        Farnsworth:The law clearly states that if your sons should lapse into comas, then you have the legal right to take them off the strike. Surely no mother would allow her son to die?

        Good Movie
        9 November 2003 | by Neil040See all my reviews

        Just watched tonight.. well I thought it was a good movie

        I understand some of the previous comments and its true I am sure that this is not totally accurate to the events.. but then again.. I have watched probably thousands of british films in my life and I would not say that they are all notable for their accuracy to historical facts!

        I think helen mirren is so superb as an actress.. any dispute?

        I think we have got to get past the past... not easy but some are trying to do this. I am british but feel no sense that the british role in ireland has been healthy overall... I now live in ireland and love the place.. I have also worked in the north and in all the years here have never once felt unwelcome for my accent.

        Its a sad terrible thing that happened over so many years.. anyone who believes there is any black and white right and wrong in this is mistaken in my opinion.. its way too complicated.. maybe there is hope ahead of us now..
