   Crying Game, The (1992)

   The real "secret" of this film portraying the struggles of the Irish
   Republican Army, is its reactionary picture of gender and national
   conflict -- despite pithy metaphors on the meaning of life and human
   "nature." By this theory, there are two kinds of people, oppressors
   and complicit dupes of oppressors, and both the IRA and the British
   army are hierarchies that have both kinds. The movie makes betraying
   the IRA the only humane decision for the hero. It is simply not in
   Fergus's "nature" to kill and be a revolutionary, so he bags his
   commitment to the IRA for love and sex. Dedicated IRA comrades are
   depicted as unthinking terrorist robots.
