Subject: BS: BBC_America's Rebel Heart - worth watchi
Before you read any further, please know that I honestly just want to know what those of you who are more knowledgable of Irish history think of this film, if you've seen it. I realise there are different takes on it according to where you are coming from and I do NOT mean to stir any pots or cause any heated debates with my question. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Right then, here it is:

BBC America has been running ads for a drama/film called Rebel Heart which they produced in 2000. It is a fictionalised account of Ireland's fight for independence as experienced through the eyes of one young man from Dublin.

I watched the second hour of the first half tonight and thought it was pretty good, but I am wondering how accurate/fair/authentic it might be. At least it sounded as though they had actors who knew the accents! But, what do I know, a puir gryl from the Rocky Mountains.**bg**

Thanks a bunch!
