[NEWN]

Missing From movie "Michael Collins"
#1A) CAIRO Gang brainchild of Sir Henry Wilson-not Churchill {Black and tans was Churchill's idea that went wrong}
#1) THat the "Oath of Allegience" was to the irish Free State and not an Oath of Allegience to the British Crown
#2) Collins plan to conduct Guerrilla warfare in the North
#3) The fact that "Northern Ireland" became de facto de jure "part" of the "Irish Free State" for 1 week-6 December 1922 to 13 December 1922

Eh yeah but to be fair, they added Dev having The Big Fella being taken out...

It's a bit much to expect 100% accuracy from a Hollywood movie anyway.

#2) Collins plan to conduct Guerrilla warfare in the North

There is some support for this theory among historians

Julia Roberts's Longford accent trumps all of the above as a howler.

Still a great film though.

And her "which one of you gunslingers is going to ask me to dance" line....

....and having a nervous breakdown and weeping over it while hiding behind the ditch......I still think Eoghan Harris' 'tallyho' script would have made for a better film (funnier, at least), but the schemers and begrudgers, the crucifixion-by-media hordes of journowhores and provolackeys, the unreconstructed simpering little liberal leftie whingers and their shameless band of hangers-on, the champagne socialists, and those who have never had the cultural capacity to gaze into the basic decent heart of rural, hearty heartland Irish souls and see there his own pure Gaelic soul reflected, those bastards!......they kept me off RTE for years.....

sorry...(had an Eoghan moment there, apologies)...
