Northern Ireland-born actor Jamie Dornan says she’s getting emotional at the ending of the Derry Girls. To be honest, I have something to do with Jamie.
He admitted that after watching the final episode of the hit series, he sent the show’s writer Lisa McGee “the most fascinating text message.” It captured a sense of hope in 1998 with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement after decades of violence.
We attended the Our Time In Space event at the Lyric Theater in Belfast and talked about integrated education. Jamie said the Derry Girls scene, where girls participate in a cross-community program, reminded me of my school days when I went on a trip to a share center. At CoFermanagh.
“I equated it a lot with the Derry Girls, I talk emotionally about the finale,” he said.
“I know Lisa very well, it’s about the most sophisticated text I’ve felt to anyone at the end of the finale, with such honesty and such humor from this part of the world at the time. It’s almost impossible to tackle the subtle complexity of coming, I don’t know how she did it, it’s incredible and very inspirational. “
He and the Lisa generation are now making decisions about where to send their children to school, he said.
“We are in a post-conflict society and your decision about where to send your child to school has changed,” he said.
‘The method shaped me. At that time it was a little more Protestant than it is now, but there was also a large international community. Mixing all these different elements helps to better understand what it is.
“The division never felt real, it was never near the surface. It didn’t matter. It feels like the church’s influence has diminished over time.”
Most Protestant students attend managed schools in Northern Ireland and most Catholic children attend maintained schools, but in both departments they are not limited to a single religion. Claims to have an increasingly diverse intake.
Currently, about 7% of Northern Ireland schoolchildren attend schools officially designated as an integration.
Following the success of the Derry Girls, Lisa was offered urban freedom to “bring joy and public pride” to her home.
The hit comedy series maps Londonderry and has established a fan base in several countries around the world. This has been acknowledged by SDLP Councilor Martin Riley.
Honor is given by the local council, for example, to either a person (civilian) or the army, in recognition of the extraordinary service to the city.
Elsewhere in the event, Fifty Shades of Gray actor Jamie gave comments on local politics. He named “Shuraba” and the politician “Archaism” in the same text he had spoken for 50 years. – A situation of resentment by Brexit.
“They aren’t the conversations we should have. It really hurt in the end,” he commented, Brexit said, “about how they identify so many offensive truths to people. I’m skeptical. “
Derry Girls are available to catch up with All 4.
