Disco Pigs

  • 23 September 2009

Today, I want to write about one of my favorite movies ever, called Disco Pigs.    It is starring Cillian Murphy and Elaine Cassidy, who are best friends Pig and Runt. The two are turning 17, and they are getting ready to deal with all the changes that life throws at them as they grow up.

You see, Pig and Runt were born almost at the same time in the same hospital. They have been best friends since they were born. They have their own language, their own way of communicating, and they are always together. Pig and Runt also live next door to one another, and their rooms are next to each other. They put a hole in the wall so they can hold hands and talk at night when they are in bed.  They call themselves the king and the queen of their own little world.

Up to before the movie starts, their two lives are well balanced and they live in their own bubble very comfortably. But when they get older, things start to change. Runt, who is the girl played by Elaine Cassidy, starts to want to date boys, and Pig only wants to date Runt. He gets jealous and violent and acts desperate when she goes away from him. One day, she is sent to a school in Donegal and it’s the first time they are separated in their lives. They have to find a way to deal with growing up and all the changes that are happening in their lives and inside them all at the same time.

The reason this is one of my favorite movies is becuause as a young person you can relate to really being close to someone before you grow older, and then you start to drift more and more away from them with time.  I can’t tell you how the movie ends but I will say that it is very painful, just the way that growing up into an adult can be. I hope you check it out.

    Nice essay and you told it clearly so I easily understood what you were talking about. Youth is a tough time and so are the other times and so indeed is life. If it wasn’t that tough it would be boring. This toughness gives one a chance to develop oneslf more and more.

    There are many who dream about experiencing happiness without the patience. But that is a dream. And a dream is just that–a dream, a fairy tale. It is to wish for a childish, easy life. This illusion breaks up many marriages. The pursuit of such happiness can only make one miserable
