Bloody Sunday
I liked this movie. It was well shot and gave the documentary/reality feel. It was about the Bloody Sunday incident which involved the British army killing 13 Irish demonstrators in the city of Derry. Watching this movie I can’t but think about what America and NATO is doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ivan Cooper the MP from Derry says at the end of the movie that this violent action by the British army would result in large numbers of recruits for the IRA which would earn the Brits a world of hurt. He was right when he said that, and that’s exactly what happened. Well, the US and its Allies are doing thousands of times worse things in those poor countries, and then they are surprised by the rise of extremist groups. This world is a sad place, doomed to be manipulated and ruled by unethical bigots only concerned about money and power.
