The “Belfast” storyline is deeply personal for writer/director Kenneth Branagh because what you see play out in the film is what Branagh recalls seeing in his neighborhood when he was growing up. The 1960s in Northern Ireland was a time of great tumult between the Catholics and the Protestants. Here, we see the struggle your everyday family would have had to not only survive the civil war brewing in their neighborhoods but, at the same time, to do the right thing for their family.

“The Drummer” is a slow-moving anti-war movie with too many heavy-handed topics. It treats the characters as players in a moral dilemma based during the height of the Iraq War. Set in 2008, in a small town in upstate New York, a little place called ‘The Drummer’ becomes a focal point of resistance to the ongoing War. The people involved are soldiers (or ex-soldiers) who want nothing to do with the thing they are stuck doing.
When sitting down to watch this film, please make sure you’ve just finished “The Souvenir” first, as it picks up very nicely where that first one left off. Back-to-back watching is essential.

I had heard the term the “Louis Wain Cat” before but had no idea what it meant. Having had no genuine interest in cats until later in life when I got one for my child, I never dove into anything about the mousers. I instead believed that they were more vicious where dogs were more sweet.
