Referenced in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 961: In a Violent Nature + TIFF 2024 (2024). Belfastperformed by Orbital. I watched Kneecap early as part of AMC's Screen Unseen. I had never heard of it so it was a fun experience going in completely blind. As a rap fan, I was impressed with the rhyming as well as the HARD beats. And the movie overall is stylistic in a very cool way. It does a great job demonstrating subjects like cultural preservation, historical trauma being engrained in your DNA, and resisting against the control of your colonizer. As a Palestinian, all of these themes hit me hard.The only downside I have is not being able to understand a lot of the dialogue. This is due to the accents and slang, as well as references to Ireland-specific terms. Erin Go Bragh (Ireland Forever) and Free Palestine! (1 Viewing, Early Screening AMC Screen Unseen 7/22/2024)
