The Wind That Shakes the Barley: The War has Become Brutal

When you think of Ireland, what comes to mind?
tap dance? Simple and cheerful Irish music? Also, the Irish Republican Army.

This is a beautiful land, and the people here are hardworking, tenacious, simple, and happy. This is a sad land, where enslavement, wars, turmoil, and life and death are constantly being staged in this land.

As a British colony, Ireland has endured hundreds of years of slavery. The people have been trampled at will, and resistance has continued,...

Green wind, smoke in the wind

British English has never sounded so harsh and harsh because it was the language of the occupiers, an assault and even rape that was almost as dangerous and sickening as a gun.

The Wall of Brothers trope may be a bit old-fashioned, but it does aptly and succinctly exemplifies an important turning point in the Irish independence movement, the split between the Free Staters and the IRA, which even the ignorant audience like me can get a rough idea of. The scene in which the protagonist...

History is all the same

Just like the process of reorganizing the guerrillas from the eight southern provinces into the New Fourth Army during the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, soldiers who could not change their minds were finally betrayed by politicians. The
Red Army Tan Yubao Department in Hunan and Jiangxi once suspected that Chen Yi, who went to promote the spirit of the Central Committee, "betrayed the revolution" ", he was tied up for interrogation and almost executed. After investigation, it...

i will never see you again

It's been a long time since this Cannes Film Festival winning film. I haven't watched it since I bought it, maybe I want to adjust the mood that I can watch the classics.

After watching it, I was a little disappointed, not as good as I imagined.

Especially not as "In the Name of Father", which is also set in the IRA.

Maybe the director wants to emphasize "neutrality" too much and avoid emotional input.

What is more shocking is the sentence "I will never...

fight for freedom

THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY ("The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves") won the Palme d'Or in 2006, which I think is well deserved. The narrative style of the film is as quiet and intense as its name, and the realism is like stewing meat slowly. The story begins in 1920. The Irish people launched the Irish War of Independence for freedom. Later, the United Kingdom and Ireland signed a peace treaty. The agreement will establish a free Irish state, which will fully control customs,...

There are always works like this, which can give you a glimpse of all human nature in two hours, including adherence to blood ideals, struggle, appeasement, weakness, surrender, spontaneous will, forced fear, absolute freedom or compromise. The past tense and the present tense of oneself, the self and others who made the same choice. The nails that are pulled out will always grow back, so I won't be afraid of this kind of pain in the future, but I'm also unwilling to endure it again. Understand...

The wind blows the wheat waves, and the sparks start a prairie fire. When there is a lack of revolutionary consensus, the purpose of the revolution is not clear, and those who participate in the revolution do not have a common vision, so they will inevitably withdraw after reaching their respective expectations, or even turn from revolution to reaction, in order to maintain the so-called "revolutionary fruits" that are not rich. Former friends and brothers, the tear between emotional humanity...

A film with a strong political inclination, the color is good, and the emotions are well rendered, but the plot is a little procrastinated, which affects the strength of the...

It's okay to shoot a good few paragraphs of Mai Lang, but I still can't see what's good. Is it because of the film language standard? It looks like I need to talk to the teacher. . My feeling is that most of the Irish films, especially the ones about the struggle with the UK, are very documentary, lacking in tension and lack of inspiration. Judging from the ratings, there are a lot of Irish things that are not my...
