<p>Have to agree with you Ryan, this is one great movie. There is a scene with the priest, the American and Bull in the rectory when Bull recounts with so much regret and sorrow how he suggested to his father that his mother be left without the last rites until AFTER the harvest was taken. And in that moment his father knew he would properly care for the field. If you can sit that scene and not be affected, how the land was more than life itself, then you are not quite human. Thanks Ryan,</p>

<p>Completely agree that The Field is probably one of the best Irish films ever. I watched it when it first came out (I was about ten) and it really hit home for me because it was (I think) the first non kitschy Irish film I ever saw. No leprechauns, no charm, no musical numbers and not much in the way of luck. </p>
