Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014) by Adam K — 17 Feb 2015
Ken Loach has a thing for Ireland and the Irish and speaking as an Irish person he has made a very subtle but profound statement here. Its a statement well made and one any open minded Irish person will sympathise and agree with.
Deep down in the Irsh Psyche lies an unbroken personal and spiritual freedom that has its roots in a culture that predates Christianity by at least 1000 years. In our most recent history up until the present that personal and spiritual freedom has been gagged by a suffocating conservatism that we are only now coming out of.
Many free thinking people have stood up to this tyranny in the past and it is people like that we should thank for todays improvements. This film is about those people. We are not fully emancipated even today but we will be soon.
