HUNGER Official Trailer 2008

[wemorris1001]

I am very much looking forward to watching this film.

[OmniaOo]

you can't eat popcorn while watching this movie..

[perfectaussiepizza]

is this the movie where they get taken and they wake up and they have 30 days of water and a surgical knife?

[kiwirobt]

@perfectaussiepizza that movie is THE HUNGER, not just HUNGER

[skilful21]

Micheal Fassbender is the most gorgeous man alive.

[coverscopyer]

why wont they eat?

[Thewonkandfriends]

Fucking hell, even the trailer is pure art.

[yoshy321]

This film was incredible. 

[1185duncan]

are there realy movies cus i cant find them

[ColourblindKisses]

Just watched this last night, and I can honestly say it's the most incredible film I have ever see.

[Bozzytotem]

is the book lies already out?

[123philhenderson]

can anyone tell me where i can find the whole video?

[papercut272]

im sorry, this trailer is fucking horrible

but they movie is good :P

[8609751]

i dont even get this fucking trailer

[llothar68]

Love the IRA, hope they come back and fuck the british banksters.

[TheSIKKS66]

@llothar68 That doesn't even make sense...

[victorhv23]

FUCK ENGLAND, THEY HAVE FUCKED HALF OF THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.

[whiteheartmovies]

S.McQueen’s film is a cinematic masterpiece; enthralling, visual and thought provoking, however it is a one-sided story. The film doesn’t explore the reason why Bobby Sands was imprisoned; his involvement in the Oct 1976 Bombing of a shopping area where 10 ppl died including a 14 yld boy +130 injured. As an active freedom fighter / terrorist, the film would have been more credible if it juxtaposed his self-inflicted brutalism with the pain and suffering he inflicted on his victims.

[antoireland09]

@whiteheartmovies we won this war by any means necessary. look at iraq and the 10's of thousands of INNOCENTS slaughtered by the terrorising british occupiers. people in glass houses shouldnt....

[whiteheartmovies]

@antoireland09 My comment was about MY perception of the film (which I enjoyed) and pointed out how it neglected to give the full profile of Bobby Sands, rending the sentiment of his character grossly unbalanced.

Imagine an empathic biopic about an Ulster ‘terrorist/freedom fighter’ where they showed his tribulations of brutal punishment but didn’t explain his atrocities. Would that be balanced?

British solders in Iraq? irrelevant to my comment . No stones were thrown from MY hand.

[antoireland09]

@whiteheartmovies "his involvement in the Oct 1976 Bombing of a shopping area where 10 ppl died including a 14 yld boy +130 injured". You clearly mentioned that to criticize the person and the war rather than the movie. The movie is called HUNGER , not causulties of war.

[whiteheartmovies]

@antoireland09 Yes, I clearly mentioned what he was involved in because the FILM didn’t... that was my point! The FILM doesn’t portray a balanced picture of the man or the hatred towards him, I’m criticising the FILM!

Again, I ask you if you watched a film about ‘any’ prisoner and they didn’t touch on any of his brutal crimes/killings, would you think that was a balanced FILM?

“Hunger” is the title because its about his ‘choice’ of protest method. The film didn’t mention ‘war’, you did.

[logan1776]

@whiteheartmovies You make a good point but here is why it is not credible. Whenever you see any report of the troubles or whenever you have a panel of loyalist leaders and republicans in the brit media it is always the REPUBLICAN point of view that is made to defend itself. Any conversation with Gerry Adams begins with the host demanding he reounce violence but the same burden is NOT placed on loyalists. I can easily counter your point by asking what of the violence commited by brit forces?

[logan1776]

@whiteheartmovies And what of the the pain and suffering the brit and loyalist forces have inflicted on the Republican community? Why not ask all british soldiers to get on thier knees and beg forgiveness for all the evil they have committed against innocent men and women in Ireland and across the world? Like it or not this movie shows a truly human element of a man whose position is that he is a soldier in a war. This a film from the perspective of a Man fighting that war .

