The poverty stricken childhood of Frank McCourt in Limerick, Ireland is told in his memoir, Angela’s Ashes. His memoir is filled with pages of intense and dark situations during his vehement experiences. In many film adaptations of novels, the mood of each significant event can be altered due to special effects, the screen play, or just the unconvincing roles by the actors. These events must be brought to life on the screen in such a way that does not hinder the themes and overall mood of the story. Otherwise, the film goes astray and is no longer based on the book, but merely a variation of the book. Alan Parker’s 1999 adaptation of Angela’s Ashes, however, accurately portrays the true intentions of Frank McCourt’s memoir.
No movie adaptation can fully show all the events of the novel it was based on. They sum up the plot and show the critical events to fit the movie in the approximate two and a half hour time period. Similar to many film adaptations, Angela’s Ashes also cuts out events that were mentioned in the book but these events were not in the least bit vital to the impression of the novel. The movie skipped right through to the birth and the death of Margaret, Frank’s only sister. It did not include the helpful Italian grocers who gave the McCourts left over stock from their store. The movie also did not include certain details that established their desperate state to the viewers. For instance, the part where Frank’s siblings had to use newspapers for toilet paper and how they would complain about their black behinds was not included. However, the movie displayed other details that showed the intensity of the poverty the boys endured. The movie instead showed the jam jars they used as cups and the lavatory they had to share with the entire neighbourhood. The very last event in the memoir was Frank arriving in America and meeting a woman. However, in the movie the very last event was just Frank on the boat sailing to America and seeing the Statue of Liberty in a new light. These small differences are understandable considering the time limitations that film makers must follow.
The actors and actresses did a phenomenal job of portraying the three main characters. Emily Watson, who played Angela McCourt, demonstrated her anguish yet her sense of constant helplessness since she had no choice but to deal with her miserable marriage (divorce was illegal in Ireland at the time). Robert Carlyle, who played Malachy McCourt, brilliantly acted his role of a caring father and a patriotic man who was helpless to his alcohol addiction. Michael Legge, who had the role of the eldest version of Frank McCourt, played his role of a good boy who feels regretful when he goes astray outstandingly.
The action of choosing only the essential events to show in the adaptation did not hinder the overall impression and themes of Angela’s Ashes. Viewers still can see the McCourt’s daily torments and horrific living state and the transformation Frank goes through. The brilliant performances of the actors and the cinematography that showed the gloomy rain of the Limerick streets also help make the 1999 film adaptation of Angela’s Ashes an accurate portrayal of the memoir.

Collaborative Analysis on Angela's Ashes
Angela’s Ashes is a remarkable memoir of the extreme poverty experienced by Frank McCourt. McCourt begins unfolding his life story from his childhood in America and Ireland and the hardships he faced with his family. The dominant idea of poverty lingers throughout the pages of Angela’s Ashes and its relevance to the exploration of themes is evident. Then the plot, setting, and the character transformation of the protagonist all support the themes of Angela’s Ashes in an orderly fashion.
Frank McCourt writes about his mother, Angela, and how he met his father, a tremendous error that would change the lifestyles of his future siblings. Their one-time encounter on a rainy day in a bar was influenced by loneliness, desire, and a trail of alcohol. McCourt hints at how his conception and his parent’s marriage was the opening incident for the miserable life of his family. His father constantly spent his wages and left his family begging on the streets and at the doorsteps of charities. Angela’s mother reminds Angela constantly of her mistake of marring Malachy; she reminds her that he is the source of all her problems. McCourt establishes the fact that it takes one gigantic wrong turn in life to change the course of one’s life.
Frank McCourt and his family have undergone a lot of desperate and difficult situations. The absence of necessary items and learning to live with what one has taught Frank gratefulness and strengthened him as a person. When he was old enough to get a job he started saving his wages, unlike his father, and eventually saved enough to go back to America. From Frank’s change in character it is evident that undergoing hardships strengthens one’s character. The themes in Angela’s Ashes are supported by the events that occur in Frank McCourt’s life. His mother, Angela, and his father, Malachy, struggle to keep their five children surviving with what little they have. McCourt’s twin brothers and baby sister die early on, yet his parents continue having children.
