The Dead

the thing i noticed or something that occurred to me yet is probably completely wrong is that this party seems more like it was ... not exactly held by the most lively of people.
actually i compare it to Tm Burton's Corpse Bride. from the language they use "perished alive" (the hell?), to the dullness of the party itself and the characters (some are more fun or interesting than others) it seems like this is more a wake or party of the dead than anything else. i swear the first few lines had me running the movie and by the end wondering if Michael Furey was enjoying his afterlife as well as Bonejangles (i think that's his name) was.



another little thing and this actually came from my history of the English lang. class. we were discussing the Celts and British today. apparently that comment about being a west Briton has to do with language and the suppression of the Irish peoples. pretty interesting.
