Imagine if somebody made a film with that title about an amoral multi multi murderous piece of shit but was NOT accompanied by a cheery "good old days" soundtrack and many reassurances that he's basically a decent, respectful, honourable guy ala Scorcese treatment?
The anti-racism brigade would have a field day, especially in the age of wokeness - it'd never make it past the censors with that title. That is PROOF that the Irishman in question is very far indeed away from being portrayed in anything approaching a wholly negative light.
EgoDeath - I'm a massive fan of the Hellraiser series, Candyman trilogy and the films of David Cronenberg, so really no need to confine myself to the Disney Channel.
Well, it’s a period piece, so that pretty neatly disposes of your point about the soundtrack.
Exactly what in the depiction of Frank Sheeran leads you to think he’s being portrayed as decent, respectful [sic] or honourable?
It’s neither reasonable nor accurate to portray an historic person in a ‘wholly negative light’.
I’m beginning to question whether you’ve actually seen this film.
