Do you remember what the world seems like from that angle?\n<\/p>\n<p>\nYou certainly will after you watch Kenneth Branagh&#8217;s <em>Belfast<\/em>. It&#8217;s a journey back in time to Northern Ireland in the late 1960s just as troubles broke out and a multi-decade conflict began in the region.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBut <em>Belfast<\/em> isn&#8217;t about that deeply complex and layered struggle. It&#8217;s about one boy and one family. And in that simplicity and focus, it actually becomes relevant to all of us.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBranagh wrote <em>Belfast<\/em> while in quarantine. He said he felt the story was always there and he eventually needed to revisit his experience, and tell it. It is very much his own story, and I jokingly called it &#8220;portrait of a filmmaker as a young man&#8221; because the knowledge we all have watching is that this boy will become Kenneth Branagh, prolific performer, filmmaker, and creative voice.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nofilmschool.com\/kenneth-branagh-belfast-podcast\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Author: George Edelman<br \/>\nThis article comes from <i>No Film School<\/i> and can be <a href=\"https:\/\/nofilmschool.com\/kenneth-branagh-belfast-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>read on the original site.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Branagh shares how and why he approached adult-sized issues from the perspective of a child\u2026 Do you remember what it was like to be a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_customify_content_layout":"","_customify_sidebar":"","_customify_page_header_display":"","_customify_disable_header":"","_customify_disable_header_top":"","_customify_disable_header_main":"","_customify_disable_header_bottom":"","_customify_disable_page_title":"","_customify_disable_content_vertical_padding":"","_customify_disable_footer_top":"","_customify_disable_footer_main":"","_customify_disable_footer_bottom":"","_customify_breadcrumb_display":"","_customify_header_transparent_display":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[38,37,43,42,39,40,44,41,36],"class_list":["post-1624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-video-news","tag-editing","tag-film","tag-guide","tag-info","tag-news","tag-tips","tag-topics","tag-tricks","tag-video"],"rttpg_featured_image_url":null,"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"Brokenmount","author_link":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/author\/sysop\/"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/category\/video-news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Video and Film News<\/a>","rttpg_excerpt":"Branagh shares how and why he approached adult-sized issues from the perspective of a child\u2026 Do you remember what it was like to be a&hellip;","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1624"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1624\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1656,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1624\/revisions\/1656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
