Brendan Gleeson & Martin McDonagh could make a film about nothing and I'd still enjoy it.
Brendan's son Domhnall, now a successful actor in his own right is the lad selling tea on the train.
He's the Ex Machina/Black Mirror guy, right? Amazing actor. Oh, and Harry Potter. And Dredd.
Love them both just love these short films .Even the Irish ones there the best ones.Best in the world.love Ireland 🌈💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯.
"Did you ever shout at a sheep? "
"No.."
"Ahh."
my nephews think it's hilarious to shout 'mint sauce' at sheep.
It's always brilliant when Brendan and Domhnall act together
Just watched The Banshees of Inisherin and had to go straight back to this to remind me that Martin McDonagh was always going to be brilliant.
This short film is brilliant in every way possible for it to be. Acting, cinematography, story, scenery, everything. Martin McDonagh does it again!
To be fair he didn't do it again, this was his first short film, and he won an oscar for it, the ba***rd.
Imagine having Brendan as your dad. Amazing fellow.
This was totally brilliant. I had a young bloke working for me 10 years ago just like this kid even looked like him and he was a Murphy. His Ma was so thankful that I worked him hard everyday as he would be tied when he got home. She enjoyed the rest she got. ADHD is a hell of a thing. I ended up firing him and he shot my place up with a massive potato gun. He was mental, he lived 7 houses over and he could hit my roof with it. Now he's a really good young lad.
What is a massive potato gun? i've only ever seen small ones.
A bit ropy, but you see the seeds of In Bruges clearly and Gleeson is always a joy to watch.
Also "Seven S
Psychopaths" with the background story
And the final scene though
The white rabbit, exactly like the on Zacharias has in 7 Psychopaths.
Hang on! I saw this years ago, and watching it again I've only just realised.... isn't that Domhnall Gleeson playing the young guy with the food trolley?!? Brendan Gleeson's son.. and now possibly most famous for being General Hux in Star Wars.
Don't forget The Revenant and Ex Machina!
For sure. I always forget he's in Dredd too.
He has been in much better stuff than disneys star wars, Ex Machina for example
...and yet the greatest line he ever has or ever will deliver is "we don't get much call for fancy crisps here..."
Bill Weasley and Mad-Eye Moody.
I miss the old train carriages with the soft seats. The old clackety-clack lines. Opening the windows beside the toilet to smoke, watching the join in the carriages bend over and back. Bag of albums from Tower Records, heading home into the sunset the day after a concert in the Point Depot. Good times.
people sitting on the tables for feile 93
That sounds really cool...🤔👍
The modern, towards the consumer optimated, ways of givin' you what you want often forget what you actually want and primarly focus on how they gettin' you to consume faster.
Or in other words; the beauty of those things which took time slowly gets forgotten.
those old trains you could open the door of while it was moving, sure I jumped off one going to a gig myself back in the day. Had to get my shoe.
After seeing "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri", I was curious about this director's earlier work. Well done, both then and now.
seven psychopath and In Bruges are two amazing movies too.
@@drunkenmasterii3250 Agreed!
If you ever have the occasion, he wrote a play titled The Pillowman that's a classic. Very rough but funny. There should be a few stage productions to be found on youtube. Martin's brother John Michael McDonagh wrote and directed another great movie starring Brendan Gleeson titled "The Guard", which I highly recommend.
Different McDonagh brother. This film is by John Michael, not Martin.
@@ciarancassidy7566 No it's not. It's Martin.
"Best dee of me fuckin loif; that cow explodin'."
WOw Domhnall Gleeson back in the days XD
Brilliant! Another great Brendan Gleeson,Martin McDonagh film one can watch over and over and never tire of. Black humour at it's most superlative! And the countryside of Ireland is a star too, the GREEN bucolic glory of it never ceases to amaze me. Namaste from Canada
just for interest.
If anyone ever drank tea on one of those trains from Heuston or any of its lines, at that time , you were drinking canal water.
I know, because I used to fill up the tank.
wow. that must be the subtext; the bereft mother probably aimed to barf, not leap. ahh, research.