[NiicoleCullen]

Whats this film about? I got told it was a horror about starving men in a Irish prison but then I also got told it was about some crimelord and other stories. Can someone please tell me? I like to know the basics before I watch it

[TheESCALADO]

@NiicoleCullen It's about cowardly Catholic terrorists, who rather than behave with any human decency, spent months in prison talking rubbish, and smearing their own faeces over the walls. After finally realising the futility of their insane protests they were instructed by Gerry Adams to starve themselves to death.

A film about SHIT & COWARDICE.

[NiicoleCullen]

@TheESCALADO Thanks for telling me. now i wont have to waste 2 or so hours of my life on it.

[captainchaos90]

@NiicoleCullen Escalado doesn't know what he's talking about. It's a masterpiece of film making if you care at all about movies and people.

[captainchaos90]

@TheESCALADO You must be from England. Shit and cowardice? Because the English didn't enslave the Irish to pieces, right? Because the Irish had no reason what so ever to fight back, correct?

Also besides that:

Whether or not you agree with the actions of the IRA, it's unreasonable to trash a beautifully made film that a lot of people worked very hard on to produce, Mr. Escalado.

[boyleb1]

@TheESCALADO rather, a film about actions that still haunt and disgust you, all these years later, just like they were meant to.

[logan1776]

@TheESCALADO as opposed to the heroic loyalist and brit forces who have murdered more innocent people in NI than republican forces by a measure of 10 to 1?

[logan1776]

@NiicoleCullen Hunger is about the late great Bobby Sands a true hero

[sxephlI]

is this foreign? its just theres no dialog n the trailer?

[boyleb1]

I am a political prisoner. I refuse to wear a criminals uniform!

[Biancacatartica]

god bless Bobby Sands

[reelreignfilms]

Stunning film. This should have won at the Celtic Media Fest. After the weekend everyone will see why. Stay tuned for the biggest ruffling of feathers event in the Scottish Film Industry. Fevered egos have been running wild over here in Glasgow. Certain people believe they can launch themselves off the back of other peoples scripts. Sticking feathers up your arse does not make you a chicken but they are definitely coming home to roost.

[neilharrison95]

weather u like it or not Bobby Sands was a criminal. He and his organisation killed hundreads of completely innocent protestands and in fact Catholics never mind the many members of the security forces. He was a criminal that's why he was in the jail and that is why he is not a so called political prisinor and therefore he died for nothing and he tricked other Ira men into following the same fate he did.

[logan1776]

@neilharrison95 So are the brit and loyalist forces, who have killed more inncoent people than the IRA ever wil are they criminals as well?

[Johcelynable]

This move is fantastic! I totally love the pictures and the history is very heartrending. One of the best movies I have seen. This is a pure masterpiece.

[godsaway0]

@twiggo66 you, of low intelligence albeit physical citizen of Britain, share the same genetic heritage as the Irish. Composing some sort of argument otherwise just reinforces some stupid archetype ideology. But, you are more than likely proud of being deceptively stupid. Sorry to fill up your email box with letters other than porn spam and UFC updates.

[arsydb]

watched it yesterday. and I can say this is the best I've seen for a while. Cold, expressive, deep, artistic, without cheep politics, pathetic and taking sides. Pure masterpiece. Hats off McQueen from Croatia.

[godsaway0]

@arsydb Thank you for the choice in subjective adjectives, I was worried I would not know what to think. OH boy.

[iluvgreenday246]

And of course there has to be a massive arguement about things people probably don't even understand fully in the comments section...

[intothenebula]

if anything it was perceived as being pro-ira. although, like i said before, Hunger really isnt pro anything. its just a realistic portrayal of Bobby Sands last weeks.

[ElRancholo2]

Is this movie more of a pro-IRA slant or a pro-British slant? I am considering renting it but want to know how it is received by both groups first.

[intothenebula]

@ElRancholo2 From my experience, going into a film without knowing how it has been recieved by others is the best way to truly see it for what it is. This film especially deserves to be seen somewhat outside of all of the politics surrounding its subject.I didnt see a pro IRA or british slant. It seemed as though Hunger's only slant was pro-human rights, anti-sectarian violence.

[ElRancholo2]

I appreciate the comment but I just don;t want to watch an anti-IRA propaganda piece

[killzonephx]

dont worry the movie doesnt take sides, trust me. watch it, its a great movie.

[godsaway0]

@ElRancholo2 oh, I should have waited, sorry, TOOL! A perspective too much aye?

