Watch Disco Pigs For Free

Lack of good storyline.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

BEWARE...SPOILER! After a very long period in which I have't been well enough to watch and get absorbed into good art films, I am feeling better and having a very fun summer. I've only recently discovered the amazing beauty and talent that is Cillian Murphy, and am devouring his films as fast as I can get my hands on them.DISCO PIGS is a film that is as beautiful, tender, ardent and violent as the love that seems to surge between Pig and Runt (Murphy and Elaine Cassidy). Both of them give captivating performances. I must also add that the ethereal music score by Gavin Friday and Maurice Seezer is intriguing and perfectly suited to the tone of this film.Born on the same day in the same Irish town, Pig and Runt are next door neighbors and grow up together as best friends. Their intense friendship reminds me of the one between Pauline and Juliet in HEAVENLY CREATURES. Like those two girls, Pig and Runt have created a fantasy world that they prefer to the boring, imperfect everyday world. They believe only in each other, and they are the willing outcasts, at their school, and everywhere else. They have a penchant for stealing liquor, bullying the boy who works in the liquor store and playing rather cruel pranks on any guy Runt dances with at clubs. The dean of the school is worried about this bizarre relationship, as are Runt's parents, and it is decided that Runt would benefit greatly if she were separated from Pig and sent to a trade school away from home. I found it sad that the adults seemed to care about Runt's future while they regarded Pig as a "lost cause". Both of these children should have been encouraged to develop properly many years before this.Everything changes the moment Runt shows Pig a new outfit she has made. They are fast approaching their seventeenth birthday, and neither of them are prepared when Pig suddenly sees Runt through a new set of eyes. Their perfect world is about to be shattered. When Pig impulsively kisses Runt, she is frightened and unsure of it, which hurts him deeply. The very next day, she is sent away, not even given an opportunity to say goodbye to her best friend. Though it's supremely hard at first, Runt starts to adapt to life without Pig in her very center. She begins to make new friends and find new interests.In contrast, Pig is miserable and on the verge of a psychotic break. Unable to interact with anyone aside from Runt, he is completely inconsolable, obsessed with the idea of waiting in his room until he can be reunited with the only friend, the only girl, the only anything, in his life. After a few days' search, Pig finds Runt and gets her out of the trade school and brings her home, hoping to resume their life as it was before she was sent away. But the damage has been done. The forced separation has caused a permanent and terrible change inside of Pig. And though she still loves Pig dearly, Runt has been exposed to new things. She's not the same person either, and Pig's pranks have become even more violent, and she is repulsed rather than right there with him. Pig comes to the unbearable realization that he is losing Runt in spite of his efforts to hold onto her, and ends up doing something unthinkable. Knowing that things are irreversibly changed between them, and knowing that his life is impossible without Runt, Pig decides to set his best friend free.In the end, it's true that Runt does love Pig as much as he loves her, but after all that has happened, there is no possibility. It's a very sexy, haunting and tragic story. I loved it!

Where do I begin? Disco Pigs is very typical to many Irish films-especially art films-meaning it is raw. I thought this movie was the most amazing Film I have ever seen in my life- Casting wise-Cillian Murphy is my most favourite actor and for very good reason, Pig is not an easy character to become because he is obsessive, dangerous, and still has the innocence of a child-the language and world Pig and Runt invent is poetic with twisted little games that they invent- You could think of this movie being "a more twisted version of romeo and juliet"- so these two soul mates were born only minuets apart, ignoring the world around them they vowed to always keep things the way they were, only them two, Sinead and Darren, Runt and Pig, King and Queen. Them staying in this world only made for them two-all changed days before their 17th birthday-Pig's eyes are being opened on seeing Runt in more of a romantic way-but his obsessiveness gets the best of him-ending in the most heartbreaking sacrifices i have ever seen.

After seeing Cillian Murphy's excellent performances in several movies (Red Eye, Batman Begins, Girl With A Pearl Earring) I began to search for other movies, particularly ones that he plays a large role in. Disco Pigs was exactly the kind of movie I was looking for. The directing was excellent, along with the acting. Elaine Cassidy did a wonderful job portraying Runt. Never, at any point in the movie, did I lose attention or criticize the actors. The plot was brilliant and extremely creative. I mean, who ever thought of two people with a relationship bordering between intense sister-brother, and dangerous, obsessive love? From beginning to end, I remained entertained and interested. In short, Disco Pigs was great and I recommend seeing it.

This film actually cannot be described successfully without first being viewed. It is a film that I think everyone should have seen at some point in their life. The storyline is written well, and it is clear from the beginning the film has been adapted from a play. But this does not hinder its effect whatsoever.In fact it makes me wish i'd have seen it as a play also.Cillian Murphy looks delightful as ever, and I believe this film shows his incredible acting talent to the maximum. Elaine Cassidy also performs brilliantly as his soulmate, drifting away from him as they grow up. The scenes are put together well, and I have such clear and beautiful images in my head , especially as Pig and Runts dream is acted out (KING AND QUEEN). The soundtrack to the film is another strength, The music is haunting and fantastic.This film I guarantee does exactly as it's tagline says. I have watched it everyday since I bought it. That to me says enough about it's brilliance. Please watch it. You won't regret.