are you serious? I'm surprised the toilets weren't constantly fecked.
Thanks for uploading this
I saw this when it first came out and I thought to myself, this director has a lot of promise.
Martin McDonagh, the king of dark comedy
Dónal Ó Cribín it‘s not dark comedy it‘s tragic comedy, wich is pretty rare these days
@@Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj630
ahh now tragic can be dark , and dark can be tragic.
I mean blowing the head off a baby and then off a rabbit , is that tragic or obscene ?
With the lunatic and headless rabbits Im not exactly in tears over the tragedy.
It is fuckin dark though, unless theres a strict pigeon hole for it.
O P the tragety is that he wanted to kill himself
Edit: the humour in tragic comedies can be dark though but it isn‘t used to make the tragic part less tragic
@@Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj630
But blew the head off a rabbit instead ?
extra stragic
They all wanted to kill themselves
The darkness was he was the only one that lived.
O P it is not a drama it is a tragic comedy and the rabbit was the comedy part if it was a drama he could only have one bullet and he would fail
An absolute classic short film
Brilliant shorty my favourite one to date.
So nice to see some of the actors from The Guard here. Can't get enough of this sort of humour in film.
the short man who stabs the cow is the guy who speaks irish and fixes a lamp in the The Guard.
...one of my very, very, very favorite films ever. "Dres-SAGE?"
That was pretty darn good!
I love it! It's so brilliantly done! :)
This is a brilliant short great stuff
Life is a black comedy.
What a fucking day.
This is amazing!!!!
If I had a tenner for every short film about brendan gleeson on a train...
you'd have a tenner?
A lot of people ask me to write about it, i once did before in one of the videos on CZcams but that was unfortunately removed due to copyright issues of the owner and here so i write.
A masterpiece by the great Martin McDonagh .
Moral : Death has different tastes to influence many minds of life. Even as we grow up with life,our moral and ethics do develop and change but death remains constant.
Reason : At his youth, the crazy kid sees death in the way of mockery. It's like when he was young, he had restless and unrealistic imaginations and so he finds the cow is filled with wind and suddenly one day a man from his place strikes the stomach of the cow to let the wind blow and the whole crowd starts to enjoy it, even the cow stands alive too but this was all the kids imagination, reality was that the cow died once when it was pierced with the knife. Even at that scene, the crazy kid also sees the man running away after killing the cow. The Director wanted to show that how imaginations burst out into reality. The crazy kid at that little age realizes that killing is a joke, death is cheap and anyone can run away killing. Same occasion happens to his life where he killed his own mom and was running away in train. Till then also, his mind was in his growing days influence where death is just like game where you run after killing so even in the train scenes, we find him asking other passengers, Mr Gleeson who lost his wife and the other couple who lost their child. He questions them that did they murder their respective losing ones. He ask those questions because everyone on that train was travelling facing death in life. For the crazy kid it was like the man running away after killing the cow. He symbolized everyone running away in train. And as the story progresses, we find that the wife ( young couple) jumps from the train and kills herself just because the crazy kid was bothering her about her lost child who passed away. Here, the theory goes as death for the young woman was very painful or secretive and to end that pain, her method was to let herself get free from pain so she fall to death just to free herself and her pain of losing her young child. Then the scene comes for the police encounter with the crazy kid, where the kid doesn't fight for his life but for a game of shooting because death for him was always easy and fun. It was like shooting to win not to live. In the end comes the story of Mr Gleeson, where death for him was confusing because he was influenced from the incidents in his life but he was not ready to take the big weight but in the end, he does ends up killing the rabbit but then the film ends with him holding the gun, he misses the shot because he is afraid.
Point to note :-
The crazy kid is actually metaphor to Mr Gleeson's character because both of them were unaware of dealing with death. When the first scene begins , we could see Mr Gleeson with his dead wife , he had no idea what to say to his dead wife and so he kept saying those lines "Don't know what to say baby" and then the story continues to the photograph of the rabbit which is left with his wife and secondly comes that Brendan never cried or broke down to his wife's death but instead he left a kiss on the lips of a dead person which strongly suggest the act of a psychological disorder like necrophilia. The scene takes us to the train to the crazy kid who actually was same like Mr Gleeson , never understood death and took it as fun.
In the end, we see in the end, Mr Gleeson actually wanted to feel what death actually feels like and so he shot the rabbit and slowly he realized that it might be painful and to make it sure he thought of hurting him by pointing the gun at his head but he missed and in the end which clearly makes us aware that he is about to realize what wanted to know.
And the name of the film is about Six Shooter because how many shots a gun may fire, each bullet will be named in the name of death. Even the six ages is portrayed in the film or the circle of life, where death shoots to kill but shares a different taste to each situation of life.
The deaths were : 1) The Cow 2) The crazy kids mom 3) The kid of the couple 4) The young woman or the mother of the dead kid 5) The Crazy kid 6) The rabbit.
Each of the incidents included that death has influenced death one by one.
Soumik Dey missed the wife that died at 3 am?
@@omaravila6306 It was never about the wife because in the opening scene, Sir Martin McDonagh gives a brief character build up about Brendan with those lines " Don't know what to say to you baby" which clearly makes a clear vision about Brendan's character was more of confused and in limits of few situations, it is because when his wife passed away, there was no tears or emotions to express the grief and also the photography of the rabbit also is a catalyst to show support the scene along with the kiss on his dead wife's lips which is more of a psychological act of disorder , i mean kissing a dead like necrophilia. It literally shows that Brendan had no sense of situations. Even i left out a point that the crazy kid in the train is also metaphor to establish Brendan's character as the kid too was unaware of death. Even in the end, Brendan actually wanted to feel what death actually feels like and so he shot the rabbit and slowly he realized that it might be painful and to make it sure he thought of hurting him by pointing the gun at his head but he missed and the end which clearly makes us aware that he is about to realize what wanted to know.

