and how much it costs
Synopsis
Spanning four tumultuous decades during The Troubles in Northern Ireland. The real-life Dolours Price was married for two decades (1983-2003) to Irish actor Stephen Rea. During that time, Rea appeared in the film for which he is arguably best known in the US: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game. In that film, Rea plays Fergus, a very reluctant and ambiguous member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA)—the same organization with which Price had been associated for many years. The book Say Nothing is a brilliant and in-depth examination of the why.
The show is bleakly performed and well-crafted
The series follows the book very closely and communicates the underlying themes and tragic lessons of that brutal period of occupation. The acting and casting choices capture the essence of the people the series is about. It manages to both inform and entertain, and tells a story that has rarely been told. The detail of the people and places is fantastic. One can marvel at the production values and the historicity of the piece in each episode.
She comes across as very likeable
Little things like the brand of cigarettes or the way they were served, along with a certain character picking up an Armalite AR18, were really nice touches. The real Dolours Price was known to be funny and charming, and it shows. Many of the characters are very likeable, even the ones you wouldn’t think you would be. It’s a very human, humanely told story. It helps one, unrelated to the co-worker, understand the motivations behind why someone would take up arms against another.
It wasn’t really about Catholics versus Protestants
It was just an arbitrary line that was drawn to divide the Irish working class and the working poor and pit them against each other. Also, there was a comment from another review about immigrants invading Ireland. There were immigrants who fought for a free and united Ireland. It was never about how you spell your name or which church to pray in. It was about poor people fighting for equal rights and to be free, and that is what this story is about and the price that is paid for that fight.
To compare the influx of immigrants from troubled lands to Oliver Cromwell is to scorn the names of those who suffered and sacrificed
The moment we turn our backs on those who seek refuge or refuse to comfort them, we are no better than those who mocked and ridiculed our ancestors who left Ireland for other lands, like America, where the Irish were also not welcome.
