	Bloody Sunday (1972) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On Sunday January 30, 1972, in an incident since known as Bloody Sunday, 13 unarmed men and boys were shot dead and 14 others were wounded by British paratroopers after a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in the Bogside area of the city of Derry, Northern Ireland.
		Bloody Sunday boosted the status of the organisation, and many young Catholics, who felt aggrieved at what they perceived as the injustice of the day, joined the IRA.
		Memory of Bloody Sunday overshadows most other violent instances in the history of the recent troubles of Northern Ireland, arguably because it was carried out by the British Government and not paramilitaries.

		There are so many characters in the film that it is impossible to name or recognize them at this point, but it is best to acknowledge their presence and impact on the overall sense of the film.
		The film’s presentation is generally excellent and the only noticeable fault is the presence of some light edge enhancement in a few scenes.
		Bloody Sunday’s transfer is a little dark thanks to the film’s visual style, but the presentation is very good overall.

		The film's opening sets up a sense of overpowering doom that instantly permeates the very fabric of the narrative, and the film's coda is a cacophonous blizzard of emotional outbursts and stark inner realizations.
		While I'm a firm believer that a film should speak for itself and that the makeup of a film's cast and crew shouldn't make a difference to the its overall impact, this British/Irish collaboration can't help but be some kind of symbol of hope and solidarity.
		Bloody Sunday is a violent, scathingly nihilistic movie, which some may take issue with.

	Sunday, Bloody Sunday
		Whereas Alex remains tortured most of the film, Daniel ends the film with a speech directly to the camera about the limitations of all relationships,the compromises we have to make in all relationships, and the responsibility to extract from each human experience as much joy and meaning as is possible.
		"Sunday, Bloody Sunday" was one of the most acclaimed adult dramas of the early 70s, and one of the first major films to address gay relationships.
		The film was directed by John Schlesinger as his follow-up to the Oscar-winning "Midnight Cowboy." It's a solid drama of obvious interest for its early, relatively non-judgmental depiction of a gay relationship.

		There are no major flaws with "Bloody Sunday," but I found it difficult to watch because of the feelings the story brings out in me. You could compare it to "Black Hawk Down" in terms of how the battle was reenacted and the realism that the films set out to achieve.
		"Bloody Sunday" is an event that has been in the mainstream's knowledge for 30 years, especially through U2's song of the same title, of which a live version plays over the credits.
		The film, besides being based on actual events, also uses Don Mullan's book, "Bloody Sunday." Mullan was a producer on the film and provides the other commentary.

		Bloody Sunday takes us through the day of January 30, 1972, beginning in the wee hours of the morning and extending until after sunset.
		The film is presented through the lens of a hand-held camera with the color so desaturated that many scenes appear to be almost fl-and-white.
		Bloody Sunday won an audience award at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, which is a tribute to the impact it has upon viewers.

		Paul Greengrass' film "Bloody Sunday," which shared the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival this year, is made in the form of a documentary.
		Most of the 10,000 marchers on that Sunday would be Catholic; that a Protestant led them, and stood beside such firebrands as Bernadette Devlin, indicates the division in the north between those who stood in solidarity with their co-religionists, and those of all faiths who simply wanted the British out of Northern Ireland.
		His film is clear, however, in its belief that the British fired first and in cold blood, and he shows one wounded marcher being executed with a bullet in the back.

	People's Weekly World Newspaper Online - Bloody Sunday
		The film depicts the mounting tension and confusion on all sides and shows how, with the combination of a population simmering under centuries of oppression and military occupation, and a hated and frightened occupying army, things can get out of hand and lead to disaster.
		Bloody Sunday was a major turning point in the history of the modern Irish troubles, the filmmakers say, catapulting the conflict into a civil war, driving many young men into the ranks of the IRA and fuelling a decades-long cycle of violence.
		Nevertheless, the filmmakers say Bloody Sunday is "a war film about the struggle for peace." Filmed in a graphic on-the-street style, using many non-professional actors with direct ties to the actual events, Bloody Sunday gives vivid life to a story that resonates today, in the West Bank and in our own country, too.

		PARK CITY -- "Bloody Sunday" is an autopsy of a film, a provocative dramatization of the raging events that led up to one of the most appalling confrontations in the Irish-British wars that continue in Northern Ireland.
		Aesthetically, "Bloody Sunday" bangs along like a cab ride where the driver speaks in a foreign tongue and you're jarred all the way with swirls and quick stops and the constraint crackle of the receiver, where only every seventh or eight word can be distinguished.
		In short, it's hard not to view "Bloody Sunday" post-Sept. 11 as anything more than a generic TV war, and in these times, U.S. audiences are not going to want to sympathize with unorganized, slogan-shouting types, with a few fringers packing guns.

