I am not really the person to ask as I don't like to dl bolly stuff but I am sure there is. Have you tried BollyWHAT's website forums and asking around? If anyone would know, they would.
One of the tragedies for Ireland is that many of the best got killed in the Easter Rising, the War of Independence, or the Civil War, which tinges this movie with even more historical tragedy. Connolly, Collins, Pearse

Hi, just popping up to say that I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the movie.
The shooting scene is of course, horrible. I found it incredibly hard to watch, Damien utterly scared yet still refusing to give in, and Teddy not able to give in either.
As horrible as I found the shooting scene, I think I found the very end the worst, with Sinaed bending over, crying. And then they cut to the credits, and I thought, "that's it?" And that was what was so horrible about it. Because, as you say, there was no right or wrong, just pain. And that's why I found it more worse than the shooting, because at least Damien thought there was a right or wrong. He had his belief that what he was doing was the only right thing to even as he was about to die. I don't think Sinaed didn't even have that to comfort her when she found out.

Thank you for the response! (And I love On the Waterfront icon).
Teddy didn't have to be there, and Damien didn't have to be the one to tell the boy's mother, but they did those things anyway.
And it really ties with the whole inability to give in. It can be a wonderful quality, but their own strength is parodoxically their downfall. Weaker men would have never come to this, to the ending. But weaker men would have never rebelled in the first place.
I don't think Sinaed didn't even have that to comfort her when she found out.
Exactly. I do believe she was on Damien's side in this political division. But that is cold comfort when you lose someone you love...

Devdas makes me bawl. I think I have managed to watch it all the way through only twice.
On Buffy: YES.