[godsaway0]

@ElRancholo2 tool, what a tool. Make your own choice.

[ourdaywillcome85]

It has now become apparent that you have the mental capacity of a 12 year old. Unless you have anything worthwhile to say i really couldnt be fucked responding, you have bored me with your sad pathetic rambling.

[ourdaywillcome85]

Aye well at least they will probably know who there dads are, unlike the rats that the slappers over there fire out on a regular basis. If anybody needs to take care of breeding problems, its your lot.

[ourdaywillcome85]

Strange that because im pretty sure it was your bunch of dole monkeys that where on the upper tier protected by a line of Gardai stopping any Irish fans getting near ya's. Dont worry, you wont be able to throw seats at children below you next time, apparently the FAI are going to put 'an idiots guide for proper seat use' on each seat an english monkey gets.

[ourdaywillcome85]

I couldnt give a fuck to be honest. The next time england set foot on Irish soil is a day many people are looking foward to, hopefully we can add a few more to the number of body bags that gets shipped back to your shit hole country.

[tokiohotelwhore13]

you are the only person looking forward to that day

[theboss2432]

RIP Bobby Sands, God bless you

[ourdaywillcome85]

Im glad you think so, because if thats true, then you will get your arses handed back to you, yet again.

Hilarious was it? I didnt realise you were there!

So you are a xenophob and a racist? Your a sad little man arent you. Have you not realised that its this attitude that is to blame for the fact the majority of the world hates you? And that every body bag that gets shipped back to your shit hole country is welcomed with a smile on millions of faces?

[JackieIzsoFlye]

So much hostility.

[ourdaywillcome85]

What famine? Ireland has never had a famine. If you are referring to what happened between 1845 - 1850, then it is actually called Genocide. Maybe you should go and educate yourself before you make an arse of yourself again.

Oh, and how many brit body bags have come back from Iraq and Afghanistan this month? Well, whatever it is, good riddance.

Love live the Irish, the Iraqi's and the Afghan's.

[ourdaywillcome85]

Hand it back?  Haha, your are saying that as if you own it! Im afraid you dont, you are a foreign invasion occupying land, just like in Iraq. Regardless of when Ireland gets reunification, it will not be your choice.

[Paddy234]

How many today would support the current republican movement or what the brits now call the dissidents

[theboss2432]

die u dirty scum brit bastard

[theboss2432]

fuck this talking and bullshit peace process,theres only one thing the brits understand

[ourdaywillcome85]

I doubt it, at the very least it will be in my lifetime, and you can bet yourself the whole of Ireland will be celebrating and pissing on the union jack.

What famine? Ireland never had a famine. Away and read a book you brit twat.

[JohnnyCash08]

"There is no such thing as political murder, political bombing or political violence. There is only criminal murder, criminal bombing and criminal violence. We will not compromise on this. There will be no political status." - Margaret Thatcher still owns all of you lefties =)

[JmufucknM]

good flick. irie, violent, profound. amazing acting.

[0341dog]

Watched Hunger last night! The starvation scenes werent preety! The movie stated that 10 men died from the hunger strike and that 16 prison guards were murdered by paramilitaries also during this time! Was the will of Bobby Sands greater than that of the leadership of the IRA? It seems that the level of comittment was different and perhaps it still is!

[no1zgrl4eva]

THis movie was extremely violent and graphic. I think Steve McQueen did a fantastic job at showing the inhumane, merciless conditions that these poor men experienced. On a larger scale it depicted the apathy and coldness of Margaret Thatcher, may this all come back to torment her soul forever.

[HerxUtub]

The current arrangement on the Irish island is fine as isand just to both sides. The counties in the United Kingdom should remain in the Kingdom. Any attempt to annex the counties without the consent of the population is unjust and would be a very stupid thing to try to do.

[sniperlink05]

its still occupation... IRISHMEN deserve to be free to determine their own future without the influence of a foreign monarch!!!!!!!

[kraigus]

and what about the people of northern ireland who want to stay part of the uk?

do you plan on murdering all dissent like your glorious ira?

fuck off and grow up.

[kraigus]

seconded.

