Did Joe have something against Gerry before the attack on Barker or was it Gerry's response to what Joe did that ruined the relationship they had formed? It seemed kind of abrupt so I don't know if I missed something before The Godfather screening. Joe seemed to keep Gerry at a distance before the attack happened and I wasn't sure why.
shareI don't recall Joe keeping his distance before the movie.
Awe Skinny you got blood all over my trousers! Jeez I'm real sorry sorry Frank
The only thing I remember is Joe telling Gerry not to sit next to him during the movie, but I just took that as Joe not wanting Gerry for this plan of his.
shareJoe (blows) considered Gerry as a patsy for the IRA cause, since Gerry was a common thief that DREW attention to the whole local IRA group in the neighborhood, so this may have been a way to get rid of Gerry the local, "their always robbing our houses" thief, only when a whole bunch of other people including a 14 year old kid got involved in the mix, then and ONLY then, the IRA thought about about doing the right thing otherwise Gerry would still be robbing brownies at the jail for dinner. Oyyyyy!
Spoiler alert for them spoil sports out there! Y'all like spoiled milk, stop crying over it!
Gerry was a member of the IRA when he was a teenager
just one of the things Jim Sheridan left out
