    Irish rivers are salty because those are Irish tears

    In this film, Ken Loach, a well-known British and European director, brought the historical story of the British rule of Ireland to the screen in the 1920s, and won the Palme d'Or at the 59th Cannes Film Festival at the beginning of the year.

    #资料馆留影#Samsung half, a movie that makes people uncomfortable, even a bit heavy. Of course, it cannot be denied that the director had ideas. Talking about Ireland’s independence movement against the British Empire in the 20th century, he wanted to express views such as "revolutionaries finally became oppressors" and "overthrow one after another".

In the end, the sensationalism will not be forgotten, and there must be love and widows in the war. . . Some British movies are like political history textbooks at a glance. They are always the hatred of the country and the family. From the beginning to the end, they are full of murder, conspiracy, betrayal, and war scenes. Oh, I can't bear some aesthetic fatigue.
