If someone or some force is robbing you of your freedom and dignity you have every right as a human being to react violently. This nonsense about turning the other cheek is just promoted because it keeps the people in power safe.
@duckdown1993 However I don't justify any kind of violence act that could happen at last in the recent history, like this one against anyone. Because I think that the violence is not the way, never will be.
the fact is northern ireland wuz once rich with minerals to mine, britain raped it and now has no use for it and would absolutely LOVE to give it back to ireland but the problem is there's so many protestants living there now and pledging their allegiance to the queen that the tables would just be reversed should the irish republic take over. u would have coffee shops in dublin, cork and limerick gettin bombed.
brilliant movie and im sorry but daniel day-lewis should have won the oscar for best actor, not tom hanks. tom hanks was great in philadephia but i think daniel day-lewis's performance was better
Agreed. One of the best uses of a song in the opening of a movie I've ever seen. Always gives me goosebumps. One of my favorite movies. R.I.P. Pete Postlewaite
im 14 so i obviously dont remeber the gillford bombings but ive read about and although they werent justified neither wee the birtish government to keep ireland form its people. we should have given it back before it got out of hand and the gillford 4 and maguire 7 would have been gree to live there lives!
@Fenellaaaaa Unfortunately it's not that simple. A lot of people fail to understand that the majority of people in northern Ireland do want it to remain part of the union (and separate from the rest of Ireland). We can't change the decisions that led to this rift we can only work to make a better future from where we are. Maybe one day the troubles will be so far behind us that Ireland could become a united country. Unfortunately that day is not today. The wounds are still to raw.
@LindenRyuujin i understand what your saying however when giving back part of ireland they made sure that the bit of northern ireland that they kept was big enough so that the birtish could keep ireland for themselves and still be in power. i am british and understand the history but we shouldn't have kept ireland to oursleves it should have been given back and we could have been alliances and still part of the union.
@Fenellaaaaa They didn't make sure of anything. The counties of Norther Ireland wanted to remain part of Britian (not the other way around). We certainly didn't "[Keep] ireland to ourselves." It would have been much eaiser (and much bloodier) to just abandon the whole country. Maybe one day when the troubles are just a memory Ireland could still become a single united country. But it wasn't possable at the hight of the troubles and it still isn't yet.
@LindenRyuujin what I'm saying is that the whole thing could have been handled a lot less bloodier and a lot less corruptly. it shouldn't have happened as it did and Britain should have given Ireland back before all the IRA bombings began so lives were saved and we could now be alliances and get along as country's.
@Fenellaaaaa It would be nice if it were that simple. If it was then it would have been done. Mistakes were certainly made. But just giving back Northern Ireland would have been no less bloody, it would just have been the UDA etc who were in the spot light rather than the IRA.
@Fenellaaaaa When exactly? We've been ocupying norther Ireland for 300 years. We can say now we probably feel that it would be better not to have invaded in the first place but the world was a differnt place then. Somewhere along the line something had to be done to start the ball rolling. There was never a simple solution.
@LindenRyuujin we actually owned the whole of Ireland, when they wanted it back and wanted independence we should have given it them. the violence wasn't needed and its the corruption of the British government that is the problem.
@LindenRyuujin we actually occupied the whole of Ireland. but when they wanted independence we should have given it, the corruption of the British government is what caused it and i support the IRA reguardkess that the way they handled it was wrong.
@HUSKY57887 This film has nothing to do with supporting the IRA. It was the IRA that saw these men go to jail, they never were convicted of the crimes that these men were burdoned with. I'm an Irish Catholic, and the message of this film is FUCK the IRA, FUCK British corruption and FUCK those who bring violence to our streets no matter what creed.
Very very good movie.It looks like the corrupt met were not capable of finding the real culprits so in a time were the Irish were hated because of the activities of the IRA they discriminated against an inncoent group of young Irish lads just so they could put a body away and close the case.My Dad use to tell me about those days in the 70s.He nearly got his head kicked in simply because his Father was an Irish man.Ignorance.
a heartbreaking story about how you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time and because you wer irish and catholic you can be accused and locked up for something you didnt do
@rach799 its also a story about how you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time and because you were English, you can be blown up for something you didn't do or don't support.

