I watched this when I was 10 not knowing anything about Collins. But my dad loved the Irish and the Big Fella. So when I saw this scene I started tearing up because I knew he was about to die. When he finally died I couldn't stop crying. Being embarrassed because I was crying in front of my dad. I tried to stop but I looked over and he had tears in his eyes to. Ireland lost a fucking hero this day!

Eamon DeValera caused the death of Michael Collins. Because of De Valera, he & his followers started the Civil War in Ireland. How pleased the British were to have Irish brothers against brother. Families torn apart because they would not accept the treaty that Collins agreed to. The treaty that allowed the 6 counties in the North to remain under British Rule. As Collins signed the treaty he knew, he said it’s like signing my death warrant. The treaty allowed the 20 remaining counties to form The Republic of Ireland. It should have been a joyful celebration, instead it turned into a bloody Civil War. Michael Collins was assassinated by the men of the North who supported DeValera. ‘A Terrible Beauty was born.’ My father, James J O’Sullivan was born in Athea, Ireland August 1896. He fought alongside Michael Collins from the Easter Rebellion 1916 till Collin’s death. Devastated by this news, he left Ireland in 1922 and sailed to Canada.

@@user-lt5zf4xh7d - There were more Protestant northern Irish people in those 6 counties than in the whole of Ireland. Both Michael Collins and Eamon De Valera knew that if the the 6 counties were integrated then those protestants would have a constant democratic majority. It was therefore the only feasible solution to partition and Collins was setup by De Valera to do the necessary while he kept himself 'pure' for later political gain...but HE knew that the truth would eventually emerge historically to show his craftiness and guile and the part he really played. As for "the Empire" the British literally had protestant northern Irish threatening armed uprising against Catholics AND the British government to force themselves to be kept under that British rule. Quite the impossible quandary for Britain itself. And looking at the extra billions that were spent in northern Ireland compared to other parts of the United Kingdom since those times, it proves the price of Empire can be costly for ALL parties and as hard to withdraw from as it was to conquer?🤔

THE magnitude of what Michael Collins accomplished in such a short time is hard to imagine The British Empire was renowned for its intelligence it's spies They didn't think anyone least of a Irish Paddy could have the slightest chance against them especially when it came to intelligence They prided themselves in knowing every move of both friend and foe To think that a young man could put together an intelligence network to not only rival them but to beat them at their own game People today don't seem to realise the magnitude of that achievement And to think how he was treated is very painful still to this Almost 100 years after he was killed REST EASY IN PEACE MICHAEL COLLINS we didn't deserve you

You know Hugh we drove the British out of the country. Well, most of it. The Irish were the first small nation to do that in the British empire. Collins played his part in the fight for Irish freedom. Just like any man that gave his life for Ireland. Micheal Collins was killed because his ego strayed outside his field of expertise. He made it very clear to everyone that they were going to stop and fight if they were shot at. Not very smart considering that the ambushers always chose an area to their advantage. He was winning the civil war and he made a calculated mistake in that he wanted to show he was in control of everywhere in the country. He's give you a slap around the head if he thought you had pity for him.

My grandfather was always a Collins man and was a volunteer in the Cork brigade during the war of independence. In the civil war, he was still in the Cork brigade but still admired his friend Michael Collins. He always blamed De Valera for the killing of Michael Collins, and given his background, I suspect he had some contemporary knowledge on the subject. My grandfather always referred to Eamon (George) De Valera as "That Spanish Bastard". De Valera was born in the US, to an Irish mother and Spanish Father, so not really Irish.

Michael Collins, 1920: "Are we all yet educated to be free? Has not the greater number oF us still the speech of the foreigner on our tongues? Are not even we, who are proudly calling ourselves Gaels, little more than imitation Englishmen?...The survival of some connection with our former enemy, since it has no power to chain us, should act as a useful irritant. It should be a continual reminder of how near we came to being, indeed, a British nation. No one now has any power to make us that but ourselves alone....The biggest task will be the restoration of the language…Irish will scarcely be our language in this generation, not even perhaps in the next. But until we have it again on our tongues and in our minds, we are not free….”

That is the pure truth, for with language comes culture, and with culture the notion of self awareness. We have a similar problem. However, you are one people and that is your asset. My respects to a hero, from someone hailed from O'Higgins-land at the ends of the world.

I don't think so. The Unionists in the north were pretty determined to stay British and the 1922 offensive led by Collins proved the North was well equipped to stop any invasion. Plus the Conservatives in Britain were at the end of their rope, the Irish Free State within the Commonwealth was seen as too far for them, if the North had been given up too it would've caused renewed calls to send the entire British Army in and reverse everything that had been achieved.

There was not one point for Julia Roberts to be in this film other than a bullshit hollywood exec wanting us to take here-funny that her role kind of reflects, paradoxically, the treaty in some ways, giving up soverignty for the promise of a unified country was like accepting awful JR in her role as Kitty Kiernan. We sold out to the Brits as we sold out our culture to some ingrate in Lah Lah land.

+Marcus Maher: Julia Roberts was cast in Neil Jordan's film to sell movie tickets in the United States, because she was a big box office draw in the 1990s. It was likely part of the deal the director made with Warner Bros. to get the financing for the $25 million project, because the Irish share of the film's production costs was only perhaps $3 million at best. Her supporting role was in the initial screenplay was minimal, and was expanded only when the Anglo-Irish negotiations over Northern Ireland broke down during film production in 1995. Warner Bros. pressured Jordan to expand the love story aspect between Kitty Kiernan and Michael Collins, in order to downplay the film's own account of a similar breakdown in Anglo-Irish negotiations in 1922. Personally, while I don't think Ms. Roberts was necessarily miscast as Kitty Kiernan, an Irish actress in the part would certainly have been better all around.

I don't see how geopolitical issues with regard to NI would have played a part in this, are you telling me some Exec in Dummywood understood the issues between the Provos and the Unionists in the North...seriously, and the sweet sight of JR would bring the nascent parties to their senses...haha...yeah.. that tagged on love interest got the Good Friday agreement signed pronto.Let me tell you the reality as an Irishman and it was a financial decision and it went like this "You know what Neil...Julia wants more screen time..." Jordan interrupts "But rich Hollywood exec I've not written her character.. "exec interrupts forcefully "I REPEAT....Julia wants her character expanding...capish Paddy"!!!...that's probably how it played out!

The Northern Irish people VOTED to stay in the United Kingdom in the 1973 referendum and today polls show the same desire to stay in UK. Plus, the hard reality that many won't speak of is that all those protestant northern Irish voters would massively upset the balance of political power in a United Ireland and destroy the southern Irish catholic powerbase. This was a fact Michael Collins understood back in 1922 when he agreed to sign the 6 counties away because they had more protestant voters in the 6 counties at the time than the rest of the country and would have held dangerous sway over ANY unified Irish democracy! Not to mention those loyalist protestants had sworn an uprising of their own if forcibly separated from the UK at the time? So it was always a material necessity to partition the country for ANY truly free Irish Free State to survive and both Collins and De Valera knew this, but Collins served his countries needs and De Valera served his own political best interests by keeping himself 'pure' in the public eye. History knows his guile and its not the first time a military man has been played craftily by a natural politician.

Does anyone know the story behind the filming/editing of this sequence? I have always wanted to know if the irregular that slips at 00:51 did that on purpose to show urgency/realism or if he just wiped-out and they kept the camera rolling. My guess is the latter. I've always imagined the other extras slapping him on the back in the pub after filming wrapped and having a good laugh. Haha.
