy.
