Warner Brothers Entertainment rewarded fans of the film Michael Collins on New Years day by posting the full film on YouTube. The fact that the movie has been posted in full online for free is causing viewers to all say the same thing about Warner Brothers Entertainment.
The movie Michael Collins is about a real man named Michael Collins who led the Irish Republican Army to fight against Britain for Ireland’s independence. As Collins fears that his revolution will be defeated, he negotiates a treaty, but is then labeled a traitor by his own people.
The 1996 film is considered a beloved classic by many, as the full movie has already acquired over 460,000 since it was posted on YouTube days ago. It stars a huge Irish actor, Liam Neeson, who was 43-years-old when he played the leading man.
YouTube users took to the comments of the movie and pointed out that Warner Brothers should post full length movies for free more often, praising them for doing so with Michael Collins.

When Michael Collins came out in 1996, it made over $32 million on a $25 million budget. Despite the fact that film was rated R in the US, it was rated PG in Ireland. The Irish film censor at the time, Sheamus Smith, explained his reasoning why.
“Because of the historical significance of this film, many parents may wish to make their own decision as to whether or not their children should see it,” Smith said.
