Thanks for the RH link. Here is another part of the interview, speaking about the movie, Angela's Ashes... _______________ Angela’s Movie ‘I saw ANGELA’S ASHES this week and I think the only Oscar it deserves is for special rain effects. The movie is two and half-hours of rain. Parker has taken the Limerick of that era and he has dated it back to the late 19th Century. It is more Dickensian in its squalor than it is accurately Limerick. ‘If so much rain fell in Limerick we would be famous for our water polo teams.’ I felt that, for the people not from Limerick, the book is a thrashey ‘unputdownable’ read but with the movie you can’t wait to get out. It is a boring, dull and very repetitive movie and is totally unmoving. I admit that McCourt had a wonderful sense of humor, an ironic sense of humor, which is characteristic of most Limerick people but I found that the picture does not have one bit of it. The movie is nothing short of a two hour moan and the book was one long moan and ‘Tis is even worse. The movie is one long perpetual moan. It like McCourt is screaming out for love. ‘Feel sorry for me, love me, an endless search for love. But I doubt very much that if he finds this elusive love that he can reciprocate. I don’t think he can give anything back, it’s too late, not when you can treat your mother like that, what does his treatment of his mother in the book tell you about his emotional condition? I don’t think all the money he has made by tarnishing the good names of people who cannot defend themselves against him will give him a moment of happiness or will fill that hollow in his life. limerick.com
