I'm not easily impressed but this movie ranks in my top 10 of all time. I studied the war of independence and civil war yrs ago and this production comes closer to the reality of ireland's savage situation in 1920 -22 than anything I've seen.
Interesting.... Teddy talks about "taking this town from the British with force" (or similar such words). Did the Irish Nationalists actually manage to seize a town during the Independence War and hold it? I'm curious about that - I've studied the conflict and I'm not actually aware of that happening. Could be wrong though. Anyone here with any more info'??
I agree, fantastic film...although I was a little dissapointed in the final scene. The brother's reaction to the final act ( dont want to be a spoiler to anyone who hasnt seen it) was rather poor. A little devoid of emotion, Ive seen people more upset over a broken nail. But thats just 1 minute out of what is otherwise, a fantabulous film.
