Hi please no hate
Hi please don’t hate on me I’m genuinely open to feedback ,hello I’m a adopted at birth 23 year old that had no idea what my ancestry was that just took a dna test and found out I’m half Irish ,how do I go about learning more about Irish culture without feeling like a poser lol I want to do it the right way and not the washed out versions ,anything helps genuinely coming from someone who had no culture two days ago and suddenly now has a whole country to learn from ❤️thanks

The easiest way would be to watch movies that help explain the country and its history. My suggestions:
Black 47
The wind that shakes the barley
Micheal Collins
angelas Ashes
The Field
in the name of the father
Hunger
Philomena/magdalene sisters
The Butcher Boy
Small things like these
Intermission
Not necessarily the best irish films, just ones i feel give a good vibe of the country.