@uploader10041986 its not hard to miss the corruption of the british authority in this film dont kid yourself and this coming from a western canadian my blood pressure roofed watching this movie.
@bassistdave109 to be clear i am very much a nationalistic irishman interested in an independent 32 county republic... but that must come second to basic human rights.
just as bothered as anyone else that watched the film but thats not what the movie is about. Im stating my feelings and opinions on what the movie is based on.
@roder51 Well given the number of ppl who like my comment i think it shows that a lot of people agree,,, Dont forget if you watch the film it also shows Gerry Conlon's hatred for IRA murdering scumbags.
I love this movie and I wish Jim Sheridan would do more movies as long as he stays away from cheesie gangster pictures like Get Rich or Die Trying. He's such a good storyteller.
all i have to say to any one who replies an insult to irish ppl who call us terrorist all i hav to say is it was an actual war so people had to do to wat must be done and im totally for that any one against me all i have to say is go fuck ureself ure probobly a unionist scum bag (planter)
Yeah we can see through the bullshit. Americans invade Iraq, blow half the country up, kill and maim tens of thousands of innocent people then they make the Iraqis out to be the bad guys for fighting back. USA, UK and Israel are the scum of the earth and these 3 countries are heading down the road to their destruction. They've made 1 too many enemies.
Terrible scene (not in filmmaking terms, but in what it depicts). The Troubles, both in Northern Ireland and elsewhere, is one of the most draining, exhausting and disheartening periods for any British or Irish person to contemplate. This scene robs of the Provos of the romanticism they are often simplemindedly associated with. Still, considering the injustices Irish Catholics suffered in Northern Ireland, one is left thinking "what needed to be done?". The whole situation is depressing.
completely agree. from what i know, the english have behaved atrociously in ireland for very long periods of time ever since they first got there. if only half of the reports and stories are true, then they have an enormous dept of guilt towards the irish people. still, once the gloves are off it´s hard to stay the good guy. "the wind that shakes the barley" is another excellent film about this which shows how hard it is to choose sides in what is basically oppression mixed with civil war.
fantastic movie,i like the way that usual phrases and silly jokes become to have a very deep meaning,realistic and artistic in the same time,i wiil buy the book in the comin' days..
i´m sorry, i accidentally clicked on the negative rating...:-( just wanted to tell you that the book is excellent, it´s both a moving account but also very well written, real engaging literature...
I loved the movie and offcourse the music.There is no denying it.I was in tears through the whole movie but if it wasn't for the music there wouldn't be that more emotion.
As another atheist it shocks me to the core of my being how many people are gullible enough to think the conflict in Ireland was about Religion, it wasn't.
esta película está basada en hechos reales y diré que aún no sé si las personas que tuvieron que ver en la realidad con que la coartada de estas personas no fuera enseñada a la defensa fueron acusadas
At time America was napalming villages in South East Asia, was still deeply racially devided and having already massacred its native Indian population.
At least the Guildford Four had a trial unlike those poor sods at Guantanamo Bay. America even openly admits to torture such as waterboarding and other torture methods at Guantanamo. As for locking people up, America leads the world.
Yes, they had a mock trial I guess? I mean, withholding evidence purposefully is hardly condusive to a real trial. What on earth does America have to do with this anyways? Yeah, we have done some bad stuff, but this one is totally between the Brits and Irish. We sat this one out...
nc cooke listen spade head its nuts like you who only have one opinion that keeps them ticking over as for your slogan up the IRA I AGREE RIGHT UP THEM
Although Paul Hill has strong republican sympathies (Hill canvassed for Sinn Fein at the last Westminster elections), no evidence has ever emerged linking any of the 4 to the IRA.
4. The film was not pro-IRA, but not pro-British either.
5. U2 are definitely not republicans.
The armed struggle is over, why try fighting it again over the internet?
Thank you for your comments! I'm so completely disturbed and moved by this film, I can't tell you!! But, I can't find anyone who wants to discuss it with me! These people were FALSELY IMPRISONED with full knowledge of their government... in our lifetime! CHRIST that's terrifying! I've ordered every book and DVD I can find. I'm so curious to know the British sentiment on the topic. Wow!! Scarey stuff!!
The movie is very good ... but it's very distressing and you won't want to watch it again. I got this on dvd for xmas and watched it the following day. Almost a year later, I haven't watched it for the second time .. x
The bombs the Balcombe Street Gang used werent like that at all, they were just silly little firecracker things, they didnt blow the windows out like that at all LOL, this is hilarious
He went back to Belfast sometime after. The Prevention of the terrorism act he was arrested under passed bill like a month or so later ... he was arrested days after. x
Herniaboy7: how can you be so insensitive? This scares me so much, people dying in a bomb in an ordinary pub, your just too immature to realise actually how scary it is.
Its not the people in the pub that got fucked over, it was the people that got wrongly blamed for it and put in prison for 15 years that got fucked over
All right, if nobody will say it, I will: the main theme of this film is an obvious copy of American Jesus, by Bad Religion, released two years before.
correction, this is a docudrama of a terrorist attack in England by the IRF(i think it was the IRF) and the innocent Irishman convicted because of it.
actually no this was based on the autobiography from gerard conlon, he was an innocent man framed for a crime he didnt commit! its a tale of british injustice, jailing innocent men, women and children! torturing them to admit responsibility for crimes they didn't commit!!!
the british were so cruel to us inocent irish people FUCK THE UNION JACK WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK and the police never got sentenced