"two cot deaths"
I dont feel like he "missed" shooting himself in the end, he burned himself on the gun and dropped it
I think I've watched it a hundred times by now.
Same
Jesus, the ending. Funniest shit ive seen in a while.
We get no call for fancy crisps round here
"Cry baby?" 😂😂
Best thing ive seen in ages :)
brilliant
21:32 homage to Peckinpah

Are we all going to ignore that thats "Tito" from into the west movie ?????? 3:38 or the fact Gleesons son, Dobhnall is in it too 9:38.
Time to call peta

Which ?
the river ?

What , I dont see any cake at 6:34.
I see a monkey and a river.
I remember a similar short movie (as gaelige/also on a train ) with Gleeson playing a disgusting blind asthmatic eating a cake . And suffocates at the thought of a fly being at it.
But not at 6:34
What image at 6:34 ?
@@olliephelan You forgot to tip your fedora
@@Brickcellent
Ok , Ill have to settle with the idea the 6:34 is a toy monkey ? (familiar to all irish students) ?
The actor playing the father, he was in The Guard and Calvary both staring Brendan Gleeson and directed by John Michael McDonagh.
Subtitulos al español plis!!!
18:01 Cow With Trapped Wind
I`m not a native English speaker and the Irish accent can be very challenging for me.
I wish I understood what Gleeson and Conroy are saying from 21:04 onward.
It was very hard for me too but he is basically telling that the young boy killed his mother and while he was dying the boy is complaining that he couldn't shoot anyone because he thinks it's a game.
“ah, sheep”
Could anyone tell me where this lads accent is from? He sounds like he's trying to do an Irish accent at times but then he just sounds pure authentic other times.
Lad....
Splendid, true and awesome! You really are one gifted man, Martin McDonagh - and you have true fellows around you to bring your thoughts into reality, with very charming pictures.
The "Oscars" are worth a shit, but your movies deserve cheeeeeeeers! I rise me glass and say: You´re one Irish Man! To absent friends, let us drink and deliver.
being irish isn't all about drinking you doss american eejit
So...the film no longer has the rights to St. James Infirmiary by White Stripes? It used to play over the credits
This felt much longer than it was.
22:00 when your buddy gets knocked in Pubg
Okay, this is great and all, but do the sound effects for the cow parts landing on the ground take anyone else out of the film? They sound too much like wooden bats hitting watermelons for me to not get distracted by them.

If I had a dime for every time I've made someone kill themselves I would have two dimes
McDonough doesn't like rabbits much
at the time of filming the actor playing the kid is 38 years old, ruhdrie conroy (sp?)
I think that might be wrong
@@tomjordan6092 nope. he's 43 now. at the time of filming he was 38, which is awesome.
@@donkeyears4704 The film was released in 2004, which is 19 years ago
Poor Rúaidhrí Conroy got stopped at Immigration and was denied entry to the States so missed out on the Oscars win. The Immigration officer thought he was lying apparently he overstayed a 90 day visa in 1998 poor guy had no luck.
I'd call being denied entry into the USA a wonderful stroke of luck.
Wow
I didn't understand what they said. :( Such a difficult accent!
19:39
Every thing was good, the acting, directing, cinematography, story and screen direction. But the only thing that clicked was not crisp sound. The sound was bad, you should have worked on it. Otherwise great ❤️🙏
So the green shirt kid killed his mom or what?
Why are the police who shot the kid dressed in British police uniforms?
Poor aul Brendan has no business to be taking trains anywhere, Lord knows he never has a good time on them 🤣
I need this with eng sub. I can't understand half of their mumblings
Oi it is English aint it. You got wax in yer ears dun it
I'd say you might have need of more than subtitles
Like si vienes aqui de U-tad
Why are the actors speaking Klingon?
Love dark comedy.. but ehh

i thought this was a black comedy, where are all the brothers
so this is a these guys all want their wives to die movie? weird and not a fan. the lack of humor in this comedy is ironic but not funny at all.
Stupid film. Black humor is a result of inner illness., the young guy gets on our nervous. ))))
Actually, if you know anything about cinematography or media theories it's a brilliant piece of work. But I suppose you wouldn't know a thing about either now, would you?
