Trivia:
The character Ned Broy, played by Stephen Rea in the film, is in fact a composite of the historical figures Ned Broy, who was a double agent in the police, and Dick McKee, who was Commandant of the Dublin Brigade of the IRA and hence a central figure in planning intelligence operations with Collins. Broy survived the war, but McKee was captured the night before the attack on British agents, tortured and shot. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: Collins' personal car has the registration "15 D1" which is the format of registration adopted in the Republic of Ireland in 1987. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Joe O'Reilly: [dictating a letter] You've got to think of him. The way he was... He was what the times demanded. And life without him seems impossible. But he's dead. And life is possible. He made it possible.

I've seen/watched Micahel Collins approximately five times or more. When I watched this film this is wanted alerted me the most,the History side of Michael Collins, the Irish hatred for the British, the Easter Rising(Dublin 1916, the Irish countryside and the British occupation of Dublin for 752 years(1170-1922)and also the British attempting to hold on to its most troublesome colony Ireland. The reason I gave this film 9 out of 10 stars because I really enjoy History, Irish History and even though the British were depicted as evil sadists I understood both sides of the story. My favorite scenes were the Easter Rising inside the Dublin Post Office, Black and Tans in Croke Park and the Civil War on the streets of Dublin. So all in all Michael Collins is a great film 9 stars!!!!!!!!!! If any Americans read this the word "favorite" is the Australian spelling considering I'm Australian.