In hopes of a better life in America, the family move only to find that the economy there too is also dismal. They move back to their home country of Ireland to be closer to their family and perhaps accept any generosity they might offer them. To their misfortune, both Angela and Malachy’s families are reluctant to offer any support but because of their obligation due to being family, their help is to a bare minimum. Their extended family blames them for their problems. Ironically, the McCourt family’s neighbours and local grocer accommodate some of their needs more welcomingly.
The source of their monetary deficiency is due to Malachy’s alcohol addiction. He would spend all his wages drinking at the pubs every night and end up coming home singing Irish folk songs and waking his boys up to make them swear to die for Ireland. He was a patriotic man who often complained about the horrible state of Ireland because of the British.
Angela often cried at nights because of her family’s suffering and her inability to control her husband’s alcohol addiction. She could not divorce him because of her Catholic upbringing and because it was illegal in Ireland.
Knowing that he has a dim future in Ireland with his family, Frank gets a job and decides to save to move to America. When Frank turned nineteen he had saved enough to go America, which was now much more thriving than Ireland.
Although the plot greatly contributes in supporting the themes of Angela’s Ashes, setting also plays a major role. Angela’s Ashes follows McCourt’s poverty stricken childhood in Limerick, Ireland. The story takes place during the time of WWII. Readers experience the affects of Frank’s agonizing struggles alongside his family from his kindergarten years to the first turn of adulthood. Readers observe the tragedies and little triumphs throughout the fifteen years of living with his family.
In the beginning of the memoir, Frank and his family move to New York for a chance at living a fulfilled life. When the result of that decision backfires, the family moves back to their homeland of Limerick, Ireland. They stayed in Limerick for many years. Although they moved frequently at first from apartment to apartment, searching for the cheapest rent, they always remained in Limerick.
Since Angela’s Ashes revolves around the lack of food at home and the arrival of Frank’s drunk father every night, the primary setting of the memoir is in Frank’s home. In contrast to the lack of food, Frank and his siblings were forced to beg on streets and wait in long line-ups at charities. Therefore, the secondary setting is the intimate streets of Limerick.
Although Angela’s Ashes is a memoir and Frank cannot personally choose where he wants the events of his young life to occur, the location of his memoir does affect the mood of the story. The drastic rainy weather of Limerick is often mentioned as a drag. The heavy rainfall often leaks from their roof and Frank has had many excruciatingly cold nights. Also due to the constant rain, Frank could not play outside and feel like a normal child and thus the depressive state grew. The fact that Frank’s memoir is mainly set in Limerick, with its dreadful weather, contributes to the overall gloomy lifestyle of the McCourts.
The person that Frank becomes supports one of the themes of his memoir, which is that undergoing difficult situations strengthens character. Since Angela’s Ashes is a memoir of Frank McCourt’s life, he is the protagonist and thus advances his own life story forward. As the events of his life unfold, readers witness the changes of character Frank goes through as he experiences these events. The antagonist of Angela’s Ashes is Frank’s father since he hindered Frank from leading a normal life.
Frank McCourt has been described as having “the odd manner” like his father who is from the North of Ireland. This behaviour is the distinguishing point of Frank from his other brothers, despite the fact that he is the eldest. “The odd manner” is Frank’s reactions to particular situations and the overall impression he leaves on people. For example, he would sit on the seventh step leading to their apartment and speak to an imaginary angel, asking for the health and vitality of his family. He continued doing this until he was twelve, which is well past the normal time for children to believe in mythical beings.
While Malachy, Frank’s brother, was adored and smothered with love, Frank was a boy to be frowned at as he resembled his father so impeccably. Angela’s mother and sister loathed Frank’s father, a man of lower class and honour and since Frank looked like him, they disliked Frank by extension. This is all ironic because Frank was a typical five year old boy with average height and weight. As he got older, Frank maintained his common weight although he was unable to upgrade his dingy clothes to more respectable attire.
