More to the story!

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2006)

The film is moving and if you have a problem with how it shows the British in Ireland during that period, well your in for a shock, that actually was one of the better periods. For about 700 hundred years prior it was worse, been sold into slavery, famine, slaughter by Crowell and his thugs. Recent history gets to be told because England has lost its empire and we can now tell our story and educate the British about there involvement in Ireland because i genuinely think they have not a clue about it. I have heard so many British people say its anti-British, thats a bit like saying all those world war 2 movies are anti-Germany. For a long long time we have had to put up with not telling our history, for fear it would incite more violence or cause offense to the great British public, well i say enough is enough, they have had their say (take Ryans Daughter for instance, a truly terrible anti-Irish movie). This film is based on fact, every incident in it actually happened to somebody in Cork at the time and worse. Wait till they make a movie out of Star of the Sea, or pick any other period of Irish history prior to independence, you have seen nothing yet.
