Hunger

Well nobody could ever accuse Michael Fassbender is giving half measures here in this graphic and brutal biopic of Irish Republican prisoner Bobby Sands. Shortly after Margaret Thatcher was elected in Britain, he was incarcerated in Belfast’s Maze Prison where his stance against not just the UK but the predominately Unionist views of the population of Northern Ireland at the time were seeing him and his fellow inmates living in what can only be described as squalid (though much of that was self-afflicted) conditions that would not have looked out of place in some South American dictatorship....

Ouch.

Margaret Thatcher was a huge bitch.

If people can watch this movie and not realize that oversized, corrupt governments are pure evil, then something is deeply wrong.

Fassbinder is absolutely phenomenal in this....
