As someone of partial Irish-American and Italian-American descent, this movie got me right in the feels.
Does Saoirse Ronin deserve an Oscar for this stellar performance?
>muh heritage
Not one of her performances deserve an oscar nomination, not a single one.

it's just an excellent film, no heritage required.
I doubt the oscar winner (pic related) will be someone who gave a better performance but that's not got much to do with why people win.

lmao wrong pic

Do you actually have any ties to Ireland or Italy, though? I live in the US and a lot of people like to tout how they're "part Irish" or "half Italian", when they don't speak the languages, have never been to the countries, can't make any of the national dishes, don't know the national anthems, and don't actually know any history of the countries, either.
If you're at that state, I don't think you should worry too much about what "part" or "half" you are, but that's just me, maybe.
>>64197579
Who the fuck can't make potatoes or spaghetti?
>>64197579
Irish people speak English
>>64197751
they used to all speak irish and lots of them still do
>>64197579
Most Americans do that
Which is why two people posted >muh heritage
>>64197706
>>64197751
Irish is normally compulsory in primary and post-primary schools in Ireland.
>>64197579
OP here. Well, not all of us are Bernie Sanders supporting faggots like you who refuse to recognize the importance of the cultural and ethnic identity of your immigrant ancestors and how that's shaped your family over generations.
>>64197819
most human beings do that.
the reality that we just get shat out onto the surface of the Earth will little connection to people around ourselves is hard for people to accept. nationalistic ideas of self develop precisely so people can feel connected to something larger and more durable than themselves.
>>64197807
22% of people in Ireland speak Irish, and 0.3% of them speak it as their first language
>>64197968
Of course everyone identifies with their countries
But saying you're 1/8 English, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 German, 1/4 Italian and 1/8 Polish is a uniquely American thing.
>>64197277
Yes. Much better than Brie Larson in Room
>special snowflake
>>64198138
>everyone identifies with their countries
it depends on what you mean by "identifies" and "country".
people have a vague, abstracted idea of what their country is that is mostly emotional and grounded in childhood experiences. no one actually has a complete idea of what their country "is", because ultimately a country is just millions of people living in a place.
>>64198024
its actually 89.7% and 59.2% respectively. don't just go around making up statistics
>>64197277
Yes. She will win the Oscar.
>>64197344
Bad tripfag opinion! Saoirse confirmed as GOAT actress
>>64197492
I'd be surprised if Blanchett steals it from her but it's certainly possible.
>muh heritage
When will Amerifats learn national identity is a dynamic relationship and being "Italian" or "Irish" is defined by recognition by actual Italian and Irish people not family memes
>partial Italian-American and Irish-American descent
So your parents aren't even Irish or Italian, they're themselves the descendants of them
That's muh heritage taken to a retarded extreme. At least try to learn Italian
She deserves the Oscar but Weinstein is backing Carol so who knows what will happen. I really don't know what the point of having an Oscar for Best Actress in a movie if Ronan doesn't win it for Brooklyn but we all know the Oscars are horse shit.
of course
best actress living
>>64198293
And where did you get those number from
My 22% and 0.3% come from

Worst of both worlds, my condolences

I recognize it when it's actually there.

oh you adorable dum-dums
>>64198390
Have you seen all the potential oscar nominee performances?
If not, how are you so certain Ronan deserves it?
did pocahontas get you right in the feels since you're 1/64th cherokee?
>>64197277
I don't have anything to do with Irish people.
I've never felt homesick for more than a few hours
There aren't tragedies here, there aren't "shocking" moments.
Yet this fucking movie left me in pieces, so I suppose she deserves any award,Fuck, I can't even watch a single excerpt of that movie without starting to feel a damn lump in my throat.
>>64198390
And Ronan has Fox Searchlight behind.
>try to download this
>download this
literally what the fuck
As someone of full pure Italian descent , this movie was ruined by smelly subhuman potato eaters.
>>64199331
A couple of days ago they started taking down many of the leaked films, you'll have to dig just a tiny bit more.
I thought this was a romcom or some chick flick - is it actually good?
>>64198138
It's not uniquely American. It's uniquely European diaspora phenomena. Australia, USA, Canada, New Zealand, white South Africans, lighter-skinned high-caste Hispanics, etc. Its about racial identity and its important for everyone.
>>64197277
I thought the trailer looked so boring, is it really that good?
>>64200005
I can put it as this, the trailer left out all the atmosphere
>>64197819

>culture
HOHOHOH
>>64198390
What did she do that was so great acting wise except for speak with an accent?
>>64199331
