"The Wind That Shakes The Barley (2007) IMDB There are war movies that make you cringe. Either because of the violence or the atrocities portrayed, or the sheer evil that is shown.... and then there are films like The Wind That Shakes The Barley, which make you cringe for some of the above reasons, but for other reasons a little less obvious.The most obvious of which is that a country that we 'mercans hold in such high regard, namely the UK, could exact such a toll on such a nearby and similar neighbor, namely Ireland. Yeah you could draw a similar (but not identical) parallel to the US Civil War, and I'll get to that, but there's just something ab "

"If there’s one thing I relate to on the big screen, it’s the depiction of fraternal relationships. I’m the middle of three brothers (excluding the half-brother I only knew as a toddler and the former stepbrother I only knew briefly as an adult), and at different points in my life I’ve either hated them or considered them my best friends. So, yeah, I can’t wait to see Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as new siblings who go from being enemies to BFFs when forced to live together. Choosing a handful of favorite movies about brotherhood is really tough. After all, tales of brothers go all the way back to almost the beginning, with the story of Cain and Abel. And a number of favorites can’t exactly be discussed, because the revelation of brothers, especially twin brothers, is often the surprise twist in films. So, before you start naming a thousand other films about brothers that I’ve forgotten (such as The Brothers McMullen and Legends of the Fall), keep in mind ... "

"If you haven't seen the movie Michael Collins and you don't know anything about the formation of the Irsish free state this movie might be hard to follow. It is a very good film showing both sides of the story for Irish Independence. I enjoyed the cinemotography and the acting was very good. Overall It was a great film. "

"Note: I didn't have space in the title to list that the year is of some dispute, as it released in Europe in 2006 but in America this year. Also, it is a co-production of Irish, English, German, Italian and Spanish companies. The Wind That Shakes the Barley is a stunning historical film that at times is so realistic it seems like you're watching a documentary. It covers the a key period in Ireland's history, from the rebellion shortly after World War One to the Irish Civil War that followed. It is a riveting and exciting piece of cinema, and something more- inspirational. No other film appreciates the brave sacrifice of the normal Irishmen and woman who gave up their careers, and in some cases, there lives, so that their country could be free. Watching this film, I wondered if I would be able to do the things that these freedom fighters do for my country. Would I able to be tortured or watch my friends be tortured? Would I be able to kill people, believing that it served the great ... "
