"Bloody Sunday" the film

I was pretty moved watching the reactions in Londonderry on the news. Well played all round.

They played some of the victims famillies' statements on NPR...overwhelmingly moving. Great day for them.

Just watched this movie for the first time today and its odd reading all these negative comments to this film from years ago. If you find political cinema kinda frivolous or even offensive perhaps, thats fair enough but criticising a film for not bringing these issues to light when the event happened seems a tad unfair. It simply wouldnt have been made back then.

I dont feel it reinforced any stereotype either. The British soldiers dont come across as evil villians just scared, out-of-their-depth, macho and a bit thick.
