About this product

Product Information

Set in 1916 in Ireland, THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY is the story of Damien (Cillain Murphy), a young Irishman about to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. When his friend is brutally murdered for standing up to a band of British soldiers, Damien abandons his medical career and joins his brother Teddy (Padraic Delany) in the fight for freedom. Small guerrilla groups of Irish farmers begin to wage bloody attacks, forcing the government to negotiate a ceasefire. The Anglo-Irish Peace Treaty is offered, but it puts Teddy and Damien at odds. Teddy believes they should accept the treaty and try to work within the system to avoid further bloodshed, while Damien thinks they should continue to fight until they are completely free of British rule. Whereas the two brothers used to fight side by side, they now find themselves divided, and forced to choose between their familial bond and their ardent beliefs. Murphy and Delany both give standout performances as the battling brothers. Murphy flashes his otherworldly blue eyes and conveys his character's fierce intellect, as well as the deep sadness of his struggle. Delany, for his part, tries to come off as all brawn and bravery, but cannot conceal his sensitive heart--his face glows with rage one minute, then crumples into sorrow the next. Director Ken Loach, who won the Palme d'Or for the film, has created a deeply personal war story, with an attention to detail that is heartbreaking in its realism. The sight of the young men training for battle with hurley bats instead of rifles will make the viewer gasp at the disparity between the warring sides. While some might flinch at the graphic violence depicted, the film stands strong as a raw, human portrait of a deeply troubled moment in history.

THE WIND
This is another retelling of the story of the Anglo-Irish War and the Civil War in Ireland which followed. Just like MICHAEL COLLINS and SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL. This time the story is told from the point of view of some Cork men and women. The original source material is said to be the memoirs of Ernie O'Mally. He was both a physician and a revolutionary, so the dramatic tension between healing and killing is obvious. Just like SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL, though SHAKE HANDS takes place in the Dublin area. And in SHAKE HANDS the (American) medical student ultimately rejects the unreconcilables of the IRA as kill-crazy, while O'Malley went with the Irish rebels against their own Irish Free State. So do our protagonists in THE WIND. All of these Irish films, including THE INFORMER and ODD ...

So do our protagonists in THE WIND. All of these Irish films, including THE INFORMER and ODD MAN OUT, are reexaminations of the tragedy of the Irish Civil War and which side was right and the reasons brothers fought and killed brothers and whether it was worth it over the deep perspective of history. Even at this late day it is impossible to say with any confidence. But all Irish agree the the Brits had to go and that the Irish were divinely inspired heroes of Valhalic stature to be able to make them go. Be prepared to activate the caption feature while viewing this film as the Cork accents are not always easily decypherable by the non-Cork man.

Superb performances, superb film. Loach at his best.
My father was active in the IRA just before "The Troubles." This is the most honest and sensitive portrayal of that sad period in Irish history I've ever encountered. Ironic that an Englishman like Ken Loach could get it so right. Then again, there's probably no director alive who so trusts his actors to do the right thing and whose actors respond accordingly. If you want to understand Irish animosity to the English or why people will die for freedom or if you just love good cinematography, great direction, wonderful acting, and a great story, buy this DVD.My father was active in the IRA just before "The Troubles."

FATEFUL STORY OF IRISH INDEPENDENCE
I love Irish movies as well as most that are not US made.They are not pretty and painted with plastic characters that have had Botox and facelifts. This movie gives one a feel of what the struggles were like, though I am sure they were more horrible than portrayed. The scenery and sets seem so authentic compared to many pictures. One has to have a good ear to pick up conversation in this film as it is definately Gaelic brogue, and often fast. That part could be frustrating to a person that isnt familiar with the speech. The story holds water, and is compelling. I have already passed this movie on to family and friends and all are praising the movie.I love Irish movies as well as most that are not US made.They are not pretty and painted with plastic characters that have had Botox and facelifts.
