(apologies if this has been posted a million times already) Just saw the movie Bloody Sunday over the weekend, and three things:
1. Amazing film! Filmed in an almost documentary style so you get the sense of watching events as they unfold.
2. James Nesbitt should have been nominated for an Oscar. His performance is that good.
3. The live performance of Sunday Bloody Sunday at the end of the film is so powerful that the filmmakers let the song go on, well after the credits have ended, all over a black screen. And after seeing the movie, the song is moved into a whole other place for me. I mean, I knew about the massacre, but to see the way it was presented and hideousness of the army's actions...SBS has moved up quite a few notches on the U2 song list for me.
Amazing movie, check it out, but be prepared to be moved.
