I had a look at the website, Ireland and it seems they did try to not stir things up, too much, or at least be honest about their motivations. Thanks for the link.

I do realise, Kevin, that it is fiction within history and I noticed, from the little bit I saw, that it didn't show a lot of certain viewpoints.

It does seem it did a good job of what they apparently meant to do, that is show it through the eyes of one idealistic young man whose life was changed dramatically because of his participation in the events of the time.

Ireland, please, I did say I just wanted to know what people thought of it and if it followed in an authetic way the history of the times. BUt, that doesn't mean no discussion. I just didn't want to start any of the infamous inharmonious debates we've had here before concerning N.I. Thanks for you understanding and respect, but please do feel free to add more, if you wish. That goes for everyone, as long as we can keep it civil and focussed, eh? thanks!
