A Message Of Tolerance Is At The Heart Of "Belfast" - Caitríona Balfe

If only the people who buy into intolerance could see how they are being manipulated into supporting the aspirations of a few at the expense of everyone else, including themselves...

"Divisiveness is a very cheap tool for people who want to control things and gain power...It's a lazy political ideology" perfectly describes the MO of the Trump Republican party and all its enablers.

I can’t wait to watch it in March ❤️

The hint in her being Irish is how she spells and pronounces her name, she is also a native Irish speaker

@@veronicadredd22 a Gaeilgeoir.

I was just going to say the same! I thought she was English.

I actually knew she was Irish and I think her English accent is really good. But I'm American and I don't have much of an ear for accents lol.

I admire her courage. Coming out to a talk show *without a bra* ? (Chef's kiss) brave woman

👍🏿

She dropped the fada from her names years ago. I'm so happy she's using it again.

@@kerolives me, too ..that is the accent correct? I have one in my name as well ..but mine is a Spanish last name I've used it since I was little and have never stopped...it just took me awhile to figure it out on the computer long ago ...I love using my accent . (fada)

Yes! It’s gorgeous!!

Yeah, you right, my dawlin's!
Sounds like Big Easy in the house!
💜⚜️💚

But a bra? I noticed stright away braless brave but

@@camillabarclay4049 yes, she needs support.

It was a weird dress selection for someone who used to be a runway model and who looks good in everything.

5 Golden Globes*

Yeah. Nothing talks up a woman's worth more than all the men she's worked beside. Christian bale? Really? People still care about that sh¡t?

@@randomzen924 Friday's child is full of woe. Just as valid. :)

‘Schwarzenegger’

@@bleh329 Like the first part of your comment... Got very upset with the end 🤭🤭🤭 did give it a thumbs up though...

I was coming here to say, isn’t she supposed to stick her leg through the slit?!

Why wish that horror on anyone? * shudder*

I thought it only came out yesterday the film Belfast ?XXX

What a distasteful opinion.

@@lals0193 What? How do you figure?

@@lals0193 aww someone hates women, poor guy.

So true!!

Really? I dont see that at all. But thanks for sharing your opinion. 💓

As always, you've pinned it: we also favor animals with similar features.

Wait ! You can do that ?!

Is as Muineachán í, a amadán! 🙄

@@mrmoose-bt6ns Yeah, ach anns an sreath tbh Outlander, is as Sasainn e....A Sassenach is an English person in Gaidhlig (Scotland) while a Sasanach is an English person in Gaeilge (Ireland)

I wonder why?

The first 3 seasons were absolutely captivating. I lost interest starting the 4th one .

@@DDR131 outlander isn't my cup of tea, but her other projects are excellent.

It's will be better, starting from season 6 although season 5 was great. I can agree season 4 may be dull for some people but you will be used to it because I have read till book 8 and it is moving in an incredible direction.

@Anand kishore for Outlander, I thought the storyline was tired and silly, but my preference is irrelevant because it's a hit 🤣

my thoughts exactly...

this dress was not flattering especially for her boobs; I don't think she was wearing a bra and she certainly needed one especially if she is breast feeding.

Love her; hate the dress.

Whatever the fuck she wants to.

It takes someone as gorgeous as Catriona to pull off such a dress! I love her too!

I thought it was a unique design as well. :)

She is from Ireland 🇮🇪

@@woohoohaha7607 In Outlander she plays an English character, in Gaidhlig the word for an English person is Sassenach but in Gaeilge its Sasanach

@@williamharwood6139 She was born here in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪🇪🇺 what is ur point about her playing English roles ?

@@woohoohaha7607 I just meant the character she plays in Outlander is called “Sassenach” by another character, that’s what the original commenter was referring to, it wasn’t a comment about the actress

She did well not to correct him but she should have .
But then again I always get called German by Amercains based off my accent .
I am from Lancashire . It got awkward wheh we were in a museum dedicated to world war ll over there .

He was referring to her character Claire

@@hannahdyson7129 As an American, I can say many Americans who never leave the country have a really hard time with placing accents. I blame Hollywood. Until recently, non-American characters either had super stereotyped accents or just a general British/London accent.
As an expat American, my mind is also blown. Those accents sound nothing alike.

