	Michael Collins
		Michael Collins was born October 16th, 1890 in the village of County Cork on his father's farm.
		Collins' participation in the infamous Easter Rebellion was not in an official leadership position at first, but his character, determination, and devotion to the cause quickly won him many followers.
		Not only was Collins' death not as much of a trap as it seems, but he was not struck cleanly by a sniper; Michael Collins was struck by a ricochet bullet during the gun fight.

	Michael Collins — the Movie
		Collins felt that he had gained as much as he could when he signed the Treaty and, though the Dáil, and later on the country, ratified it, de Valera and his supporters refused; a refusal which ultimately led to the Civil War.
		Collins, for all the hurt it caused him to see former comrades and friends like Harry Boland on the opposite side, pursued the Civil War with the same determination he had shown against the British.
		A film on the life of Michael Collins was always going to be controversial, with accusations of giving support to the I.R.A. in the forefront of the argument for banning the film, a distinct possibility at one time.

	Michael Collins Movie Review
		For, in truth, MICHAEL COLLINS is as much the story of the birth pangs of the torn, troubled state as it is of one man's rise and fall.
		MICHAEL COLLINS opens in 1916 Dublin, with the infamous Easter Rising, where the better-organized British troops rout the Irish Volunteers.
		Collins is not the brash hero of the traditional historical epic -- he's a tormented individual who knows that his chief talent is for creating mayhem, but who wants peace so desperately that he's willing to die for it.

	MICHAEL COLLINS
		Born in a stone cottage in the late 1800s, Michael Collins came of age in the early 20th century, when a monumental history of oppression and bloodshed had divided Ireland and its people, making hatred and distrust a national heritage and a way of life.
		A truce was declared and De Valera insisted that Collins lead the negotiations with the London government, despite Collins' protestations that he was a guerrilla fighter, not a political negotiator.
		Collins watched helplessly as the men he cared most about in the world, De Valera and Boland, fought against him as if he were a hated enemy.

		Michael Collins is Neil Jordan's recreation of the final years of the man who founded the Irish Republican Army, and then negotiated the treaty which led to the creation of a Free Irish State and the partition of Northern Ireland.
		De Valera fancies himself a statesman of the diplomatic kind and is known to the British as a leader, and he escapes the firing squad solely due to his American citizenship.

		Neeson's portrayal of Collins as a terrorist's terrorist is unflinching.
		Collins wants to wage his war with fear so he starts a mass campaign of slaughter against the British rulers, specially the British "G-men" in Dublin.
		MICHAEL COLLINS runs 2:13, which is too short for its attempted scope, but the film would have been better if it were more tightly focused in which case it should have been shorter.

	Amazon.com: Michael Collins: DVD: Ian Hart,Julia Roberts,Richard Ingram,Liam Neeson,Aidan Quinn,John Kenny,Ronan ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Michael Collins occasionally loses focus and momentum, but is the kind of exciting historical drama that deserves to be called "sweeping." It is also one of the most beautifully photographed films in years: cinematographer Chris Menges uses color and texture to set moods and accent emotions.
		Michael Collins has nagging flaws, but in the sweep of the passionate filmmaking and performances, all else is moot.
		Michael is not able to negotiate for the independence of all of Ireland, primarily because the English wished to hold Northern Ireland where the majority of English protestant settlers had lived for generations after generations.

	Want a Revolution? (Review of Michael Collins) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		For it was Collins who, in the aftermath of the disastrous Easter Rising of 1916, which proved the hopelessness of open confrontation with Britain's occupying army, virtually invented urban guerrilla warfare, in effect writing the Ur-text on hit-and-run terrorism on Dublin's jostling streets.
		This flawed agreement, which Collins persuasively argued was the best attainable at the time, led first to civil war, then to his own death in an ambush and, finally, to the bloody, endless tragedy that is modern Irish history.
		Collins is presented as revolutionary warriors generally are by their admirers: as a practical soldier, a man of rough humor, mostly inarticulate idealism and, perhaps, a certain unspoken regret about that "talent for mayhem" (as he puts it), which is as much burden as gift.

