It has a very strong message...not for everyone, especially those who are squeemish, and only like to see happy endings..and such, here\'s a summary from wiki: [QUOTE]The film/ play revolves around the intense relationship of the two teenage protagonists, Darin and Sinead; nicknamed \"Pig\" (Cillian Murpy) and \"Runt\" (Elaine Cassidy). Pig and Runt were born at the same hospital at nearly the same time and grow up right next door to each other. This brings about a very close relationship between the two that borders on telepathic. The two talk in their own idiosyncratic \"language.\" The two characters live in their own separate world and barely communciate with the world around them.However up until their seventeenth year, their relationship remains one of friendship, albeit a very intense unhealthy one. Eventually however, Runt catches and reciprocates the attentions of another young man from her school just as Pig begins to notice Runt. As their seventeenth birthdays draws closer Pig\'s violent nature becomes more and more obvious and his romantic intentions towards Runt becomes confirmed when he kisses her after a rampage at a disco. Runt however does not want to give Pig what he wants of her. However she doesn\'t know how to reject him therefore continues her friendship with him feeling awkward and caged. Pig remains very protective of Runt and finally their closeness raises the concerns of the the school they attend. They are separated and Runt is sent away to boarding school. Pig is crushed by this and decides to track down Runt and make her his again. This starts off a irreversible chain of events that will ultimately end in tragedy.

He was amazing, the action scenes and the whole story is one of the best for this genre. 2. Breakfast on Pluto- definitely a collectible item. Its one of the first DVDs I got from amazon! :grin 3. Disco Pigs- Cillian was intense, really intense! You need to watch this one too! - Admin Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:00:10 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/spotlights/stars/cillian_murphy/#comment-66 Hey Lukas, I added the youtube video you posted, it seems the code at our comment system has difficulty reading the youtube embed code, anyway, to all, enjoy the video! thanks man! - Admin Thu, 12 Jul 2007 23:51:45 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/spotlights/stars/cillian_murphy/#comment-64 One big Cillian Murphy fan here! another top list: Murphy is one talented actor! I think his range is not limited to leading roles, as he has proven already in Red Eye and Batman. For me he was awesome in: 1. Breakfast on Pluto- Neil Jordan is perhaps one of the best directors we have. Murphy was so good in this film, you can\'t forget him. 2. On the Edge- buy the DVD! buy it! buy it! someone at amazon said: [QUOTE]There\'s a moment early on in John Carney\'s \"On The Edge\" that serves to self-assuredly define itself as the alternative to the tired, Hollywoodized coming-of-age genre. In a scene between Jonathan (Cillian Murphy) and his psychologist (Stephen Rea), a chidingly defiant Murphy declares there won\'t be any \"Good Will Hunting\" moments between doctor and patient. True to his word as the movie is true to its central point about the fragility and the value of life, there aren\'t any. And the result is quite simply a breath of fresh air. [/QUOTE] 3. 28 days later. Cillian rocks! - Lukas Jamieson Thu, 12 Jul 2007 23:05:45 +0100
