Hi Cassie, just wanted to say that my daughter used to love your videos and would try to get me to watch along with her. It was never really my thing but ever since she passed away I find myself watching and use it as a connection to my girl. Silly perhaps but just wanted to say thanks for bringing my daughter a lot of joy and entertainment
The day of their release was huge in Ireland. The image of an enraged Gerry in his shirt was burned forever into my mind. The BBC gave it some coverage too as most people in Britain had figured out that these men ( and the Birmingham 6 ) were falsely imprisoned. The film absolutely made my blood boil.
Saw this film when it came out in 1993 and it inspired me to take a course in Irish history the following year. Ireland is such a small country (both geographically and population-wise) but has played such an enormous role in world history.
“I’m an innocent man, I’m going out th front door!” I love that line.
"Falsely accused. Wrongly imprisoned. He fought for justice 👨⚖to clear his father's 👴name."
One of the best films I ever watched.
Daniel Day-Lewis's dad in the movie played the lawyer part of Keyser Söze in The Usual Suspects
Wow. This is one of my all time favs. Incredible history.
Thankyou for posting this reaction. I watched this when it came out, and I've never been more emotional or angry in a film since.