	Michael Collins (Irish leader) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Collins was a bright and precocious child, with a fiery temper and a passionate nationalism, spurred on by a local flsmith, James Santry, and later, at the Lisavaird National School, by a local school headmaster, Denis Lyons, a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB, an organization Collins would eventually lead).
		After leaving school, the 15-year-old Michael followed in the footsteps of many people from Ireland, especially the Clonakilty area, and moved to London where he was employed by the post office from July 1906.
		Collins in 1919 had a number of roles: in the summer he was elected president of the IRB (and therefore in the doctrine of that organisation making de jure President of the Irish Republic), and in September he was made Director of Intelligence of the Irish Republican Army

	Michael Collins Movie Review
		Depending upon whom you ask, Michael Collins is either a murdering terrorist and traitor to his own people or a national hero of Ireland.
		After the abortive 1916 Easter uprising against the British, Collins (Liam Neeson) comes to realize that the only tactic left to the Irish is an undercover war fought by an invisible army.
		Although the movie itself admits that some events have been =93fictionalized=94 to create a better story, the truth of the Irish revolution has become "Michael Collins" for many people.

	The Michael Collins Story by Triona Carey/ Essays from Ireland - In Motion Magazine
		On the day the Michael Collins movie, written and directed by Neil Jordan, premiered in Ireland, it was impossible to avoid the media hype.
		We may never know the full truth of the period, but the film brings Collins firmly into the mainstream of historical investigation, in from the cold where he had resided for more than half a century.
		The two main parties are still entrenched (Nora Owen, Minister for Justice is a niece of Michael Collins), but an increasingly young electorate has indicated that Civil War divisions no longer concern them.

		One of the inventors of urban guerilla warfare, Collins became a peacemaker when he came to believe that home rule was all that was then attainable from England.
		"Michael Collins" shows a man's use of violence to obtain freedom for his country and his rejection of violence when a substantial portion of his goals, but not complete victory, can be obtained by negotiation.

	FILM REVIEW -- `Collins' Looks Good But Has Chilly Heart
		The Irish mini-epic ``Michael Collins,'' so far the most-hyped movie of the fall season, is handsome, with a big, David Lean feel.
		His very skin lights up with the heat of Collins' quest to beat the British and his voice sizzles with impatience to get the job accomplished no matter how violent the means.
		With the exception of wooden Julia Roberts as Collins' farm-bred girlfriend, the casting is right on the mark for this account of Irish revolutionaries after the 1916 Easter rebellion against England's centuries-old occupation of Ireland.

		But Collins was also murdered by his own people in the end, and with the exception of a few scenes, I found the movie to be more condemning of some Irish actions and attitudes than British.
		Michael Collins, played by Liam Neeson, is a man devoted to the cause of a free Ireland.
		There's also, as a sidebar, the story of Collin's romance with Kitty Kierman, played by Julia Roberts with a generally-passable Irish accent, and his rivalry for her with his best friend, Aidan Quinn's Harry Boland.

		In Michael Collins -- winner in Venice of the Golden Lion, as well as the Best Actor award for Liam Neeson -- Neil Jordan makes a game stab at being different.
		Collins, who was killed at age 31, is one of the least known heroes of the Irish liberation movement; his name was stripped from Irish history books.
		Collins was gunned down when -- heroically or foolishly -- he traveled to Cork to negotiate with the anti-treaty forces.

	'Movie Review' - 'Michael Collins'
		It's a dark legacy and an irony not lost on Collins' admirers, although they insist he never endorsed killing innocents.
		As the British escalated efforts to crush the rebellion, Collins created a fierce strike force to assassinate British agents and enforce internal discipline.
		The film suggests that, when the 31-year-old Collins was assassinated in 1922, he was secretly trying to end the civil war.

		Elliot Goldenthal's score to the movie Michael Collins is one of the best scores I have heard in years.
		It is full of rich, moving scores leading to the funeral/Coda score, which is my favourite piece - Michael Mann, apparently, rejected this piece for the finale to his film HEAT and used Moby's God Moving Over the Face of the Waters instead.
		I was flipping through the movie channels on the TV, when I came across the movie "Michael Collins".
