Uisce Beatha ('Whiskey / Water Of Life') - Multi Award-Winning Irish Titanic Short Film

I come back to watch this every now and again. The end always makes me shed a tear or two, in that soul-cleansing happy way. Fantastic work Mr. O' Connor.

By god that’s well written and well shot, well done, there’s something romantic abs Irish father and son relationship even tho we don’t know how to show it in real life

Beautiful.

I LOVED THIS. And I'm a hard to please Titanic Historian.
Did you get the actual whistle? It sounds like it could be it?

Didn't read the description before I started watching. As soon as I saw 'White Star' on his ticket, it hit me. Well done.

waw!

Im not crying, thank god for the whiskey

Beautiful story

I finally found it again! Omg

Studying this film for my English class our teacher showed it to us today. Loved it and absolutely brilliant. Well done!

Ah. Ah.

Loved it!

Nothing like losing the boat...

This is all about father and son love. Just wonderful, the young man was ashamed for having lost the boat while the father was all in joy for not having lost his only son.

Amazing! My love to Ireland! Is breá liom Éire ❤

What a beautiful film, we boozers get it right some of the time!!

Beautiful. Bears the weight and emotion of the prodigal son story.

Wow! I watched this short film while breakfast and It makes me smiled at how God blessing for this young man fate. Ah....Go home, son, your old man needs you more🌹

The whiskey was truly "the breath of life"!

Authentic, touching, vivid and superbly executed.

I'll drink to this!

took a minute to sink in,

Absolutely brilliant! Apart from the reference to the ill-fated Titanic, it is a kind of re-interpretation of the return of the prodigal son motive. Love it ❤

O Danny Boy.

So wonderful. I blundered across this film two or three days ago and have already watched it several times. I particularly like the performance of the actor who plays the father. He has a perpetual scowl on his face and a sharp tongue for his son. Before the boy goes away, the father reaches out to embrace him or at least place an affectionate hand on his shoulder, but can't bring himself to do it. Later he's devastated when he believes his son is dead. Then Tom miraculously returns, and the father can't believe it. He reaches out to touch the boy, as if to make sure he's not a ghost, and it makes that long, slow embrace that closes the film so poignant. Just marvelous!

I wonder how many pondered thier situation. Frankly it didn't matter who y ou were you were fucked! It's extremely sad to look at the actualities involving this

Oh so good...

A fondness for the drink rarely saved a life but on this occasion...

Grand. I tell yah..immigrant 1962 to Crooklyn..cop .NYPD ..combat veteran..well done

Wonderful!!

Such a simple idea, the type one comes up with on a bar having a drink wirh friends. Great execution, little details, tough love becomes real.

Powerful ! So many layers to it. Powerful.

Have to admit I shed a tear or 2, beautiful short story.

Sublime, from the beginning to the extremely emotional ending. Fantastic. Thank you

As an Irish American, having spent 8 years living in Co. Clare where we own a cottage on Galway Bay, I will say this was just wonderful! I, too, had tears in my eyes, as I know too well the emotions involved! What a masterpiece! WELL DONE and thank you!

That wink and admonition is everything about my ancestral homeland. Everything.

got drunk ...
... and missed ...

Brilliant Tadgh

I love it.

Wow, this was something else. 8 min of pure joy.

3.5 thousand likes in 8 years for this little gem. A video of a cat falling of a table gets hundreds of thousands of likes. Is the world unjust or just tasteless and trivialised beyond belief. It’s hard to say, but what can you do?
