Review of An Everlasting Piece

The characters and the humour of this film are very recognisable (you might miss the meaning of some jokes if you are unfamiliar with life in N. Ireland). Definitely a story written by a local! Overall, far better than many N. Irish comedies that tend to contain too many primitive jokes. But I have one question to ask: how come to sell the wigs to the IRA would be "a betrayal of friendship" (with a protestant), but to sell the wigs to the British army is OK? Now, if the heroes would have sold the wigs to BOTH the British army and the IRA, at least, that would have been a genuine attempt to be just neutral businessmen. What we see in the film, is somewhat inconsistent logic typical for SDLP (a local Catholic party) voters who pretend to be apolitical, but in fact have chosen sides in the conflict just as all the others. I bet that the script writers votes for SDLP. You learn those things very quickly when you live here.
