On January 30th, 1972, an Irish civil rights protest turns into a massacre when British troops open fire on a crowd of innocent protesters. This film shows the events that lead up to this brutal and unnecessary massacre. Also, that one U2 song is about this event.
This movie is very powerful and shocking. I knew slightly of this sad event (I don't know what else to call it), mostly due to the U2 song, but I was glad to see it reenacted.
My only issue with this movie is that the camera is handheld for the whole film. I never really thought about it until now and had I made a film prior to watching this movie I probably would have opted for handheld the whole time. I honestly would not have an issue with it at all except I got motion sick.
Watching films that show humans acting like monsters like this disturbs me greatly. I've been enjoying watching war films like this (although this was much more moving than most war films since innocent people were the main targets) during the daytime. I'm hoping when the weather gets nicer that I'll switch over to Westerns again. Those are a lot less depressing.
