Surname	2	2		A third party free program that uses US Census data to create an algorithm that analyzes surnames and guesses what ethnicity the person is. Obviously there are issues with this data set such as African Americans who have the last names of their ancestors' slave owner. However, when no other data set is available, this can give a rough estimate and expand the data pool for the less important cast members with no IMDb or TMDb image. Please consider downloading their source code via GitHub to verify the accuracy of our data set, and to peer review our conclusions. Source: https://pypi.org/project/ethnicolr/
Ethnic	1	1		This is the most reliable data source for accurate ethnic breakdowns of famous people. Often the information is crowdsourced by users and they cite all their sources (family trees, obituaries, census archives, etc.) on the bottom of the page. The only issue is converting their ambiguous and inconsistent verdicts into quantifiable variables. Source: https://ethnicelebs.com/

IMDb Rating https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052722/parentalguide last updated: 2024-05-28Update data
Violence Mild	A man is struck over the head and knocked unconscious. No injuries are shown. A girl falls over a cliff. She is implied to be gravely injured, but no injuries are visible. Two men engage in a fistfight. One is knocked unconscious. Again, no injuries are shown.
Profanity None	None.
Alcohol Mild	Darby and King Brian spend a night drinking together. King Brian becomes visibly intoxicated, although this is played for laughs. Several scenes take place in a village pub, where the locals are seen drinking and smoking pipes. Darby's excuse to return to the human world is that he came back for his pipe. Darby orders a drink of the finest whiskey at the pub. He places it in a sack (containing King Brian). Soon the glass is tossed, empty, from the top of the sack.
Frightening Moderate	Climax of film involves a character being threatened by wailing, ghostly banshees and a "Death Coach" that comes out of the sky driven by a headless spirit. This climax is somewhat legendary for its frightening nature. Sensitive children should not watch.
Commonsensemedia Rating https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/darby-ogill-and-the-little-people last updated: 2024-05-28Update data
Message 1/5	Celebrates the wit of the Irish and Irish culture.
Role model 1/5	Janet Munro's character, Katie, is assertive and doesn't wait for the boy she likes to ask her out.
Violence 3/5	A moaning banshee, harbinger of death, and the Costa Bower, the death coach, make a short, shivery appearance. Some violence, mostly off-screen. The heroine swipes the hero's cheek, leaving a mark. Two men get into a pub fight, with fists and a broken bottle. Lead character falls backward into a well. Villain knocks out a main character, and pours whiskey all over him to make him look as if he's passed out from excessive drinking. A character threatens to throw another into the water "like a kitten."
Sex 1/5	Some kissing.
Drugs 3/5	Many scenes take place in a village pub where, over pints of stout and glasses of whiskey, Darby spins tall tales to his friends and enemies. One scene relies on the leprechaun king getting drunk -- Darby and King Brian engage in a drinking contest that goes back and forth for dozens of rounds. At the pub, Darby passes along glasses of whiskey to King Brian while he's trapped inside a sack. Pipe smoking. One character offers another a pinch of snuff.

Review Title

Rating*

Rating is just the typical 5 star rating you'd give the film like you'd see on any other review site.

Support*

Support is a boycott suggestion and is meant to be a way for us to consolidate our efforts in “voting with our dollars.” Obviously, Hollywood has proven that they will sacrifice profits for the sake of their agenda, but they’re not as monolithic as you’d think. And people still respond to incentives.

So the 3 options are:

Pay to watch:

This movie is worth your time, and you should support the creators financially so we get more content like it.

Watch it AND give them money.

Watch if free:

The show is entertaining, but you shouldn’t reward the creators for whatever reason. Perhaps you don't want to support preachy celebs who hate their fans. Or maybe you enjoy superhero movies and nostalgia bait, but don't want to encourage Hollywood to continue making them in such a high ratio.

That’s when you’d click the “Watch Now” button and choose from one of the “Free” links:

( Use at your own risk. ZeitgeistReviews does not endorse any of the links and we don’t condone piracy. And we definitely discourage you from using this Reddit thread that shows you all of the places to pirate movies & tv. )

Watch it BUT don’t give them money.

Skip it:

This means the movie wasn’t even worth your time. Maybe it's so full of Woke crap that you’ll want to pull your hair out half way through. Or it could simply just be a piece of s**t, and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Don’t watch it AND don’t give them money.

( Note: We have expanded our site from just TV & Movies. Now we have games and will add music/books/etc. So the wording might change but the sentiment is still the same for every "Support" section. )

Review text*

Note: Please wrap spoilers [spoiler] like this. [/spoiler]

Neo-Marxism

Neo-Marxism, (sometimes referred to as "Cultural Marxism"), rates the amount of fanatic egalitarianism in a film. Consider this mainly a rating for anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist themes.

Feminism

Strong and multidimensional female characters are fine. This is mainly referring to girlboss crap, unrealistic Mary Sue content, and/or egregious scenes of manhood being disparaged.

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action rates how much "diversity" is being pushed. ( Not true diversity, but the anti-White checklist kind.)

Gay Stuff

Gay Stuff rates the amount of non-tradional sexuality depicted.

Fedora Tipping

Fedora Tipping rates the amount of atheism / Scientism™ in a film.
