44/28

The same organization that Price was involved with for many years

Scenario

Four turbulent decades during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The real Dolours Price was married for two decades (1983-2003) to Irish actor Stephen Rea. During that time, Rea appeared in the film for which she is probably best known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game. In that film, Rea plays Fergus, an extremely reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

and we meet

As Episode 1 of "Say Nothing" (2024 release from the UK; 9 episodes, 41-50 minutes each) opens, it is "Belfast 1972"; and we are reminded that this is "based on a true story". A woman is taken from her house, leaving her child behind. We don't know why or who took her. Then we go to "Dublin, Ireland, 29 years later".

At this point we are 10 minutes into episode 1

Dolours Price. He is being interviewed as part of an oral history of the Troubles. A couple of comments: There have been many films and TV series and documentaries about the Troubles before, but I don't remember ever seeing anything like "Say Nothing". It brings the 3 decades that were the Troubles to life with a fresh perspective.

Beware: this miniseries is not for the faint of heart

The series follows a number of events and jumps back and forth in time, but somehow it brings out the main themes of the Troubles more clearly than ever before. While the divisions and battles between the Protestants/British Army and the Catholics/Pro-Irish get a lot of attention of course, there are also less obvious issues, such as the missing IRA. There are many solid performances, none more so than Lola Petticrew as Dolours. By the end of it all, I felt like I had been emotionally invested.

I recommend checking it out and drawing your own conclusions

This miniseries is captivating from start to finish, even if some moments are uncomfortable. (As an aside, within minutes of watching episode 1 I realized I needed English subtitles because I was missing about half of what I was hearing (Northern Irish accents and all...) "Say Nothing" started streaming on Hulu. A week ago I read a positive review of it in the New York Times, and then I found out that it currently has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and for good reason. I watched 3 episodes of this tonight, and I was simply blown away. https://kobayashishorinryu.com/2024/11/28/vs-super-xevious-mystery-of-2024-gump-torrent-download/
