Forget Michael Collins and all the revised history stuff. Why are we not making films about our TRULY great men (and women)? Who first split the atom? Who invented the war submarine? Who devised the Kelvin temperature scale? Who invented modern chemistry? Who invented radiotherapy? Who invented cheese and onion crips? All Irishmen! So why are we not making films about these people instead of crap like
Parked? The biopic was a staple genre in the classic Hollywood period. Sadly, in Ireland we make dull movies about dull people. Ignorance and a blinkered outlook on Irish history is to blame.
