Movie Reviews of Bloody Sunday
Movie Review: fuel for the twisted IRA fire
Summary: 2 Stars
While an overview of what happened in 1972 and a well-made film, this film will also serve to needlessly add fuel to the fire for the misinformed Irish-Americans that feel support for the terrorist of the IRA and Sinn Fein are somehow 'patriotic.'What happened in 1972 has SO little to do with the true Irish problem as it exists today- which is Irish Catholics vs. Irish protestants and engrained hatred of each other.
Supporting the IRA and Sinn Fein does NOT promote peace or loyalty to Ireland, it promotes and endures the civil war going on their between two extremist groups. The supporters of the IRA and Sinn Fein in America (thankfully a dwindling group) shouldn't flatter themselves to think that anyone in the UK has an interest in keeping Northern Ireland.
It's a major, draining inconvenience to the British who sadly still need to remain there at the SPECIFIC REQUEST of the Irish Protestants who are entitled to protection from becoming a Socialist state and total eradication from Ireland simply for being Protestant. Call it what it is- preventing the IRA's Final Solution....

Summary: 1 Stars
This is a dramatisation of the events of "Bloody sunday" January 30th 1972 where 14 catholic civil rights marcher were killed by the British army. The story is told through the eyes of Ivan Cooper, a civil rights activist and MP. The acting and directing in this film are very good but I have given it 1 star because it has a blatant political agenda. It is designed to make the viewer sympathise with the IRA and feel hatred towards the British. After the killings Cooper is asked what he would say to anyone thinking of joining the IRA to which he replies " I'm not in the mood to lecture them this evening". Almost all the British characters are presented negatively and all the Irish nationalist ones are presented in a positive light. The viewer gains no understanding of life in Northern Ireland for British soldiers who are presented as trigger-happy killers under the control of commanders who conform to traditional offensive stereotypes of the British. At the end of the film the viewers hatred of the evil brits is whipped up to a creshendo when we are told the soldiers were honoured by the queen. No mention is made of the multi-million pound inquiry which Britain conducted four years before the film was released (and which proved the film wrong in it's outrageous suggestion that the British government ordered the shootings). This film has an obvious anti-British agenda and is an IRA depiction of what happened on "Bloody Sunday"