[ourdaywillcome85]

I live in the occupied six counties, and will never answer to a foreign government. My government is in Dublin and my country Ireland. The British stole the occupied six counties, so it would be far from unjust to demand them back. Until they are given back, "Ireland unfree shall never be at peace".

[HerxUtub]

The British occupiers successfully occupied and held the land long enough now, that the earlier inhabitants no longer have ANY moral or legal claim to them. Those six counties belong to the British BY RIGHT, earned by their blood, sweat and tears.

You are a traitor. Northern Ireland - either love it or leave it. You deserve to be hunted down and killed like a dog. I will pay for the bullets.

[ourdaywillcome85]

You truely are an idiot. I have not heard so much moronic crap in a while, thanks for the giggle, i do enjoy laughing at the mentally challenged!

Nobody earns anything by right through invasion, occupation, persecution, or attempted genocide. Thats like saying you stole my car, but because you have had it for 800 minutes, its now rightfully yours, NO IT AINT, ITS STILL MINE, YOU JUST STOLE IT.

The Irish will NEVER stop until the Brits are removed.

Tiocfaidh ár lá

[HerxUtub]

To ourdaywillcome85: Ha ha, your day will NEVER come, barbarian!

[ourdaywillcome85]

Oh, and i am certainly not a traitor, i love my country, the ONLY country on this ISLAND, IRELAND. An illegal occupied state does not give you a country, its just an illegal occupied state. So get your facts right before you embarrass yourself again. And if you happen to be one of the plantation babarians ancestors, then take your boat back to Scotland, as the plantations are over, so go home.

Tiocfaidh ár lá

[daz1387]

you wont answer to a foreign goverment? your goverment is dublin? I don't think so.. Dublin's masters are now Brussels

[ourdaywillcome85]

Fair point. But if everyone knew what they were voting for during the referendum, you can be assured that it would have been a land slide NO vote. Just like the Copenhagen Treaty, the crooks pushing it are liars and traitors.

[ourdaywillcome85]

watched it, it was pretty poor. a few scenes where entertaining but too many pointless, unnecessery scenes added clearly to take up time. After watching this i wont be watching anything else steve mcqueen directs.

[Hirfel]

The film was minimalistic, slow, symbolic and atmospheric, not pointless.

[DanielBowden1975]

Finest British film in decades

[themightygers52]

he should'nt have died of a hunger strike.... i'd have starved the murderer anyway.

rot in hell bobby the wank

[1celt1]

Heros

[mccabedylan]

i seen this it was brilliant portraied what them men had to go through very well...its very good...

[spursloyal71]

I watched this and after 2 mins i was starving!

So i popped out and got meself a KFC then washed it down with a glass of coke !

wtf is there a better trailer than this one?

[88shottahz]

lol seriously....im about 2 buffer this movie stream...and b4 i started it...i came here 2 see wat it was about.....thnk god for utube

[intothenebula]

"sectarian murder gang"- sounds like propaganda the US government used to describe Iraqis after the *occupation* caused a *civil war*. does anyone really ever learn from history?

[nicebut670]

IRA coined that phrase to describe Loyalist terrorists but it describes themselves just as well.Most people in Northern Ireland want to stay in the UK.Leave them to decide their future through the ballot box and stop romanticising terrorists.

[jakaput]

"Most people", I come from eastern europe and I heard this alot, people want what they are told by their governements..

[dan32113]

I have catholic family in south, but what nicebut670 says is true, more people in North want to be British than don"t. that is statistical fact!

[logan1776]

what about the brit and loyalist terrorists who killed more children during the troubles by an 8 to 1 ratio?

[usblueflyer]

I'm an American.  Please don't abuse me. I am NOTmy government. I've been harassed in Spain, and spit upon in France. I AM NOT MY GOVERNMENT. Why not ASK me what I think and believe? Why torture ME as an individual? You don't know if I agree or disagree with those who are running "my" country. I'm a visitor who wants to see HISTORY! WE came from YOU! Remember?

[65CL]

I am sorry to hear that, but at least America is unlikely to go the way of Nazi Germany. Tha anti-German bias fuekded the rise to power of the Nazis then.

[lauder19]

This film was completely and utterly astounding.....if you take out the political aspect and watch it on the levels of humanity or lack of ,on a grand scale but microscopic platform it is a rare and haunting piece of film work

[TheLonelyImmortal]

This is not a trailer. Does ANYONE think that this actually tells people about this movie?!

