I couldn't watch the whole thing, I just couldn't. I bought the DVD (I have a region free DVD player cuz the film isn't available in the US) and got at least halfway through and then I couldn't watch it when things started to go bad for Cathal. I'm very triggery and even though I know what happens, I still couldn't watch it!!
He was fantastic in the parts I could watch though, and sooo different from his Merlin character it was fun to watch...till it wasn't.
I did watch and love Island though (I'd already read the book and loved it to and Colin was perfect in that role). I sure hope he does more movies in the future!
Ah, don't worry about it. Even Bradley James couldn't understand Colin when he first started speaking with him in his native Northern Irish accent...and Bradley's supposed to be a native speaker ;-) Frankly, I melt into a pool of goo for a good, strong Scottish, Irish (esp. the Northern Irish) or Northern English accent.
I know a lot of people who are native speakers of English who can't understand someone else speaking English in a strong regional accent.
The movie's worth watching more than once so if you don't catch all the dialogue the first few times, you'll eventually get it ;-)
Yep, Irish or Scottish accent will do it for me everytime, (didn't marry one though, bummer, athough he does have an accent) I believe in some English people have trouble with shows like Taggert!
That is exactly what I did! I have watched Island and Parked many times,to find out what Colin was saying,and after that,again more! I think Colin is really a different actor.He is so talented,and he know how to use it.He really pays everything for the role.I can't remember if I have seen someone like him before.
What I love about him is how completely different he is in each role. That is the mark of a truly good actor, when you forget you're watching Colin Morgan and only see Cathal or Callum or Merlin (or Jethro or even John Leary ;-) instead. Like I said, I hope he keeps making movies because if he decides to stick to theater, I won't get to see him anymore :-( or at least hardly at all.
But...the ears, the look, the hair...the fake injury just makes me want to hug him and tell him everything will be alright.
