“While studying in Ireland, the subject of movies about – or filmed in – Ireland came up often with the locals. From Dublin to Galway, the movie mentioned most often was u0026quot;The Field.u0026quot; Controversial and yet considered to be one of the truest representations of the Irish people of that era. Itu0026#39;s also one of the few stories told about those who stayed behind during the famine, and survived. If youu0026#39;re looking for a feel-good movie about leprechauns, this ainu0026#39;t it. If youu0026#39;re up for u0026quot;Gangs of New Yorku0026quot; or u0026quot;Legends of the Fall,u0026quot; you can handle it. Incredible performances by the late, Great Richard Harris and Sean Bean.”