esta película está basada en hechos reales y diré que aún no sé si las personas que tuvieron que ver en la realidad con que la coartada de estas personas no fuera enseñada a la defensa fueron acusadas

@FreeLoveAndDope1974 I totally agree, GREAT MOVIE!! But don't forget Giuseppe, Gerry's father, he got fucked majorly, too.
This movie has been on HBO lately and I've watched in 3 times already- twice in one day, once the next. So GOOD.

At time America was napalming villages in South East Asia, was still deeply racially devided and having already massacred its native Indian population.
At least the Guildford Four had a trial unlike those poor sods at Guantanamo Bay. America even openly admits to torture such as waterboarding and other torture methods at Guantanamo. As for locking people up, America leads the world.
Beazlee50 3 years ago 5
Yes, they had a mock trial I guess? I mean, withholding evidence purposefully is hardly condusive to a real trial. What on earth does America have to do with this anyways? Yeah, we have done some bad stuff, but this one is totally between the Brits and Irish. We sat this one out...

Although Paul Hill has strong republican sympathies (Hill canvassed for Sinn Fein at the last Westminster elections), no evidence has ever emerged linking any of the 4 to the IRA.
4. The film was not pro-IRA, but not pro-British either.
5. U2 are definitely not republicans.
The armed struggle is over, why try fighting it again over the internet?

Thank you for your comments! I'm so completely disturbed and moved by this film, I can't tell you!! But, I can't find anyone who wants to discuss it with me! These people were FALSELY IMPRISONED with full knowledge of their government... in our lifetime! CHRIST that's terrifying! I've ordered every book and DVD I can find. I'm so curious to know the British sentiment on the topic. Wow!! Scarey stuff!!
LeonardAndNickFan 4 years ago 6
Okay, some quick points.
1. The 'Balcombe street gang' admitted responsibility for this in court, that confession was ignored.
2. Although never convicted for this incident, the Balcombe street gang served over 20 years in prison and were released as part of the GFA.
3. The Guildford 4 were entirely innocent.

The movie is very good ... but it's very distressing and you won't want to watch it again. I got this on dvd for xmas and watched it the following day. Almost a year later, I haven't watched it for the second time .. x

How can you still blame him?
Gerry Conlon is an innocent man! Yet he served time as a guilty one!
To be in prison for 15years for a crime you did not commit - thats got to be torture!!
Im glad justice was finally served!

All right, if nobody will say it, I will: the main theme of this film is an obvious copy of American Jesus, by Bad Religion, released two years before.

correction, this is a docudrama of a terrorist attack in England by the IRF(i think it was the IRF) and the innocent Irishman convicted because of it.
Do some history research first, yo.
ArtKnife 4 years ago
That does not change the fact: U2 commited plagiarism. Besides, I thought that a docudrama contained necesarily some real image.
papapepepenultimo 4 years ago
True. I suppose i was a bit snarky there.*slaps wrist*
But the docudrama bit, not really. Only if the director wnats to include it. Docudrama is just a dramatisation of events.

actually no this was based on the autobiography from gerard conlon, he was an innocent man framed for a crime he didnt commit! its a tale of british injustice, jailing innocent men, women and children! torturing them to admit responsibility for crimes they didn't commit!!!
