TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Hunger is known for its unbroken 17 minute 10 second continuous shot, in which Catholic priest Father Dominic Moran tries to talk Bobby Sands out of the Hunger Strike he and his fellow 75 IRA members plan to start. The camera remains in the same position throughout the scene. To prepare, Liam Cunningham moved into Michael Fassbender's apartment, and they rehearsed the scene 12-15 times per day. On the first day of filming, the actors got it perfect after 4 takes.

Michael Fassbender had to go on a medically monitored crash diet to portray Bobby Sands.

The medical attendant with a mustache who takes care of Bobby Sands in the hospital has 'UDA' tattooed on his left hand. UDA stands for Ulster Defence Association, a loyalist paramilitary organization.

Bobby Sands first appears on screen 26 minutes into the film.

First theatrical film directed by Steve McQueen.

Popular Dialogues

"Bobby Sands: I have my belief, and in all its simplicity that is the most powerful thing."

"Father Dominic Moran: I want to know whether your intent is just purely to commit suicide here. Bobby Sands: You want me to argue about the morality of what I'm about to do and whether it's really suicide or not? For one, you're calling it suicide. I call it murder. And that's just another wee difference between us two. We're both Catholic men, both Republicans. But while you were poaching salmon in beautiful Kilrea, we were being burnt out of our house in Rathcoole. Similar in many ways, Dom, but life and experiences focused our beliefs differently. You understand me?"
