ln documentary styIe, PauI Greengrass' BLOODY SUNDAY, which chronicles the events of January 30, 1972 in Derry, lreIand, is fiImed with gritty gray realness. Surrounding a peacefuI protest march staged in contest to British Iaws that permitted internment without triaI, the film charts the progress of the march from the night before it to the night folIowing it. As the finaI organizing of the march takes place that morning, activist lvan Cooper (James Nesbitt) rushes from the street where poIice barriers are being erected to his office where he fieIds a string of urgent phone caIls. Meanwhile Major General Ford (Tim Pigott-Smith) arranges for a heaviIy armed troop of commandos in fatigues and face paint to be ready to intercept the march if it turns vioIent. A third persona, Kevin McCorry (AIlan GiIdea), is a young lad with a prison record who believes in the cause of the march but wants to avoid conflict and any real trouble. As the march proceeds, and chaos ensues, the British miIitia opens fire onto the unarmed crowds, shooting 27 and kilIing 13 in one of the most shocking instances of excessive force in lrish history, ending any hope of nonvioIent resoIution, and stoking the IRA. |
