Review of The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) by Rosie — 06 May 2007
Mr Pedro B, I have to disagree with you completely. Loach is not being one sided. If you knew anything about what has happened in Ireland this last hundred years or so you would know that the English don't have a foot to stand on.
I would like you to research the background of this film and you will see that the British came to THIS country and made lives hell for no reason. Obviously the Irish fought back.. but I am aware the Irish are not angles but this film depicts what ACTUALLY happened.
It is based on TRUE events! So it is not ONE SIDED. If it did show it from the British point of veiw, you will still see the British wrecking houses and brutally murdering people! Ok! Loach has done an excellent job in showing how the troubles turned brother against brother.
It is a very powerful film and truly thought-provoking.
