Today we watched a rather...disturbing short story in Irish class. During the film, although it was clear that the female main character was a bit cold and distant, but I don't think anything could have prepared us for the ending...
The main storyline was a woman travelling on the train, reading quite an ...explicit novel, when a blind man (Brendan Gleeson) joins her. Unlike her, he was an extremely talkative character, revealing his entire life story to the woman. Obviously frustrated with his ramblings, she began to play tricks him, like telling him there was a giant lake outside and that there was a worm in his cake.
...This particular fib caused Gleeson to have an asthma attack...however his inhaler was nowhere to be found...or so he thought. The woman on the train had taken it as a "game" and walked off, leaving him dying in his seat.
It was quite a brutal story to choose for a school study :)
Hi Emma, your blog looks great. You should think about doing the student blog challenge.