Even though his appearance was dispiriting for his mother’s side of the family, Frank made up for it in intelligence. He was encouraged by his teachers to pursue stronger academic achievements because he had the unique capability for it. Frank showcased an outstanding ability for higher thinking and was even recommended to attend a prestigious school. There were a lot of downfalls in Frank’s life, but he was not concerned. Throughout Frank’s atrocious lifestyle growing up, he was indifferent to it all. While he experienced discomfort and was deprived of a happy life, Frank merely felt disappointed and then quickly converted that feeling to immense hope.
Frank’s hope along with his powerful devotion to God and his Catholic upbringing made Frank a highly spiritual individual. He would often feel great remorse for his sins and rush to the church for the confessionals. While there he would pray deeply to the saint he needed the most at the time and light a candle. His life decisions revolved around what his religion would respond to it, but as he reached his late teens, he loosened the ties and became less devout.
Frank McCourt underwent a common change from a pure innocent soul to one which has sinned greatly. He changed from someone who was afraid to sin to someone who cared more about exploring the countless possibilities of life than demonstrating bad behaviour.
Angela’s Ashes revolves mainly around the themes of how one grand mistake will change the course of your life and how difficult situations forces people to become stronger. These themes are in themselves powerful yet Frank McCourt’s life strongly supports these themes. More specifically, the plot supports the themes and the setting along with the character metamorphosis adds the finishing touches to make the themes appear more effective and convincing.

Disgrace of Humanity
As if this story isn't depressing enough as it is, we find out that the twins die! They die of pneumonia but Oliver dies first. It is at this time the aunt and other relatives shed a single shred of care towards their own family. Why does death bring people closer? Why can't we be close and caring towards each other when we are alive, when it actually matters? I guess though it is natural to be ungrateful and take things for granted because it is so easy to do this and we humanity always falls into the liberation of the easiest route. Aunt Aggie and Angela start crying at the funeral and even the Grandma seems disappointed, which is a lot to say talking about her. She is more angry though then sad, perhaps at herself for not caring enough in the beginning. Grandma felt guilty enough thought that she went and got an apartment for them and paid the first two week's rent. She gave them pots and pans, jam jars, and other things they would need. She warned Angela to tell her husband to get a job and start supporting his family. The family that he threw apart.
The whole family goes down to the IRA to get a special funding to help them with their situation but they are reclined. They had spent their money paying for the bus fare to go all the way to Dublin since they live in Limerick. On the way back disappointed and without any money at all, a police officer decides to help them and lets them stay at a prison cell. This is how low this family has sunk. They have no home or way of getting home that they have to spend their night a place of unwanted criminals. Luckily the men there were kind enough to give them the money for the bus fare for the next day and gave them a warm meal. The children were adored by all the cell mates and police officers there. Although they all got to sleep on the floor, Angela slept on the bench with a blanket underneath her, since she's a woman and that's more respectful.
The point is that the IRA and the relatives are unwilling to help this family, but a bunch of Dublin police officers were happy to jump in and help this family out with food and shelter. Generosity is in everyone, even those you don't expect. It's a disgrace to humanity that we are reluctant to help one another especially when it requires so little of us. Hopefully it won't take a death for each of us to help us realize the value in giving.

Elements of Poverty
These children witness poverty everyday because they live it. Because every aspect of their life is encompassed by it. Their eating habits, what they eat, what they drink, where and how they sleep, how they go to the bathroom, what knowledge they have and much more are all effected by their family's poor financial state. While many kids might find a chocolate and candy as a treat and a treasure from Santa and friendly elders, these boys believe that a boiled egg is a treat. A boiled egg is a treat to them. They drink tea and water readily and nothing more. Juice is way too expensive and forget luxury items such as soft drinks. A lot of the time they mash scraps they can find to make the components of a decent meal. And a lot of the time that's not enough for them all to eat. Forget the quality of the food, the quantity of the food is pretty low too. They use newspapers for toilet paper and the boys have expressed their discomfort. The mother is annoyed with their bums being black and dirty but she has no choice because they can't afford to buy real toilet paper. When the Mom was utterly shocked at the death of her baby daughter she couldn't cook or clean or take care of the boys. They had to do that on their own. Of course Frank helped because the other boys were mere infants (2 years- the twins). Frank had to take care of the preparation of their meals. A young child cannot take care of himself let alone his three younger brothers. The substitutes they had to use are degrading to them- and they know it too but once again, they have no other option. Their money is really tight and the Dad is unwilling to give up his drink.

