It's been a long time since this Cannes Film Festival winning film. I haven't watched it since I bought it, maybe I want to adjust the mood that I can watch the classics.

After watching it, I was a little disappointed, not as good as I imagined.

Especially not as "In the Name of Father", which is also set in the IRA.

Maybe the director wants to emphasize "neutrality" too much and avoid emotional input.

What is more shocking is the sentence "I will never see you again!", from different people, targeting two dead, one a traitor and the other a revolutionary martyr. But the emotion is the same.

  • Damien: It is too late, Teddy. You can't see it. You really can't see it. John Bull has got his hand down your pants, his fist round your bollocks and you can't see it?
