Hello everyone and welcome to the second part of this series that we're doing specially

for the outlaw nation, where me and my cinephiles co-host, which you see right there, the great

Steve Morris, we break down one film from the best picture nominees here as we lead and

walk up to the Oscars happening next Sunday and today's film is Belfast, this fantastic new film

from Kenneth Brano that came out last year. Steve Morris, first let me check in with you, how

are you, how you feeling on this Saturday afternoon? I'm pretty good. I just had a school picnic with

the kid and there was scooters and there was people that I had to talk to, which I'm okay at,

you know, I went pretty well. How about you? Ah good, same thing hanging out down in San Diego

near the beach with the lady outlaw and her family and for a little while and then back here to

talk about this film, but you know, Steve, you talk about father and son and certainly that's a big

part of this film that we're talking about today. Belfast, it chronicles the life of a working class,

Ulster Protestant family from the perspective of their nine-year-old son, Buddy, who was played by

newcomer Jude Hill and during the troubles in Belfast in Northern Ireland in 1969 and this is a semi-autobiographical

film brought to us by Kenneth Branagh, who wrote and directed this thing. Buddy's father, Pa, who is

played by by Jamie Dornan, he works over in England while the mom is back in Belfast with

Buddy's older brother Will and their paternal grandparents, Granny and Pa, who are played by the great

the name Judy Dench and Karen Hines and the mom is played by Katrin Abel from Outlander. So Steve,

I'll start with you first. Overall thoughts on this film, Black and White film, color initially,

then Black and White for a majority of him and back to color. What did you think and what was

you feeling about this film? Well, that's a father but also as a filmmaker and as a reviewer here.

I first of all thought it was really nice getting a movie from Kenneth Branagh that was so personal.

You know what I mean? Right, because you know, he's done obviously lots and lots of Shakespeare,
