Trip to The Cinema( Dont read if you havent yet seen the film)

Bobby Sands looked highly confused in this particular shot of the new film "Hunger". Maybe it was just the angle I had been looking at it, Maybe he was jus confused or maybe, just maybe he was about to give us all an insight to the Hunger Strike that happened in 1981 on the 1st of March.
It is a highly interesting film especially for anyone who has a particular interest in History as it gives us an insight into what happened during the Hunger Strike we have all heard about somewhere along the way. It is mainly based inside the prison and we dont hear anything about the background of the IRA's struggle for independence from Britain. It is is a very graphic film to say the least as the protest begins by prisoners refusing to wash themselves. There is a 22 minute converstation between Bobby Sands and the local priest he asked to come visit him. He tells the priest of his plan of a hunger strike that all 66 prisoners are going to become involved in the Hunger Strike.
Sadly, This hunger strike is to end Bobbys life as he fails in weakness and health and eventually he jus deteriorates into nothing. A highly touching film and the reality of what has happened in Ireland at the time of the Hunger Strike is very striking.
