I'm really overwhelmed by this motion picture. It's exhausted me emotionally.
Events transpire in Ireland sometime around 1920. Presents a brutally true picture of Irish freedom struggle. IRA was formed to accomplish the dream of a free Ireland. Later IRA compromised it's principles and started talks with Britishers for something less than that (an Irish Free State within the British Commonwealth). The revolutionaries that saw the blood of their fellow Irishmen spilled feel the martyrs and their families are being cheated and decide to continue war themselves. Conflict. Dilemma. Those who stared off together become foes. Things unravel and lead to something utterly unpleasant and unexpected. Their every argument, every action, pain, suffering, every atrocity they face, you will feel it, you will be there right into that frame. Hats off to Loach and Barry Ackroyd , the cinematographer.
This is first Ken Loach movie I've seen and I assure you it wont be the last.
