Movie Recommendation- Bloody Sunday

BLOODY SUNDAY (2002)
Having recently watched Paul Greengrass’ Green Zone, I’d like to take the opportunity to guide people away from it and toward his much better, earlier film, Bloody Sunday.  The approach he would later use to devastating effect in United 93 seemed to have emerged fully formed here in the telling of an Irish civil rights protest massacred by British troops in 1972.  Newsreel footage of actual atrocity always works on me in a way that both ups my adrenaline and nauseates me simultaneously and Bloody Sunday works like that for almost two hours.  Its unrelenting honesty is as noteworthy an achievement as any special effects extravaganza.
