  • Once, England will bleed for this, oh yes, it will

  • Ned Broy wasn't killed and Pearce surrendered to Gen Maxwell the next day, alone, not surrounded by the others, this is another myth in this film. I guess the Brits were pissed they let Mick out of 'Frognoch'

  • Also Dev was never at the GPO in 1916, he was at the 'Jacobs Factory' over at Peter's Row and yet lo and behold he's with the 'Big' man at the GPO- another fabrication-but that's Hollywood for yer.

  • Comment removed

  • Ok film, nowhere in the same class as the 'Wind that Shakes the Barley' and some events Jordan just completely fabricated, like the attack in Croke Park, the 'Tans' were looking for Shinners in the crowd, they never drove a tank in and started shooting people-that is a complete lie and this film suffers from such falsehoods, that said I thought Neeson was the only good thing in this movie, Rickman as Dev was excrutiationg and J Roberts, where do you begin, utter shite and was not needed at all!!

  • Still I will purchase the Movie... to make sure The maker have enough found to make an other truth telling movie...

  • FUCK YEAH LIAM NEESON

  • Occupation. It ruins a people and its culture. The U.K. and the U.S. believe they are so good at occupying other nations and people. One day they will see they are not up against primitive tribes as the American Indians - but with weapons that match their own. THEN perhaps Occupations will stop. "You can walk on my land, you can work my land, you can raise your families on my land - but it will always be my land."

  • @resculptit or, in simpler terms, "GET OFF MY LAWN!!!".

  • A man on a mission,"FREEDOM TO GOVERN OUR OWN DESTINY" then just as that goal was in sight he is "MURDERED"by his own people.A "GREAT PATRIOT"of Irish history he fought for his "BELIEVES"and died a "GREAT MAN".What a waste of his life by "TRAITORS". Excellent Film,

  • Only the good die young. Great movie

  • good film, r.i.p Michael Collins

  • very nice movie

  • @kevinwalsh1619 ok but killing jews. dragging bankers out onto the street and shooting them and deporting black people isnt on my or anyone i knows diary for this week ?

  • @MRWALKER500000 Then before you are old enough to die of natural causes, you will be a minority in your own country, a minority not just as an Irishman, but as a white man. You may well see real "sectarian troubles," only they won't involve Catholics and Protestants, rather Hindu v. Muslim. You will inherit a third world shithole, and all because you wouldn't resist perils to your nation in the name of "just getting along."

    

  • Are ye going to stop stopping fucking shite on the comment section and let people watch the fucking film????

  • @SenseOfRock And just how does submitting material on the comments section prevent people from watching the film? It seems to me that the comments section is here for a reason. Is it supposed to be antisocial to comment in the comments section?

  • @kevinwalsh1619 now i know i sound like an arrogant pratt if i said this but explain the obstacles that we face. for the record i see nothing wrong with a united state. just make sure martin mcgujnness is in some ditch

  • @MRWALKER500000 Overthrow capitalism and imperialism. Kill all the Jews. Expel from Ireland anyone who isn't white. Those obstacles will keep you busy for a while.

  • @kevinwalsh1619 hey curt fucking cobain just look. War isnt some fucking romantic crusade it is a place where people are killed stone dead without the bloody where eagles dare or call of duty theme song

  • @MRWALKER500000 No one that I'm aware of said or implied otherwise. Nonetheless, we can't all just get along.

  • Is it me or can you see the bullet holes in the footballer's shirt before he gets shot?

  • ...so seriously folks, get over it. We don't need to turn a simple movie into a political grassroots discussion, nor do we have to still have to wave the same flags as our ancestors did back in the early 20th century. The war with the British is over.

    Lets get over it, after all we have the people right here in the south, who sell us out to Berlin and Paris more and more by the week.

    So lets just watch the movie and keep the belated patriotic shite for the pub after the 5th pint.

  • @knubbelkeks69 Not everybody who objects to treason consumes alcohol or frequents pubs. Indeed, sobriety is more conducive to such discussions. If you just want to watch the film, nobody is forcing you to even look at the comment section.

  • @kevinwalsh1619 O...k. So acts of treason, uhhh. Sorry but ... if you wish to commit acts of treason these days you'll have to do so in Berlin, Paris or Brussels. they are a much bigger threat to Irish sovereignty than any Englishmen. There are two kind of people. Those who see both sides of an argument, of a possible position etc, and then there are those who deal in absolutes. Judging by your other comments on here, well ... you figure it out ;)

    Wake up and smell the 21st century.

  • @knubbelkeks69 I never said Englishmen were a threat to Irish sovereignty. On the contrary, most Englishmen are victims of the same imperialist forces as the Irish. As to the EU, it is also a manifestation of imperialist power to be resisted. This does not excuse what Michael Collins did, nor does it excuse films promoting Michael Collins.

