I thought I was going to see a Western, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a movie that actually got me to learn about something. Apparently, I had a glaring hole in my college education because I had never heard of Sean O'Casey until I watched this movie. AND I TOOK AN IRISH history class. That class unfortunately was all names and dates and timelines...this movie along with a Internet search on this movie told me more about O'Casey than that 3-credit course at a major university. Yeats loved him so that was enough to make me wonder why. I did a quick Internet search and you can read about O'Casey many places. I really found this article the most interesting though: www.threemonkeysonline.com/article2.php?id=279
