Spoliers ahead! movie discussion post.

spoiler

I loved this movie. I especially liked the theme of "is it better to be kind or to be remembered by history?" I think most people lean towards kindness but then when you think about things like communist revolution, or even just any protesting, you engage in things that may not be considered "kind" in an interpersonal sense, even if it is something that saves more suffering in the longer term.

I also enjoyed the male relationship dynamics. the cinematography. and many other parts of the plot and themes that all swirl together in such a simple story. some good ole irish anti-police sentiment. etc.

well, what'd'ya think, so?

    I really like the fact that Colm's music probably won't be remembered in fifty years but the story of the guy who chopped all his fucking fingers off out of spite will be passed down for generations.