  • Not having the Euro, having a more stable economy, you think if a referendum were to be held the majority of Northern Irish would vote to join us down here in the south? I seriously doubt it! And besides ... reunification is more than overrated, look what happened (in terms of social security etc) to Germany since the late 80s. But then again, if such a referendum would have any other outcome than 100% saying "YES " the wannabe patriots would scream that the vote was rigged....

  • @kevinwalsh1619 look but cant we all just fookin get along. its silly this conflict we have between us. cant we just put it to bed?

  • @MRWALKER500000 No, Rodney King, we can't all just get along. Class and national struggles are real.

  • This is a shameful film that tries to justify treason and defeatism. Regretably de Valera chose the same path in 1937 when he outlawed the IRA.

  • @kevinwalsh1619 they were showing the fickle nature of the heads of the ira let the young die while and let the likes michael collins die and we'll survive and run the country and make money they showed both noble and shameful side of humans i tink man

  • @VanHelsing77783643 Michael Collins was one of the traitors. He sided with the British to enforce their wretched treaty. He had it coming, and this film glorifies him.

  • I'm english and I hate what we did to Ireland. we slaughtered thousands of innocent people and then covered it up.

  • @turkeypue Hate the imperialist grand-bourgeoisie. It was they who did it. The ordinary English people have suffered at least as much as the Irish for these policies.

    

  • I looked it up, I was right. He does play Snape!

  • I could swear Eamon is played by the same guy who plays Severus Snape. Does he?

  • @KingCeltic77 Yes, it's alan rickman

  • cant we just watch the movie without getting into a fucking debate

  • @MRWALKER500000 If this were a movie about Mark Antony or Alexander the Great, maybe, but the issues are relevant today. Art is propaganda, and this film is no exception. It spreads incorrect ideas, and those must be combatted.

  • Julia Roberts is AWFUL in this film. She doesn't even WORK or devote any authentic effort to the dialect nor is truly interested in the history of the Irish fight against British rule. She only accepted the role to further her career AND NOT for a heartfelt intention to this courageous story. I can also bet that she STILL did not have a clue as to who the TRUE Michael Collins is. I skip the parts where she is shown. It is so obvious that her presence was used to bring in box office money.

  • This would have been an even greater film WITHOUT Julia Roberts. This was the fault and pressure of poor casting choice for Julia Roberts. EVERYONE else is PERFECT. SHE does not fit and she is lost in this film. She is too PLASTIC for a crafted time piece. According to reviewer why this film did not succeed (and was explained carefully to prevent Hollywood politics) was due to the Julia Roberts obsession at that time. KATE WINSLET should have been the MAIN CHOICE! It would have been different.

  • Britain, the Rothschilds attack dogs, the Gentile Army for Global Jewish oppression.

  • i meant at 1hr 6 min

  • @ 1:06 what was the point in fireing on the crowd? To show them that killing British officers would have the public punished

  • do**

  • what Michael Collins did for us is now crumbling away as our so called goverment has ireland's back broke. from borrowing all we get is cut backs but i ashure you all. that there money is not cut back and its us irish that will suffer. give it time and we will be ruled by an other state if this borrowing continuse unless the irish people wake up and face facts.and so something about it

  • @spiderpig8441 I am so very sorry about this. I am not a citizen or blood related to the Irish,however, I privately support them. American Irish have lost the understanding to continue this fight based on materialism and typical miseducation of American ways. True Irish has a humble root to the fight & KNOW who they are. American Irish , w/ exception for few, have denied their culture. To the Irish, include non-Irish for your plight to make powerful your domination for your country.

  • De Valera was spot on with his quote just before the closing credits visit Glasnevin Cemetery and you can see the difference in public oppinion by looking at both graves, Collins' is constantly covered in flowers while De Valera's looks no different to any other, what a shame to see all those good Irish men die to free our country only for it to be run into the ground by the greedy capitalist scumbags that now pass as Irish politicians.

  • Whos da kid at 1:52:30? Da actor i mean.

  • @shanesmurph Johnathan Rhys Meyers

  • @fatparrot96 @lennox @Hornet0biker exactly!!!! I totally agree

  • Opening title incorrect, not 700 years of 'BRITISH' rule, it was 'ENGLISH' rule, the British state was only formed in 1707

  • Dear God, why didn't you let me to be born as an Irish?

  • It had to be by an effeminate smirking pointy faced child dinnit.

