I loved this film. It goes to the top of my list of all-time favorites.
I don't give a living damn that it was made by a Trotskyist director. I appreciate art for what it is and that was a shockingly brilliant movie.
I am so passionate about Irish culture that it nearly broke my stomach.
And yes, the reaction of the crowd was similar to the Croatian one. I saw quite a few people crying and I shed a couple of tears myself.
Greeks can sympathize with tormented nations just as well...
