This role was envisioned for Denzel Washington. He’s been on the force for 30 years, and is now commissioner. He’s seasoned and has seen everything in this business and comes off as cynical, even though he really cares.

This bartender, as you will later find out, is named Jen. I’m thinking of Jennifer Lawrence. I would like to flesh out her character a bit more. She works 10 hour shifts each day of the week at the bar and does anything to put food on the table for her family. However, she might know more than she’s leading others on to believe in terms of what happens in this particular scene.

A role I envisioned for Gerard Butler. As you will find out, Jerry was fired or just flat out quit his job this same day, which may or may not have led to what will happen soon.

A role I see for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. As you’ll see, I write characters with certain actors in mind. It helps me visualize how they talk, act, and move, their likes, dislikes, and whole personality. So, I named each character by a certain actor/actress' first name or nickname.
Joe is an ESPN insider, but his role to the story is that he is Jerry’s best friend. As you will later find out, he’s also interested in Jerry’s sister Mila.

This is referring to constant bloodshed, not only in Ireland, but around the world and how immune we really are to it in our own little worlds.

“Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die” is a classic expression of hedonism, generally used critically against hedonists. It appears in various forms in three places in the Bible:

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 8:15)

And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. (Isaiah 22:13)

If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. (1 Corinthians 15:32)

The band is again criticizing people’s complacence in not doing something about the Troubles: We don’t have to die tomorrow, but if we let things go the way they have been, if we neglect the problems around us, if we abandon ourselves to pleasure, many people are going to die.

Both their lives are not going too well – we later find out this is due to heroin addiction.

The song can be seen as a more general commentary of the problems faced by Dublin’s working classes, because the lyrics are not particularly explicit, so this line can be interpreted as being about other problems, such as poverty, mental illness, or crime.

This whole verse really brings the message home. It’s another antiwar song that demands peace. It shows how much weapons can really harm people and how guns have now advanced to weapons of mass destruction.

This line refers to the Salvadoran refugees seeking asylum, ironically, in the very country fomenting war and violence in their homeland.
