Barbie would make a good comparison for Pride and Prejudice and perhaps Sive too.
Sublime!
I knew education standards were falling but 😂😂😂
The feminist marxists have won /s
Good.
They should put An Cailin Ciuin on the Irish curriculum.
Makes sense. That film has subtext, and subsubtext, and subsubsubtext.
When I saw it in the cinema I was very very high in anticipation of all the lovely colours.
Some family in my aisle had brought a fucking toddler. Roaring screaming crying the whole time.
I’d be a confrontational bastard at the best of times, but I was so stoned I was incapacitated.
Came out of that movie not having a clue what message was meant to have been sent.
Rewatched it recently and had such a “Ooooooh” moment it was gas. Great bloody flick
I studied Bohmenian Rhapsody for Music in my Leaving Cert. That was class!
Unbelievable all the thought provoking films there is and they pick this.. Ireland is officially gone to the dogs
Oof. We are going the way of the Americans. Its more important to be engaged by fluffy shite than bored but learning something
The movie really isn’t good , may have had some culture significance but it’s messaging is dumbed down feminism ,
A better film would be
Incendies, about refugees

Smart choice. Aside from being a film teenagers might already have been interested in or seen, it’s rich in terms of the aspects the comparative question will tend to focus on (i.e. theme/issue, genre, vision/viewpoint, relationships, etc.)
Looking through the broader list of texts, it’s a more interesting list than the one I remember from my leaving cert years.
Can’t be worse than when I did the School of Rock for my Junior Cert
People complaining in the comments as if they’re going to be the ones studying it. I get that it’s a movie about a doll, but also every english teacher with a lick of sense knows that the path of least resistance is to pick media that the majority of kids won’t mind engaging with.
There’s a reason why every discussion on this site about “The Lord of the Flies” includes at least a dozen people bemoaning that they were forced to read it in school.
I’d love to see a film like ‘Cool Hand Luke’ on the Leaving Cert
I don’t like the idea of very recent media being on the english curriculum. There are books and movies that have stood the test of time for decades or centuries that have a sufficient impact of the culture of english speaking countries that should be on the curriculum instead
Lucky
Christ above that was quick
Didn’t know they had a film for the LC these days, when did that come in? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t on the curriculum in the late 90’s that I can recall.
Shit on the leaving cert all you want, but the comparative study is absolutely great. I did ‘children of men’ for mine and loved it.
We did My Left Foot for junior cert.
I wish I could tell you we were mature about it. I wish I could. There was one lad who did a cracking Christy Brown impression.
I found this movie to be really disappointing, was expecting it to be a lot better than it was based on the reviews. Has anyone watched this multiple times?
I wonder how many young angry Irish men are in this thread who are somehow so self-absorbed in their perceived victimisation that they read this film as a massive criticism of every day men.
It isn’t, I’d go so far as to say it was a massive criticism of many streams of feminism
Also, Ryan Gosling with the comedy performance of the year. Alongside Jennifer Lawrence in No Hard Feelings.
Is the Joker (2019) on it too? Why not?
The Handmaid’s Tale was on my comparative
Far right be thinking this is end of days
I’m a big reader and would love to see a more literate curriculum overall. Saying that, the filmed medium is where young people consume the most information, and teaching them an inclination to at least think about what they’re seeing and how it does or doesn’t affect them might give rise to a society that doesn’t vote in crooks and imbeciles to govern them.
