Between Irish National Cinema and Hollywood: Neil Jordan’s Michael Collins
When Neil Jordan’s film Michael Collins was released in 1996, it was seen by some as a Hollywood epic, by others as a great national film. I would argue that Michael Collins combines these two traditions and occupies a space between Irish national cinema and Hollywood. The subject matter, the creative talent and the locations were Irish and the film was produced by using the Irish filmmaking infrastructure and the Irish government’s support mechanisms, but it was largely financed and distributed by a Hollywood studio. Also, to make it more appealing especially globally, but probably also locally (since Hollywood is now the international standard), it makes use of Hollywood conventions, making it accessible to international audiences as well. Despite the Hollywood mode, the fact remains that Michael Collins is a national film text, and Jordan does not make too many concessions to the non-Irish audiences

Yo sostengo que Michael Collins combina estas dos tradiciones y ocupa un espacio entre el cine nacional irlandĂ©s y Hollywood. La temática, el talento creativo y los exteriores son irlandeses y la pelĂcula se realizĂł usando la infraestructura cinematográfica irlandesa y los mecanismos de apoyo del gobierno irlandĂ©s, pero fue mayoritariamente financiada y distribuida por un estudio de Hollywood. Por otra parte, para hacerla más atractiva sobre todo a escala mundial, pero probablemente tambiĂ©n local (ya que Hollywood es ahora el estándar internacional), emplea convenciones de Hollywood que la hacen accesible al pĂşblico internacional. A pesar del estilo Hollywoodiense, lo cierto es que Michael Collins es un texto fĂlmico nacional, y que Jordan no hace demasiadas concesiones al pĂşblico no irlandĂ©s