  • MAKES ME PROUD TO BE HALF IRISH/MEXICAN. I WILL DIE FOR MY IRISH BLOOD,

  • @TheTleary55 ILL PUT MORE IRISH IN YOU!!!! MAKE YOU REALLY PROUD... YOU SOUND SOOO FUCKEN STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @purple935 No one wants to DIE.We fight to LIVE. Not to die. I believe that folks misunderstand that any leader who has happened to die for a cause, certainly did not do so with this goal in mind. THEY even know what good would it be to "die" if your voice is quenched from those who need to KNOW the reason to fight. Soldiers do not go to war with the intent to die. They know the risk, but not to die. Those who set themselves up to die murder those who follow the fight. The point is missed.

  • @kittyscratchesboo That is incorrect. Sometimes people set themselves up to die to take out the enemy. There were Chinese soldiers who carried dynamite sticks to Japanese tanks knowing it would result in their own deaths, because they had no other anti-armour weapons. In more recent times, there have been people in Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan who have given their lives with certainty to take out the enemy.

  • @TheTleary55 LIVE for your Irish blood. What good would you be DEAD to the cause. The point is to fight to LIVE a Quality exisistance, not to die in the name of it. LIVE in the name of your Blood. Christ died for all of what you are fighting for, NOW it is YOUR turn to live for better treatment & quality of LIFE. Collins did not want to DIE. Collins died for the fight. He's main objective was to accomplish a better way of life.

  • potato

    

  • Top 'o da mornin to ya.

    Let's listen to limericks and Clannad and DeValera blaming the Jews.

    5 years after leaving the British Empire more than 80% of the newly independent Irish wished to rejoin.

  • @fatparrot66 What horseshit.

  • @fatparrot66 What are you saying. Why don't we GROW up and STOP blaming another RACE for things that we should take responsibility for. No one , ever, of ANY race , has a spotless record. Not one. KNOW what you are saying and back up your points instead of blowing your ass in the wind. Entire countries LOSE due to this type of rhetoric. WE lose when we inject racist propoganda. Even those who "win" via unjust means. EVERYONE loses. The key is in uniting not division or passing the cow.

  • Great movie. Thanks for the upload.

  • Great movie

  • @Hornet0biker @lennox679  Ah piss off

  • @pauliewalnuts100 Sometimes the simplest three words speak the loudest and is painfully true. Perhaps if some folks would take ONE class in British or Irish history oR even read a Library book about their history, they may actually figure out how to think.

  • what a load of shit

  • @lennox679 Yes you are

  • thanks mate for uploading this :D

  • He wasn't the only person to die in the Irish Civil war. Loads of people did. But since this film is about the life of michael collins,it only showed his death

  • @Roisin2kaii10 IT SHOWS HOW FUCKIN DUMB THE IRISH ARE FALLING FOR ENGLISH CUNNING, DIVIDE AND RULE THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK. THEY WERE DOING IT IN IRAQ. SAS MEN RUNNING AROUND DRESSED AS ARAB SHOOTING SUNNIS AND SHYTES. AND OBAMA TRYING TO SPIL AFGANASTAN OVER INTO PAKISTAN. ITS A WAY OF BACKIN OUT WITH TO GUNS IN SHOW. THEN YOUR NOT IN THE FIGHT AS  MUCH OR ANYMORE

  • @annabatarowicz were the fucking dumb cunts? Your the complete retard who can't even take off the caps lock! The english weren't cunning. They came into our land and slaughtered our men, women and children. So i do admire your hate for the british but please go fuck off some where else. Thank you.

  • @Roisin2kaii10 See that is the problem right there. When folks like the one you are speaking to have no idea of what horrors truly are in the history in the lives of others. They often want to digress a reason for atrocities burdened against others. It terrifies people when innocents are slain for egoist glory. What she is doing blaming the victim and this is a typical "learned" Western approach towards dealing with horrible outcomes. War is Hell. If she faced such, her words would be few.

  • @annabatarowicz Get a thinking cap on girl! What are you saying and why on earth are your screaming at us for? People are DUMB when they miss the point. The Irish knew WHY they were fighting (unlike this modern generation). What you are saying has no strength of developed understanding or even a spot or kernal of true ponderance of how you arrive to this conclusion. Calm down & read some authentic material b4 foaming at the mouth. Use this forum to teach & inspire. Stop being like everyone else

  • @Roisin2kaii10 He is referring to Beal Na Blath not the whole fucking civilwar for fuck sake

  • i cannot understand how come he was the only one who's killed. there were many people, noone was hurted but him... i don't like conspiracy therories at all but i'm still wondering....

  • @fidemservare: Please clarify your point - I think you're trying to make some sort of point about Collins' death but I'm not sure what it is.....

  • Another Great Film

  • Great vid
