Anybody else watch this whole movie.....
thinking it was set in the present day?
shareI watched it without assuming the time it took place, but when the scenes involving the far off gun battles on the main island I quickly associated it with the Irish Civil War, and since this was a reclusive, rural, island farm setting rhe clothing attire helped nail down the time period.
Perhaps I'm biased because I've traveled all over Ireland and Northern Ireland a while back and saw a lot of modern amenities like telephone lines, cars, and street lights even in the most remote areas.
I thought the clothing and hair etc all seemed very modern, but I knew it was set in the 1920s before going in.
shareYes.
shareAt the beginning I was thinking that it was set in our modern times, yes. But not later on when I was watching the rest of the movie.
shareNo cell phones, no present day.
shareJudging by the clothes and lack of late 20th century technology I thought it was probably set in the 1920s or 1930s. Then when I saw the calendar that said "1923" I thought it was set in 1923. It was a subtle signal, but I got it.
shareIreland still has those little cottages but a lot aren’t lived in. You are more likely to see a bigger house built in the last 20 years built behind them on the same plot of land.
