One of the Best Movies of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2003)

On 30th January 1972, British parachute troops shoot against a peaceful march of disarmed Irish civilian claiming for civil rights. After the massacre, twenty-seven civilian are shot, being thirteen dead and fourteen wounded. This movie is one of the best of the year. The dramatization is so perfect that gives the sensation to the viewer of a documentary. The use of hand-held cameras provides the feeling of confusion, like the images of correspondents in the war. The fact is true, really happened, but the fictional dialogs certainly are part of a dramatization. This event is a wound in the flesh of the Northern Irish and it is the theme of maybe the most beautiful song of the U2. This UK/Ireland production is a wonderful movie, which certainly deserves an Oscar. My vote is ten.