Ignorance of the Uneducated Children
The truly sad thing about Angela's Ashes, is actually the unavailability of a proper education for the boys. Even though they are young, a pre-school of some sort, a kindergarten or anything really would help. Their parents are surely no help. The dad is a drunk who really cares but unfortunately spends half his time in bars wasting away his earnings. And the mom is the one who's always on her feet trying get things together, trying to feed her kids, trying to get her husband to pull it together. Neither parents has the time or ability to present good morals and values or the opportunities for their children to be educated. Many examples of this are seen in the story:
Example 1: Malachy asked what a goat was, along with a cow, and other farm animals while they were walking by a farm. The father (Malachy also) got frustrated at finding a way to answer questions. It's like teaching someone to learn a language when they're not an infant or have another language to base it on. Like how would anyone explain the word: To? It's a little more difficult.
Example 2: Malachy and the boys, Frank included were surprised when eating a banana because they had never had one before. They even started eating the peel until someone embarrassingly enough told them not to.
Example 3: One of the boys woke up in the middle of the night having to use the bathroom and the father said to use the chamber pot. However, the child did not know what that was. Not very many people do in general- it's not that unusual, but at the time this book was written it wasn't a rare thing to find in people's homes.
From these examples, we see that simple things that we all know and take for granted are not known and have just been introduced to these boys. This is the most saddest part of the book- the lack of education.

Family Doesn't Care
The McCourts are having a terrible time making ends meet. They moved back to Ireland, their native land, from America in hopes of living a better life. But that absolutely changed nothing. Except the fact that they were faced with an even more brutal reality- the idea that family can be non supportive.
Neither side of Angela or Malachy (the dad)'s families showed a true sincerity in their aid. They groaned and complained about how they had to pick up the mess and how it's always them. The families were cold and bitter even to the sweet children. The strangers back in America had seemed nicer. Instead of judging and helping they whined about how it was their fault that they needed help in the first place. But I think that instead of doing that they should have helped without any wagging of fingers and long lectures. Their children are crying and dying of starvation! They should care enough to eliminate the root problem- Malachy's drinking problem- or in some way help that. It is ironic because when the McCourts first arrive in Ireland, they asked directions to Malachy's parents' house and they talk to a priest. And the priest says: "Ah yes. The McCourts are a fine, good Catholic family." But truthfully, they're not.

Movie Wondering...
In Angela's Ashes, the story itself is depressing and each page presents a whole new insight to the gloominess of the McCourt family's lives. I wonder if the movie adaptation will uphold this mood and this atmosphere which was so readily displayed in the story. I also wonder whether it will capture the essence of their struggles or whether it will just present the series of events and nothing more, hoping that in itself will bring the story to life.
In Angela's Ashes, the supporting details and intricate moments of these boys' lives prove their strive for survival. It proves the lowest form of poverty and strife exist even in what we consider to be developed countries. Their story takes place in Ireland and America- neither of which brings the family any luck financially. Hopefully, the film adaptation I will watch later on will draw details from the book I read, like for example:
When Malachy and his family came back to Ireland, he asked: "What are cows?" And his father was wondering how to answer such a question that he simply answered: "Cows are cows, son."
This snippet of dialouge showed the lack of experience and knowledge of these boys because of their poor lifestyle. Another time, the boys didn't know what a banana was so they had started eating it without peeling it. These what may appear to be small details, actually contribute to the whole picture, the whole story. I hope such subtle yet important touches will not be left out of the movie.
