Ashley Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Have you seen the movie Bloody Sunday? Is it any good? And is it historically accurate? I may do a World History Project on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I've not seen it; it's gotten pretty good reviews on www.imdb.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rev Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 It seems that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops haven't done a review of that movie yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellenita Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 The Bishop of Derry at the time has reviewed the film - from the official website: [quote]'As witness to the events of Bloody Sunday on January 30, 1972, I can state that the film BLOODY SUNDAY captured those events with uncanny accuracy. I was deeply moved and emotionally quite distressed by the film. It was too close for comfort. I hope that it wil permit many people to get a sense of what happened on the day that became a crucial turning point of the Northern Ireland Troubles. It will perhaps offer some explanation for the twenty years of conflict that subsequently followed.' Bishop Edward Daly Bishop of Derry (1974 Â 93) September 10, 2002 [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Yeah, Ellenita, I read just read a firsthand account by Bishop Derry of Bloody Sunday. Such a sad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.SIGGA Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I saw it. It's really brutal; lots of kids and old people getting shot. I was told by a professor that it is extremely acurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenita Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Sojourner, was it a book, and if so what was the title? It's so hard to get any true information about it over here.... the cover up has been really extensive for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 [quote name='Ellenita' date='May 22 2004, 12:51 PM'] Sojourner, was it a book, and if so what was the title? It's so hard to get any true information about it over here.... the cover up has been really extensive for years. [/quote] It was actually an excerpt from a book Bishop Daly wrote, "Mister, Are You a Priest?": [url="http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/events/bsunday/daly/daly00.htm"]Here's the link. [/url]. It gives ordering info from the site; I've no idea if the info is still good, but you can give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenita Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Thanks for the link Sojourner. The book was only published in 2000 so I bet I can still buy it somewhere..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
