An Irish Goodbye	comment	An Irish Goodbye is a 2022 short film (23 minutes) from Northern Ireland, directed by Tom Berkeley and Ross White.Lorcan and Turlough are brothers who, at the start of the film, are at the funeral for their mother Grainne. Lorcan has Down syndrome, and Turlough, who has been away for some time living in England, has to answer the problem of who is going to look after his brother. Turlough insists that Lorcan must go to live with "Auntie Margaret" and the family farm where Mum was living with Lorcan must be sold. Lorcan insists that he does not need to be looked after and he can take care of the farm.Meanwhile, there's the funeral. Father O'Shea, the avuncular priest, mentions that when the funeral home was prepairing Grainne for cremation—Lorcan is toting around an urn—they found a "bucket list" of things that Grainne had wanted to do while she was still alive. Lorcan insists that he, Turlough, and the urn do everything on the list. So that's why the brothers do all the ridiculous items on Mum's list, like taking tai chi lessons and modeling for a life study portrait, carrying the urn the whole while.Michelle Fairley, Catelyn Stark on Game of Thrones, provides the voice of the late Grainne.

Then as Father O'Shea is bidding goodbye, Lorcan says "You can tell you meet Jesus he's a right dickhead!" He's established as strong-willed and a potty mouth.

An Irish Goodbye / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Father O'Shea, despite being a gentle and friendly sort, has a habit of going off on tangents and saying strangely macabre things. Like how he thinks that the urn with Mum's remains might be "still warm," or how he also had an Aunt Margaret, who was decapitated when she was kicked by a cow, causing her to lose her unusually large head, or how it's too late to do Mum's bucket list because she's "no more than a tub of Bisto" (powdered gravy) now.

An Irish Goodbye / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: The boys are tying balloons to Mum for bucket list item "take a balloon ride." While their backs are turned the urn takes flight and they have to give chase. A couple of scenes later there's a cut to the two of them, still chasing the balloon across the countryside. One scene has the brothers eating an uncomfortable dinner with the urn at the dinner table. Later there's a shot of them at the same dinner table, with what's left of Mum on a dinner plate, after they've shattered the urn. One gag has Turlough modeling nude for a painting, per the bucket list. Father O'Shea is caught by surprise near the end to see the painting on the wall. Lorcan breaks wind and Turlough complains as they're doing item #1 on the list, learn tai-chi. Lorcan passes gas again and again annoys his brother at the end as they're relaxing in front of a bonfire.
