    I am from the Irish countryside, and believe me, these kind of characters are still around. Particularly the older farmers. They are utterly obsessed with land, would literally do anything to get and keep land. Families have been broken up and suicides committed over land.
    Where I came from, there was a Bull McCabe on every road.

      Except when you look at who wins these faux Hollywood awards, they no longer mean much. It's all political now. Richard Harris is a great actor, no matter what Hollywood elites say. I find it interesting that he spend his last years in a number of Christian-themed films, though here his performance is as good an attack on the RCC's hypocrisy as any film out there.

    The field was based on a real murder case that took place in County Kerry in the early 1960s. The man who was murdered was called Moss Moore and his neighbour was the chief suspect, was a man called Dan Foley. The case was never solved although everyone was sure where the guilt lay. Richard Harris is dressed exactly as Dan Foley is in old photos and impressive as Harris is, Foley was even bigger ,heavier and broader than Harris while his neighbour was a small slight man. It;s believed he was murdered iin a dispute over a strip of land just a few yards wide. J.B. Keane wrote the play and he was present when much of the movie was being filmed. He was unhappy with some of the changes that had to be made to turn the play into a viable film but he had nothing but praise for Richard Harris.

But I didn't know about the origins of the Film,but it certainly doesn't surprise Me. We used to hear many an story about these kind of disputes with plenty redacted of course and For very good reasons..When I met my Uncle over in the States(which is where I live at present)He relayed a Story, which didn't end well for someone..And the intro was typical..."You.Know ur Father was a Peaceful man"..No Satalites or Cell phones in those days.So people had to tread carefully...

      Typical of the Irish Catholic church at the time, forget about the poor people of the parish for a fat donation to the parish dues from some blow in. The Bull 100% correct no priest died in the famine. I as child in the 60's remember walking to mass on a Sunday morning past the parochial house to the smell of a cooked breakfast and we as kids in hunger after fasting from the night before to receive holy communion. Our parents and my brother's and sisters would go without during the week on basic things so as the priest would have the collection money. What every parishioner gave the previous week was read out off the alter every Sunday. People were shamed into giving as much has humanly possible. No wonder the wheel has gone full circle in Catholic Ireland. Best movie performance ever by Harris and Hurt too

    The Bull calls the field "my child" (0:21). His own child Seamie committed suicide because the field could not support the family and this would mean that Tadhg would have had to emigrate when he was older. This element to the movie (which is not in the original play) is incredibly powerful. Much of the angst and anger in the Bull comes from the pain of Seamie's suicide. Even after the murder of the Yank we see the Bull cradle the dead man and call out Seamie's name. The Bull tells the priest that he brought the dead field/child to life through his hard work and devotion. Sadly he could not save his own children and because of his total devotion to the land he drove his children from him. Seamie killed himself and Tadhg later tells him that he never wanted the field! The closing scene has the Bull vainly trying to protect Tadhg's body from the waves. Almost Grecian in its tragic ending. One of my all time favourite movies.

    I've always wondered about the message this film was trying to portray. Scenes like this make me think it was sympathetic to people like Bull McCabe, showing the importance of tradition and the responsibility we have to our ancestors (and descendants).
    On the other hand, the ending [slight spoiler] seemed to show that he was in the wrong. Or maybe the film wasn't trying to take one side over the other so much as it was just displaying a tragic, yet complex, story with a basis in reality.

      I think the Bull is both a protector of tradition who deserves respect and a lunatic.....key is when his mother dies and he wants to bring in the hay rather than call the priest....his father has tears in his eyes when he hears this.....is it pride in his sons love of the field, or shame in his disregard for his own mothers death.........I think this is the whole queation of the story..........I don't know the answer. And that is why this is a beautiful peace of story telling

      it's some imagery, the bull is standing over his father, who is over his dead mother. the father has tears in his eyes and the bull thinks it's because of the fathers gra for bulls love of the Field! the bull has guilt in this scene.

      He was wrong. Murder is always wrong. And he put land first over God. He didnt care if he saw his mother in hell. So he is wrong
      However, most of feelings on the matter are correct. And this is what widows do, they get rid of the land. U should ensure that the land passes to the male since his name is your own and he ought to have children. Land is worthless if u have no kids

    Jim Sheridan talked about this scene recently. It was the first thing they shot for the film. Richard Harris, being from a theatre background, did a very dramatic rendition on the first take, which really impressed the crew, who applauded, but it wasn't what Sheridan wanted at all. So after the applause died down, Sheridan said, "Well, that was just about the worst fucking overacting I've ever seen!"
    It was rocky between the two for the shooting of the film, but I think the tension really added something to the performance in the end.

    When the bull told the priest and his American friend, in no uncertain terms, that if they thought that he was going to face his mother, in heaven or in hell, without that field, that they had another thing coming, that right there should have been their cue to either make the bull disappear forever or heed his words, make peace and work out a deal, he could have easily let the bull purchase the field and then using his vast wealth make the bull a very attractive offer or have the bull lease him the land, either ways the bull ends up financially much better off, can buy more land and face his mother a proud son.

    It feels very relevant to me, especially after the death my granny, leaving it to one of my uncles but then goes to my mother after his day since he has no children and would've potentially given it to wife, who in turn would give it her nephews and nieces but none of my other relatives, who ironically turned against my mother for not wavering her rights.
    I fear for my family as we could one day be on the receiving end of some violence.
