What a great movie

Obligatory ukkk

Great story about revolution that made me think a lot about what's going on in Palestine, with the IRA hitting military targets and the Brits doing violence against civilians as retaliation. It makes sense that the brother who joined the free state was the one who protected the landlord earlier in the film. He's all like "if we don't defend the free state then the British will come back" and it's like motherfucker you swore an oath to the king! You are the fucking British now

From my understanding both the pro and anti treaty factions of Sinn Fein ended up splitting into some pretty fucking conservative movements. Eamon De Valera was the radical here, the other side were fascists.

And look what Valera did as soon as he couldn't use the IRA any more? He tossed it aside and made Fianna Fail. Love that line in Patriot's Game"

This Ireland of mine has for long been half free, Six counties are under John Bull's tyranny.

And still de Valera is greatly to blame

For shirking his part in the patriot game.

I don't mind a bit if I shoot down police

They are lackeys for war never guardians of peace

And yet at deserters I'm never let aim

The rebels who sold out the patriot game
