Review of The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) by Mohammad Javad H — 09 Aug 2008
Good movie...
This is an amazing film that gives an accurate portrayal of the events in Ireland during the reign of the evil Black & Tans. Of course the British are not going to like it because it shows them up for the colonial oppressors they once were. It's quite simple really, the Black & Tans laid the foundation for a rebellion against an evil colonial force, take it on the chin Brits it's what you were.
Ken Loach has no reason to lie in his films, he gets at the truth and holds no bars in telling it, but sure if any truth about the Brits comes out then the provider must be anti-British.
I am pleased that the British are taking this film so badly, if you would only open your mind and realize how evil your past governments were then maybe you could see the film, in a different light.
I like that.
