if the screws were evil ,what dd that make the terrorists , they wernt in prison for shop lifting , the had to use force to get them to come out of their shitty cells, and as in the film your spat in the face or headbutted , you,ll get a smack back, youd have to be mental, to purposely be evil towards the ira , knowing the,ll find out were you live ,and as it happend ,killed several guards

@TheMightOfTheEnglish the ira killed 16 of the screws at the maze, what i found the worst was them fuckers in riot gear smshing the fuck out of the naked ira men. they were treated like shit,all they wanted was recognition that they were political and not common criminals.

You're not making any sense ?

This isn't about weather the people in the movie were good or bad - they were equally good and equally bad. This is the lesson: we are all the same. They were both wrong, The British and the IRA.

This is what the priest tries to tell him; perpetuating the insanity. Stop it. Negotiate.

negotiate , yes ,thats what the british wanted all along , the original conflict in 69 wasnt caused by the brits, it was caused by NI having their own government ,much like now, dominated by loyalist unionist government,, it was the ira who used violence to get their way , the bullit and the bomb, theve got futher through discussions since the ceasfire , than violence the british only responded to the ira and supporters , to stop the violence, you must be crazy to say we were as bad as the IRA

to a neutral it could be perceived as a powerful film,it was , no one likes to see people in that condition,,it was self inflicted , but lets get both sides , prison officers were targeted and killed in front of their families, as you say it sould of been avoided ,but for the ira , they turned a civil rights campaign ,into a united ireland campaign , and used violence and murder to get their way, then blaming us for cracking down on them, no you wont see many british feeling sorry for them
