#derry girls spoilers
new favourite subtitle
in light of that derry girls finale, here’s my favourite bit of writing about the ni peace process which is a totally normal thing to have:
(from The Irish Border: History, Politics, Culture, ed. Malcolm Anderson and Eberhard Bort)
god. it’s just. it’s dreams by the cranberries. it’s the montage of them all voting yes. it’s orla’s little smiley face in the box. it’s the live footage of the troubles. it’s erin’s speech. it’s the way that the last shot is of grandpa joe and anna jumping together out of the voting hall. it’s the sheer symbolism of youth and age being joyful and hopeful together. god.
the good friday agreement paralleled with the girls growing up and moving on…..this is everything i ever wanted
mmmmmmh i think i’m just gonna ignore that episode of derry girls
