I'm watching this movie again - it's been a while. I watched Braveheart last weekend for the first time ever, and Waltz with Bashir during the week. I guess part of me is thinking how terrible it is that people go around killing each other all the time, but another part of me is thinking how terrible it is that people find themselves in situations where they feel a need to do such things.
Michael Collins was essentially an early terrorist, but somehow this movie makes you root for him. And my Irish blood and the reality of the Republic of Ireland today makes me glad he more or less won, and I'll cry when he's shot again at the end. Freedom is a great thing - I just wish it didn't cost so many lives and so much suffering.
