Bloody Sunday (2002 - Paul Greengrass). Very good, very upsetting and very realistic. The on-the-streets scenes looked exactly like a documentary, fantastically well done. Greengrass tried to make the dramatized scenes in a similar way, with shaky cameras and all that. If I had to complain about something, and I guess I always have to, I think these "drama scenes" should have been filmed in a more conventional style, so to speak. I think that would have made it all even better and made the scenes of the marching, the riots and the shootings feel even more real. But aside from that, I have nothing to complain about. Brilliant film and James Nesbitt et al were great.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
