    A good documentary film, but ruined by an excessively loud and intrusive soundtrack. What is the necessity for a soundtrack, while someone is narrating? Do you like music played loudly, while you are speaking?- -. Hoping you will incorporate the suggestion into your next upcoming videos. Thank you and best wishes.

    Easter 1916 is the birth of Irish independence but this movie shows how and why it turned out to be such a tragic event on all sides, the line by WB Yeats about the birth of a terrible beauty showing it perfectly. Weapons had to be obtained from Germany but weren't, Irish lads were killed in France in what we all know now to have been the most absurd and senseless war imaginable, British imperial mentality was at its apex, and it is not easy to coordinate a military coup against a massively mobilized larger army - when civilians themselves are largely divided and afraid anyway to be seen as 'rebels'. In Halifax, Canada, it took decades before in the 2010s commemoration of Easter 1916 was finally officially recognized when you talked about Irish history. And yet out of the ruins and executions came the Irish republic we know today. Maybe the first of countries colonized by England to claim its independence after the USA. Great movie, I just wish we could see more.

    I was surprised by the number of characters speaking as gaelige actually! Irish wasn't taught widely in schools at that time and the average Dubliner spoke English only, as they'd done for generations. Conradh na Gaelige (the Gaelic League) ran Irish classes, but even with those classes, few would have achieved the fluency of so many in the film. If the characters upon whom the film is based spoke Irish, then portraying them doing so would be entirely accurate. Some participants in the Rising, like Pearse and Ceannt, could speak Irish. But if the characters only spoke English - like most Dubs of the time - having them speak fluent Irish not only misrepresents history, but also the linguistic culture of those brave Dubliners.

    Irish, Welsh, and Scots Gaelic are regarded as Celtic languages which has two branches, Brythonic (Welsh, Cornish) and Goidelic (Irish, Scots Gaelic). They're not related to any Germanic language, though there was some crossover with ancient Norse with the Gaels of Shetland to produce the now dead language Norn. English is actually more closely related to Germanic than any of the Celtic languages.

    It was a way to keep sensitive information from untrustworthy (and *potentially* untrustworthy) people. Like a secret code (think Navajo code-talkers helping the U.S. win WWII just by speaking their native language). The really baffling thing is that this shows ALL the Irish Volunteers speaking the Irish language ALL the time. Admittedly I wasn’t there, but even though the Easter Rising was over a century ago, Ireland (and especially Dublin) was very anglicized at this point. Even very patriotic Irish people were probably not that fluent in what used to be their mother tongue (or at least they alternated between the two languages like multilingual ppl today). Which is sad....the British , over centuries of colonial rule, tried to ban public use and education of the Irish language, and they were pretty dang successful. I think they use the language so heavily here to help the viewer distinguish between sides - both English and Irish people look similar (ethnically), were wearing similar brown/olive green uniforms, and were involved in a chaotic military uprising that didn’t involve opposite sides on different sides of a giant battlefield.

    My father was born in Ireland in 1907, my mother in 1914. Neither of them spoke much Irish. The language had been destroyed years before for a variety of reasons, not all the fault of the British. To reinvigorate the language and make Ireland more Irish, the "Gaelic League" was formed in 1893. The aim of the League was to promote the teaching of Irish throughout Ireland. Many took to it, but many didn't. There were leaders of the Rising who spoke Irish. Eamonn Ceannt comes to mind. Not sure all did. I can tell you that very few of my relatives in Ireland today (and I have a LOT) speak Irish even though it is mandatory in the schools. There are places in Ireland called "Gaeltacht" which are parts of the Ireland where Irish is supposed to be predominantly spoken. The people there are encouraged to do this by funding from the government. Sadly, at least in one Gaeltacht, the language is still dying. I was in the Donegal Gaeltacht about 10 years ago and the lady of the house at the B&B I stayed at told me that the young people were turning away from Irish. It was people of her generation (now in their sixties) who were the last bastion of the language. Whether that is just one woman's opinion I don't know, but I've heard many Irish say that they "can't stand the sound of it"! However, to your point, it makes sense that many didn't speak Irish and some who did.

    My father's mother's brothers were involved in the civil war that followed. I will not name them but there is a cell in Kilmainham Gail with his name on the cell door. Only two men ever escaped from the prison & he was my Grandmothers brother. We were told never to talk about it, I know how they got out of the prison but my lips will be kept tight until I die. Ireland has a sad history, there was always a whistle-blower. Things would have been much different if it was not for the first WW, up to 200,000 Irishmen fought for the English in France. If only half of them stayed at home there would be no trouble in the north part of the island today. I feel sad when I see so many Irish names playing sport for other countries knowing where the names had come from, but some of these people haven't got a clue where their names came from. I have been praying to God that I'll see my country be free from the crown of England since I was a schoolboy in the early 1960s.

    The Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey gave politicians and Northern Ireland's mi5 leave to use me in talks with Sinn Fein/IRA in the early 1990's to bring about the initial 1994 Cease Fire, when they did not have me to use at all. When Mr Gerry Adams was asked by reporters the reason for the Cease Fire, he replied, "A piece of the jigsaw puzzle fell into place," meaning me. George Carey at the same time used me to introduce a liberal re-marriage of the divorced into the Church of England and to persuade Dublin of a divorce law, when he did not have me to use in that way, either. I wrote to George Carey to say that I was the central leading person in God's plan for His Kingdom in these countries of the British Isles, to see if there was any interest, and because I was having a terrible struggle. From 1973-1981, the Roman Catholic religious world refused to know. The Anglo-Irish relationship and marriage do come into God's plan for His Kingdom in my family. But, the institutional religious world, both Roman Catholic and Church of England, and the British and Irish political worlds do not fit in this jigsaw puzzle. I am not a piece in the jigsaw puzzles of the institutional religious world and political world.

(the usual thing I'm afraid, spies and informers). Not to understand this is to completely miss the British view point which puts a completely different perspective on things when you consider the real British intent and plot that goes back to Oct 1915.

    The courageous rebellion seemed doomed from the start. There were insufficient guns, men and ammunition. Vital communications were non-existent, as there were no radios at that time. Without communications, the operation was doomed to failure as the resistance could not be co-ordinated. Also, men should have taken 3 days rations and water, necessary for fighting in built-up areas. There was a total lack of heavy weaponry. Mortars would have been very useful, but were absent. Machine guns were absent, and these were badly needed.

    Dealing with the rebellion or dealing with the rebels after the rebellion, which are two different things? Firstly the rebels actions were not supported by the Irish population, in fact local people swore at and spat on the rebels as they were being arrested, so the Rising was not popular with the Irish people let alone the British and unlike the SS the Brits did provide courts martial process for the rebels...that's one difference for starters and of course 69 rebels had the death sentence commuted to short term imprisonment, I don't think the SS would have done that do you? Let's remember also before we start throwing stones that Irish Free Staters executed far more brave Irish Republicans 1922-1923 than the Brits did in 1916.