	Las Vegas Weekly: Bloody Sunday (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		"Bloody Sunday" is neither a fictionalized account nor a documentary of that fateful day; the events that transpired are reconstructed in real time, lending the film an authenticity in its detachment to a particular perspective.
		Using hand-held cameras and drab hues throughout (replicating old BBC news footage), the film volleys its focus between both sides of the standoff, in some cases using relatives of actual victims and former soldiers to portray the marchers and the British paratroopers who gunned them down.
		The film opens with Cooper announcing plans for a peaceful march—both to protest the British policy of internment without trial, which was installed the previous summer, and to demand decent public housing for poor Catholics.

		In telling the story of Bloody Sunday we needed to both acknowledge the many individual stories that make up the collective tragedy but at the same time allow for the emergence of key stories which would enable this collective tragedy to be told.
		By ensuring that, as much as possible SUNDAY was filmed in Derry and involved local actors in its telling, its making became the rare example of a community centrally involved in telling its own history.
		I think the film has been so successful because in touching a universal chord it creates an emotional bridge for people to understand the significance of Bloody Sunday not just for us but for the cause of justice internationally.

		Writer-director Paul Greengrass' "Bloody Sunday" is born out of this scabbed-over sensibility, and it is a stunning work, revisiting controversial events with journalistic objectivity and a meticulous eye for detail.
		"Bloody Sunday" shares a kind of aesthetic sisterhood with Ridley Scott's "Black Hawk Down," a point of comparison apt to be seized upon by the media: Both are antiwar movies that convey their messages through a straightforward accounting of war.
		And "Bloody Sunday" is the better film; the camera drops imperceptibly into the background, observing performances that seem caught by chance, unawares.

		Paul Greengrass' Bloody Sunday has been a film festival favorite, and received a good deal of critical praise, but despite the importance of the subject matter and the viceral power of Greengrass' filmmaking, the film is far from flawless.
		Bloody Sunday is a well filmed show that brings to light of one of the most tragic events in Irish history.
		Watching the film recreate the events of January 30th is a gut wrenching experience, especially as the marchers near the barricades in the Catholic Bogside neighborhood.

		Bloody Sunday was a turning point in the Troubles, leading to an escalation of the conflict and 25 years of cyclical violence.
		Like the writer-director's award-winning TV drama 'The Murder Of Stephen Lawrence', Bloody Sunday is a recreation of events using eye-witness accounts and documented evidence.
		Although a number of Catholic teenagers are shown taunting and throwing stones at the soldiers, it is the film's contention that the Paras needlessly - and murderously - opened fire with live ammunition.

	village voice > film > by Jessica Winter
		Based on Don Mullan's oral history, Eyewitness Bloody Sunday, Greengrass's harrowing panorama of the massacre (screening at the New York Film Festival on October 2 and 3 before opening in theaters October 4) serves as a vital corrective to decades of blame-the-victim obfuscation by the British government.
		So much came to an end on Bloody Sunday—the lives of 14 men and the very possibility that Northern Ireland's course of rebellion could be steered not by the resurgent, vengeance-fueled IRA but a nonviolent, integrated civil rights movement, as espoused by Derry's then-MP, Ivan Cooper.
		Greengrass's film aired on Irish and British TV to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, but its first-ever screening took place in Derry, for an audience that included Cooper as well as many relatives of the victims.

		Greengrass isn’t exactly making apologies, but he is discussing his latest film, Bloody Sunday, which recounts the horrific events that took place on Jan. 30, 1972, when British forces opened fire on what was a peaceful demonstration.
		The film was set to be completed for the 30th anniversary of the shooting—many may be familiar with it through the U2 song “Sunday Bloody Sunday”—in the spirit of “trying to build peace, inch by painful inch,” says Greengrass.
		The film is particularly depressing in light of the gains that were being made in the conflict at the time.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Bloody Sunday \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Bloody Sunday" explores the much-disputed events of Jan. 30, 1972, from several perspectives — perhaps most significantly from the vantage point of Ivan Cooper (James Nesbitt), a civil-rights leader who has sided against the Protestant-led government in spite of his religious beliefs.
		The film's obvious point of view is that this one event may have been the root cause of Ireland's 25-year cycle of escalating bloodshed.
		"Bloody Sunday" is rated R for graphic violence (rioting, gunfire and beatings), occasional use of strong sex-related profanity and some crude slang terms, gore, brief sexual contact and brief female nudity.

	Workers World Oct. 24, 2002: WW film review of 'Bloody Sunday'
		"Bloody Sunday" is a powerful and moving film about a pivotal event in modern Irish history: Jan. 30, 1972, the day that 27 peaceful demonstrators in Derry, northern Ireland, were shot by British paratroopers trying to crush the civil rights movement.
		The film is based on Don Mullan's oral history "Eyewitness Bloody Sunday," which gathered the testimony of 500 witnesses and was part of a campaign that created so much pressure on the British government that it was forced to conduct another inquiry into the behavior of its army.
		The film puts together actors and surviving "Bloody Sunday" participants--both protesters and former British paratroopers--for a docudrama that begins with the general in command of the British forces informing reporters that protest marches had been banned.
