  Cool idea but hard to justify the extreme brutality

  The Wind That Shakes the Barley 2006

  ★★★½ Watched 27 Feb 2025

  I know this focuses on a small part of the fight for Irish independence, but the fact that these guys running around the country side in street clothes could challenge GB is insane. The treaty dilemma is morally challenging and ultimately has tragic implications which really elevate the story in the back half. 
  Cillian Murphy’s delivery of his lines is superb.
  “You’ve wrapped yourself in the Union Jack. The butcher’s apron.”

  People are really letting one supposedly deep scene redeem this crazy rich eurasians snooze fest with a guy somehow ten times more squirmy than Chalamet? 
  There’s no way this actually wins an Oscar right?

  Life’s work, dedication, uncompromising pride. 

  That rice needs to feel the pressure!

  1/7 edit, a few days post watch: Convo with max  (@makkiek44) really making me think about the family and cultural dynamics at play. Tons of subtle big picture stuff. Wow.
