I'd be interested in knowing if there's any films set in Ireland you consider to be a good period piece. Have you ever watched the field? I'd also be interested in knowing if you're at all familiar with rural Ireland today.

Yeah, they likely did wear tweed and spend a lot of time in the pub, try to remember it's a film. Something being a period piece simply means it's set in a certain time period. The help in Downtown Abbey probably wouldn't have been as well treated as they were in the series but it's a period piece all the same.
So your main gripes here are the 'picturesque' tweed and the fact they spent a lot of time in the pub. Okay.

I think there's a tradition of music students coming to Achill island as well. The most unrealistic thing I found was the fact it never rained

Who's to say life wouldn't have been like that on Achill island then?

It's a period piece because it's set in an earlier historical period, that's what a period piece is.

Even in the context of film I don't think this is what you call an everyman. It's definitely not in literature and theatre. I would have heard the term first studying literature. I didn't finish my degree thoughso take what I say with a pinch of salt

An 'everyman' as I understand it means some kind of guy who's just a typical regular guy, could be anyone. I always thought Bruce Willis was normally some jacked beast of a man who can take down waves of international criminals normally hailing from somewhere like Russian with a teaspoon

Reply to How do you feel about movies with main stars that were cancelled / or had done nefarious things in the past? I post this after having watched American Beauty tonight. by Fischer_Jones
I think if we're really honest with ourselves a lot of our lives lie on the foundations of suffering and cruelty that severely surpass the disgusting behaviour that Kevin Spacey has been exposed of. We're all benefiting from the use of copper and cobalt for example. Look at where these come from and how they're produced. I can see the argument for not watching films he features in though. I'd be iffy about watching one of his new films but I don't think you're advancing his career by watching the likes of American Beauty or Reservoir Dogs.