He might have meant to say British and got confused. It wasn't until I met some British people that I learned there is a difference. I thought the different countries in the UK were just like our states. Thank you Indiana public school system!

@@UnicornsPoopRainbows Except that Caitríona isn't British either. She's from the Republic of Ireland, below the border of Northern Ireland.

Why do you think people care about how you feel regarding a dress? Genuinely curious.

@@bleh329 obviously you do because you took the time to reply lol

Looks like she might have switched it up at the last minute: perhaps the gold part was supposed to go around at the thigh, in which case, I understand her balking.
She probably approved the dress but didn't try it on till she was backstage. Seems like the material is too stiff for a shift with a thigh ruffle, which would likely be a challenging silhouette for a new Mom, anyway.
I WOULD like to give her credit for
1) choosing a Bold Mardi Gras dress, During Epiphany!!!
2) wearing it the way she felt comfortable and, apparently, never giving it another thought. Well Done, Madam: you're going to be a GREAT MOM!

Because they had a right to be there at the People's House. It's not their fault that the FBI showed up to instigate a riot.

Actually, that was what John said that Jesus said...

It's what the Bishops said that John said that Jesus said, (that is if he said it)

WTF?? Prove it.

She does not want or need your foul fake sympathy for a situation that does not exist. You are serving nobody but yourself and hurting others. May the pixels you stare at on your phone light the way to a better heart in 2022.

It was written and directed by an Irishman, Kenneth Brannagh, who lived in Belfast at the start of the troubles, and was writing of his personal experience. All the leads, are Irish, except Dame Judy Dench, the grandmother. But sure...go ahead...near everything you said was inaccurate. The film wasn't meant to be about the troubles, or the IRA. It was to be about family and the sacrifices they make. That's why you missed the mark. You were looking at the wrong thing. Maybe take a moment and look up WHY the man chose to make the movie about his experiences then you call him a traitor? Aye?

@@abootlandersfoundersher1818 to add to this, Judi Dench is actually half Irish - her mother was Irish who met her father while they were studying in Dublin.

Protestants had the whip hand in "Ulster" and perhaps we should have learnt more about this in the filim.
Catholics were denied jobs, housing and dignity. The British government ignored it for far too long. Of course catholics and Protestants lived side by side to some extent before the troubles started, but not now though. Ultimately, this was a personal film about childhood and not political. Good on Ken Brannagh for showing humility and generosity to the catholics, probably upset some members of his community.

No mate. That's not what the movie was about. People who went to see a movie about hate, war, and how it ripped people apart, or a history lesson...why? What Ken managed to do was show the story through the eyes of a child. You might have noticed him. His name was Buddy. This movie wasn't a lesson about the IRA or the fighting. It was a lesson about family trying to hold onto normalcy when shit is falling on their doorstep. And how not everyone hated one another bc they sat in a different church on a Sunday. It was a film about heart. Wanting to keep your family safe. Seems some wanted a different film, and bc of that...they missed out on a beautiful piece of life that happened to the man who wrote and directed what I hope wins all the awards. Kenneth Branagh, from Belfast...who Buddy is based on. * standing O*

@@abootlandersfoundersher1818 Kenneth Branagh could have still made a film from that perspective and with "heart" as you say, but with authenticity about behaviors of the parties involved. This film is as if Minneapolis Police Department (in America, now infamous for George Floyd murder) wrote & portrayed a film about the Black Lives Matter movement. Or if early American-European settlers made a film about Native Americans. It's portrayed with the propagandistic views of the oppressor, which perhaps Kenneth Branagh has internalized from living so long in Britain and believing their lies, but it's inauthentic to the experience, even the isolated, distant perspective of a child, of those Irish Catholics who were persecuted by the Protestants & British.
Again, the film depicts scenes of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (police) HELPING the Catholic civilians - giving them friendly rides home; it doesn't matter if the story is supposed to be from the view of a child - the police DID NOT DO THIS; they were brutal and this paints them as though they were benevolent.
