Good film

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2010)

Good film, excellent documentary feel and given the subject not as one sided as it could have been - riots etc are chaotic for all concerned - as to those transatlantic posters with comments like "When a government is not OF the people, as the Derry government definitely wasn't, the resentment is real, true and deserved", they only show how little they understand - the type of person who probably donated to NORAID and sings rebel songs at a bar! Not a good day for anyone including the British Army and understandably an event that stoked up support for PIRA. Its interesting to note comments by people who served over there who also consider it has the right feel - though when did the Paras refer to subunits as squadrons as happens at one point? Btw one reviewer (from Australia)wrote "The officers of the army DID arm its soldiers, with powerful rifles, tear gas cannisters, heavy artillery and tanks" - heavy artillery and tanks" - I'd LOL if this wasn't a serious subject - tanks and artillery - where were they - exagerrating matters doesn't really help anyone - and to be honest being as they were soldiers they would be armed with rifles wouldn't they?
