| Bloody Sunday | |||
|
Dir. Paul Greengrass UK/Ire 2002 Shot in a documentary newsreel style, Bloody Sunday is a historical recreation of the tragic January 1972 clash between British soldiers and Irish peace marchers in the city of Derry, Northern Ireland. Inspired by the 1963 civil-rights march in the US, this pro-unionist gathering was meant to bring awareness of the many Irish Catholic prisoners allegedly incarcerated unjustly. James Nesbitt plays Ivan Cooper a politician and civil rights leader whose ideal of a non-violent protest is doomed due to mutual distrust and contempt between poor Irish youth and British soldiers. The violence escalates amidst much confusion and a forewarning that hooligans and the IRA will cause real trouble. What begins with rock throwing turns to a hailstorm of bullets and within minutes 13 unarmed civilians are dead. The fighting, which frames the film, takes up relatively little screen time and instead the film focuses on the people whose lives were changed forever on that day which led to the ongoing "troubles" that exist still.
