When we see the author's friend Kopp, a Belgian who gave up everything to fight against fascism and behaved very heroically, was not killed by the enemy, but was thrown into prison by the government simply because he belonged to the Trotskyist party POUM You will be overwhelmed by the complexity and brutality of politics. At the end of Land and Freedom, the UMLP was declared an illegal organization by the...

Visualization of George Orwell's memoir of the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia. Think of this dude's Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four. It's not hard to see what the film is trying to...

It sounds ironic that he joined the revolution chanting "Down with Fascism", but ended up in exile on the charge of "Fascist complicity". However, Ken Loach did not ridicule these young people in the slightest. The whole film uses poetic concise language and oil painting-like delicate lens to give their fate a classical tragic color. In the middle of the film, the priest is executed, the peasants demolish the church, and throw the icons and paintings into the fire, which seems to be a metaphor...

The revolutionaries have come to a crossroads of disagreement, seeing one road leading to pure friendship and noble defeat, and the other to dirty criticism and vile victories. Some people wavered, hesitated, and turned back halfway. They are not cowards who gave up their ideals, but ordinary people who still uphold reason and do not forget their conscience in the real world constructed by loyalty, freedom, party spirit, and oppression. May they finally rest in this land, where the struggle of...

Those who are more radical than the “leftists” in power have a similar fate. They are deprived of their lives, and latecomers are deprived of the right to speak about them. History has never provided us with the correct answer, but it has given us the same wrong demonstration, and those who have won are also wrong. What is correct? I don't know, I'm still thinking about it. Maybe we should take a good look at the sincerity buried in failure. Orwell was misread as a simple anti-totalitarian. It...

The film was filmed at the end of the last century, with a strong political awareness. It tells the story of the rapid disintegration of the leftist camp in the post-Soviet era and the self-dissolution of the Communist parties in various places. It is difficult to imagine that Spain has such turbulent years without watching this film. Ken Loach shows how people can engage their audience by changing their minds through their own experiences. In particular, the moment when the male protagonist...

At first glance, the narrative style of memory is old-fashioned but it is really practical (such as narrative omission), the ending is good, and the...
