This film shows how deeply the struggle between the British crown and the Irish population is anchored in cultural memory. The fact that such a film was made in 1911, which clearly has direct references to Irish resistance narratives, is at least interesting for political scientists and historians. Aesthetically, the film does not set out on new shores, not even for this early period of the film, but it is still beautiful to look at and the landscape shots are quite impressive.
