Documentary-style drama showing the events that lead up to the tragic incident on January 30, 1972 in the Northern Ireland town of Derry when a protest march led by civil rights activist Ivan Cooper was fired upon by British troops, killing 13 protesters and wounding 14 more.



Bloody Sunday (2002)

January 30, 1972. This date was supposed to mark a significant achievement for the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland. The peaceful march through Derry should have occurred without any major confrontations or violence. Unfortunately, a tragic sequence of events left 13 civillians dead and another 14 seriously injured. The British government was determined to stop the "hooliganism" that had left some of their own soldiers dead in recent months. With orders to act with extreme aggression, the paratroopers fired live ammunition into the crowd after reportedly being fired upon. These supposed shots have never been confirmed, but a common feeling is that British soldiers acted without provocation and started a massacre.

Bloody Sunday (2002)

Bloody Sunday shares this view of British aggression and provides an up-close depiction of the disastrous events. Much of the action appears through the eyes of Parliament member Ivan Cooper (James Nesbitt), a determined Protestant who leads the civil rights marches. He spends much of the film's early moments spreading the word about the march and drawing citizens like a good politician to support his actions. Believing that soldiers would not disrupt a peaceful march, Cooper feels confident even when hearing reports of troops occupying the streets. While trying to cater both to tougher revolutionaries like Bernadette Devlin (Mary Moulds) and the common citizen, Cooper walks very close to dangerous ground. When some young kids start throwing rocks at nearby soldiers, the march and its representatives quickly fall into extreme trouble.

Executive-produced by James Sheridan (In the Name of the Father, The Boxer), and directed by Paul Greengrass (The Theory of Flight), this film tackles the events of Bloody Sunday in quick, kinetic fashion. The shaky, handheld cameras inject us directly into the action and remove the typical barriers. In similar fashion to Saving Private Ryan or Black Hawk Down, the events seem much more realistic when viewed from this intimate perspective. Greengrass avoids using any lighting, crane shots, or other filmmaking devices to heighten the intensity. The only noticeable interruptions are quick fade-outs that occur every few minutes and provide a brief and especially needed respite.

Bloody Sunday (2002)

Much of this film's success is derived from its use of multiple perspectives that provide a broader view. The tale begins with Gerry Donaghy (Declan Duddy), a young man who tells his sister not to worry because it will be peaceful. We observe as he shares a tender moment with his girlfriend and then joins his friends on the streets the next morning. After viewing these events, Gerry's unfortunate fate will not come as a major surprise. Another intriguing element is the views of the British officers preparing their troops for aggressive actions. Major General Ford (Tim Pigott-Smith) stands behind the barricades and urges them to use whatever means necessary to stop the hooligans. This enthusiasm trickles down to the paratroopers on the streets, although some are not so excited. The lead officers make their plans on a large map similar to fighting a hostile war. Sadly, their targets here are women, children, and innocent young men.

Bloody Sunday (2002)

Bloody Sunday features, in large percentage, unprofessional actors who give the tale a much-needed realism. Certain of these participants actually walked in the original march, which probably made filming especially eerie for them. James Nesbitt provides a stirring emotional centerpiece and makes Cooper entirely believable. Although this picture obviously condemns the British actions, it does make their disturbing ideas partially understandable. They do not appear as caricatures or typical movie villains; instead, the leaders portray the sad military idea of "shoot first, and ask questions later." The issues of Bloody Sunday are still being resolved today with a new inquiry that hopefully will shed more light into a tragic date in British history.

Bloody Sunday (2002)

It is an unfortunate sign that supposedly democratic governments (including the United States) continue to feel threatened by their citizens' peaceful protests. Bloody Sunday offers a definite warning towards this type of action, which can necessitate more violence. The massacre in Derry helped to spur the future activities of the IRA and gave it plenty of new members itching to fight the British government. Paul Greengrass has crafted a remarkable picture that feels amazingly human while portraying a stunning and depressing event.
