AngelaS Ashes

Movie • 1999 • Drama  

Report
Based on the best selling autobiography by Irish expat Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes follows the experiences of young Frankie and his family as they try against all odds to escape the poverty endemic in the slums of pre-war Limerick. The film opens with the family in Brooklyn, but following the death of one of Frankie's siblings, they return home, only to find the situation there even worse. Prejudice against Frankie's Northern Irish father makes his search for employment in the Republic difficult despite his having fought for the IRA, and when he does find money, he spends the money on drink.

Frank talks about girls not minding what they do because they’ve already done it with their brothers. Willie charges other boys money to look at his naked sisters

Frank succeeds in going to America like he'd wanted - but there's a certain bittersweetness knowing that his impoverished family is still in Ireland.
