Yes I'll agree Liam Neeson acted the part of Michael Collins excellently. In fact he looks very similar to the great man... It remains one of my favourite films
So funny as when I was teaching myself Gaelic all my Dad had to comment was 'you've a Cork accent'? WHAT IS WRONG WITH CORK? I wanted to reply. Thanks to this site (my Irish) too many accents going on! SO ... DO I CARE? DOING IT ANYWAY.
As an American of Polish & Ukrainian descent, the Big Fella is my hero. Wish there was someone just like him for Ukraine. My Mama's homeland needs heroes like Michael

Really ... how fabulous. Just my nan Limerick side was against the uprising but SHE SO DID LOVE COLLINS. So, I had to understand why. Nan even chucked my best friend Bernadette from the house as she DID NOT LIKE Madge Daly! So, needed to understand. This film helped.
That's what the 'real Americans' used to say about the millions of irishmen that fled to the USA in the 19th century. Don't judge people because they want better lives for themselves.

Neeson is a racist. Collins was killed by the IRA because he betrayed Ireland.
Collins was killed by the IRA because he had betrayed Ireland.
Neeson is a vile racist.
I love Michael Collins my hero and to me the Greatest Irishman ever 💕
I am not Irish and Michael Collins is someone I vastly admired and as an egalitarian I class everyone as EQUALS.

You mean moron and Neeson's risible film was absurd.
@@MrLorenzovanmatterho Mick and Liam are legends.
The racist was far too old to play the traitor Collins.
@@MarkHarrison733 he not a racist he was expressing he's feelings at the time.
Michael Collins is Irelands greatest hero. Never forget that.
He was killed by the IRA because he betrayed Ireland.
He was a patriot and an outstanding military leader. I don’t doubt he would have been a superb Taoiseach.
He was a terrorist and a traitor.
My family were from Cork and were proud supporters of Michael Collins. He is my hero and was, without doubt, Irelands greatest hero. R.I.P Mr Collins.
Ireland's greatest traitor.

Well done to The Big Fella ! From Derry City in the North West.
For betraying Ireland?
a hero for Ireland. Rip Michael.
I love this watched it hundreds of times
As an American of Polish & Ukrainian descent, the Big Fella is my hero. Wish there was someone just like him for Ukraine. My Mama's homeland needs heroes like Michael
Ukraine was part of the Axis.
Wish I was there. .I'll be there for the century. RIP. BIG FELLA
Big Liam looks quite like Michael Collins. A great Irishman indeed.
He was far too old.
Have visited there several times, true hero
Ireland's finest.
As someone born and raised in the USA, I did not know Michael Collins but because Liam Neeson was him on film, I was introduced to this amazing man.
Ohh 😮 to have a real leader like him today.
But now we have Leo.
It’s better than sinn fein dealing with cartels

Collins betrayed the IRA.
Collins knew Ireland would be annihilated if he rejected the treaty.
The IRA believed the treaty was not what they fought for. Both sides were right.
He said, did he not, it was to be a stepping stone to a united Ireland........
And look at SF now. Biggest traitors to the flag.