[bwauchope01]

what a boring low budget film... however they sadly achieved nothing.. im Irish and my country is STILL occupied by the British..

[imatim1888]

all the english injustices in ireland are now showing up on the big screen,but the world knows of the terror they brought to ireland,they should hang their heads in shame,god bless bobby sands your spirit lives for ever in irish history.tiocfadh ar la

[nicebut670]

Bobby sands chose to commit suicide.The IRA's victims had no choice.All this pathetic drooling over psycopaths and murderers is sick.Try to remember all the innocent civilians slaughtered by the IRA.

[Bosco239]

Bobby Sands did not try to kill people, just members of the Armed Forces.

[nicebut670]

Bizzare comment ,soldiers are people .

[Bosco239]

nicebut670,

LOL,

Soldiers arn't people. Onec you agree to take a wage for carrying a weapon for a cause you don't understand or believe in, your no longer consider a person.

[nicebut670]

The IRa often referred to its terrorists as soldiers so Sands by your logic was not a person.How do you justify the IRA's murder of civilians,(over600 during the troubles)were they not people either?As I said before Sands and the other hunger strikers had achoice their victims didn't.

[Bosco239]

I totally agree. I have never supported the PIRAs armed strugle.

But I do have a great deal of respect for Sands. Sands never agrees with the murder of civilians. He only took shots at the RUC.

I may not agree with that, but I do understand why he believed that he had to.

[Bosco239]

And if you read my comment, because you clearly did not the first time I said "Onec you agree to take a WAGE for carrying a weapon for a cause you DON'T UNDERSTANT or BELIEVE in"

Most IRA did not take a wage.

Most believed in what they were doing.

I would not argue that most understood what they were fighting for as I do no belive that a United Ireland could be achieve with the gun.

A vote is all that will be need for the United Ireland.

[nicebut670]

I agree that voting is the way for aunited Ireland,but I think it is very arrogant of you think that soldiers and policemen didn't know or understand what they were fighting for.Soldiers and Police are answerable to democratically elected civilian government the IRA were answerable to nobody except themselves.I have no idea what Sands thought about killing civilians but he volunteered to join a sectarian murder gang so he wasn't that innocent.,though I do acknowledge his courage.

[nicebut670]

Interesting article in todays Sunday Times ,just released govt. files show that Thatcher was willing to make concessions but the IRA/Sinn Fein rejected them,presumeably because they thought the hunger strikers were worth more to the cause dead than alive.BTW I referred to the IRA as a sectarian murder gang as that is how Gerry Adams always(correctly)referred to Loyalist Paramilitaries,and I can't for the life of me see any moral distinction between the UVF and the IRA same coin different sides.

[logan1776]

I have heard of the possible betrayal by sinn fein of the brave h block warriors as well. what you are missing is that the mi5 was behind omagh and much of the violence blamed on republicans /google "steaknife" in reference to n ireland

[logan1776]

how do you justify the murders of children by the british and loyalist terrrorists outpacing the IRA by an 8 to 1 margin? people have a right to defend themselves tiocfaidh ar la

"They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then that we will see the rising of the moon."

"Our revenge will be the laughter of our children."

[oclandestin]

Everyone should see this film.

[Pythr]

Definitely!

[duckcheesybiscuits]

I've just been to see it and it's fucking amazing

[Xav28]

It released in Australian cinemas on Thursday November 6. I think it released in the UK on Oct 31.

[wattaniceass]

when is it out?

[jkatyt5]

Its looks quite depsite what the critics in the mirror have said!

[Xav28]

Thanks for your comment grahampaull. You might be better off looking up the trailer for Hannah Montana 3D.

[grahampaull]

Now why would i wanna watch Hannah Montana ?

Prick

[Xav28]

Judging on your comments I thought you must have been a 13 yr old girl. Sorry, shouldn't have assumed that.

[grahampaull]

Worst trailer ever, Piece of crap if ya ask me, Looks like a bollox film too

[Pythr]

Then, don't watch it, dude, and get a life.

[grahampaull]

Ill not be watching it, DUDE hahaha
