SoFlaJets Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 is coming on tonight (Tuesday 6/9) at 8:15 on 552 HDNet Movies. It's called Bloody Sunday. It's about the English troops firing on AND KILLING the Irish in a 1972 uprising. You actually see how things escalated and went so badly out of control-and you actually see the troops killing the protesters. I saw this movie a few years ago late one night and it freaked me out-try and watch this tonight or DVR it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English soldiers should have been charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic here... heh I assume that you are referring to the movie titled "Bloody Sunday" in which this actor (James Nesbitt) portrays MP Ivan Cooper, who organized the march: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was real-I.AM.AN.IDIOT-thanks for letting me know...OK I may have been high that night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie was filmed to look more authentic as if it were a documentary, but if they had actual footage from the command center and of the paras firing on unarmed civilians, I would hope that there would have been consequences for those actions.

Larz Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 this movie has haunted me ever since I saw it one night very late Mick. U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday was written about this event kinda The band have said the lyrics refer to the events of both Bloody Sunday (1972) and Bloody Sunday (1920), but are not specifically about either event.[15] The song takes the standpoint of someone horrified by the cycle of violence in the province. Bono rewrote The Edge's initial lyrics, attempting to contrast the two events with Easter Sunday, but he has said that the band was too inexperienced at the time to fully realise that goal, noting that "it was a song whose eloquence lay in its harmonic power rather than its verbal strength."[10] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
