As a fan of the historical Michael Collins, I was somewhat underwhelmed by this particularly cinematic interpretation. The film is only mildly engaging.

I saw it years ago, and liked it quite a lot. I was actually looking for my copy of it to watch this last St. Patrick's day.

I couldn't find it, and so I was all for watching "the Quiet Man", but the family preferred to watch "Boondock Saints".

I enjoyed the film.

Celts have always preferred fighting each other to fighting a outside power. True in Julius Caesar’s time, true in Dark Age Ireland and true in modern times.

When I took a course on terrorism, the course taught that he was the father of modern terrorism. Michael Collins’ methods of warfare were copied by the Algerians, then the PLO etc. The instructor claimed there were IRA members who trained the Algerians, and aided the PLO (in this case probably the Marxist Provisional faction of the IRA).

As a member of the same family as Michael I sat with four family members and watched to the end of the credits. We all cried and cheered as we walked out. The twinkle in my father’s eye lasted all the way home. Thank you for a great memory.

Too bad they didn’t cast Kenneth Branagh as Collins. He was a dead ringer for him.
