    Because it is too similar to real life, I look very anxious, I just want to fast forward and see the happy end, but there is no such end. I don’t know if a person must have a strong personal charm to promote a thinking/lifestyle? I suspect it is. In fact, it depends on the power of idols rather than...

    The light-hearted tone tells heavy political stories, and even the capture of a section uses a comedy bridge. The color tone is too beautiful to wash your...

    The drama conflict is weaker than "The Wind Blows the Wheat Wave", and the music is more beautiful than "The Wind Blows the Wheat Wave". The second heroine is much cuter than "The Wind Blows the Wheat Wave". Others are similar to "The Wind Blew Wheat Wave". Going...

    3.5; The color tone is really beautiful as a dream, but such a charming Ireland has never stopped struggling; what is restricted is the movement of the flesh, and what cannot be restrained is the soul thirsting for freedom. The overall shot is more than smooth and refined, but lacks the shock that it has always...

    The political background is too deep! The title idea and subtitles are not enough! My sister has watched so many documentaries that I feel dizzy. It’s not natural enough that all kinds of incidents are "successful" without clearly explaining the interests and concerns of the general background. The Brits and the Church are pressed on the Irish people, and the two mountains that have remained lingering so far have not been well-painted. There are no details of the customs and folk...

    The two indispensable opposites in Ken Rocky's movies are also obvious and conflicting in "Jimmy's Ballroom." However, no matter how the drama is written, the conflict between the residents and the church will never be as intense as in his previous works, and will not form the Franco Fascist army and the international column in the Spanish Civil War ("Land and Freedom", Community Residents and Blackmailing them Conflict like the underworld ("Looking for...

    The rare Ken Roach, who doesn’t fight and talks well... seems to be a relaxed and pleasant echo of [风吹麦浪]. The image is very delicate and even brings a rare (much milder than Uncle Ken’s other works) nostalgia. The protagonist is the same way as the characters Ken Rocky usually writes, and also has a more complicated background (people/Communist party vs church/conservative, plus the Irish Republican Army), but the ballroom in the cracks seems extremely utopian. To be honest, the drama is very...

    Ken Roach is so exquisite and delicate. The use of color and light and shadow is simply too beautiful. The accumulation and outbreak of contradictions, the disillusionment and inheritance of ideals are all expressed in a gentle and firm manner, calm and restrained, without traces of sensation, and a basic attitude of respect for the positions of the parties to the conflict. This calm and determined temperament Very sincere and touching. Another actor too! handsome! Up! !...

Jimmy's Hall quotes

  • O'Keefe: "Is it Christ or Gralton?" I think those were the words of several parish priests...

    Father Seamus: I suspect if Christ was here today, there'd be several members of this parish who would have Him crucified again. That's what I suspect!

  • Oonagh: The IRA are even on the fence. They don't want to upset the church.
