Title: rubbish on rubbish
Product review: The people who have written reviews of Michael Collins are as ignorant of Irish history as is Neil Jordan. I am inclined to think of Jordan as a graduate of the Oliver Stone school of history. Michael Collins is as much a stew of lies and fairytales as is any movie made by Stone. the story of the origins of the Irish Civil War is a complete fantasy. Collins did not head the irish delegation to the talks that led to the Treaty of 1922. Most reviewers have correctly identified Julia Roberts' laughable performance as the weakest part of the movie. I am no great admirer of Dev, but the sinister caricature presented in this movie is grotesque. Some reviewers seem to have fallen for the lie that a British armoured car entered Croke Park during a football game and began firing on the crowd.
