The Wind That Shakes The Barleyhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460989/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460989/ This film illustrates that imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism. http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/ The film begins by showing the brutality, and cruelity of the British. Two brothers, Teddy and Damien, join the Irish Republican Army in order to fight for independence from British dominance. Towards the end however, a treaty is signed giving Ireland home rule only as a dominion. Damien, and other socialists, however reject this treaty and continue fighting for an independent socialist republic. The socialist Republicans believed that unless the capitalistic social conditions are aboloished, Ireland would never truely be freed of the wage slavery and poverty, which charectorised british rule. The film ends when Teddy, who is an officer in the army of the Irish Free State, captures Damien and later executes him. The situation between Damien and Teddy, during the Irish Civil War, remind me of a song about two brothers during another civil war. This song was recorded by the "Cottars". http://www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/51366.html
