After watching this film on iQIYI, I don’t know how many knives were cut (some of the cuts are incoherent), and I specifically checked the history of Northern Ireland’s independence and the Irish 4 youth incident. History is the background, from the tossing of the 1970s to the early 21st century, Blair is about to die... Although the castration is compressed to 2 hours, it is still full of human nature, growth, family affection, politics, and social issues. The whole process is accompanied by a little bit of depression. Compared with other films based on real events, this one gives me the feeling that it is relatively clean from actors to plots, without procrastination, and gets rid of the shackles of the historical era in which the film is located to look at history, human nature, fatherly love, judicial system, and especially more reflective. Love has the dual power attributes of creation and destruction. Here, the father's love is used to show the ordinary to the mediocre father. The burden of love makes him burn out his life prematurely. At the same time, armed with love and wisdom, it also makes him seem omnipotent and transforms. The mentor who grew up as a pig's foot and the direct driving force for the transformation and resistance, the vigilant, persistent female lawyer with a sense of justice has become a life-saving straw for him to fight back, and gradually walk out of the shadow of war and hatred. The background music that does not respond, if any key point is missing, the result of the confrontation between the pig's feet and the national judicial and violent institutions may be nonsense. War is a disaster for all human beings. There is no justice or injustice. Bloodshed smashes the rationality and humanity of all people and smashes each other. The first court debate, ordinary people of the same Catholic faith, from judges to police officers to onlookers, can communicate with each other. The hostility is absurd, and even the justice can say hysterical words, the scene is like a group of psychotic patients beating up a few little girls... Thinking about it, politics can be regardless of what's inside, but it must be To save face, the British judiciary under the label of democracy and human rights will sometimes not even want face. It is no wonder that there is the biggest stain on the judiciary. Here, a paragraph of the "Rou" summarises human nature and rules more accurately: "For the sake of If you measure it, you will steal it. If you weigh it and call it, you will steal it with the balance. If you trust it, you will steal it with the seal. To correct it is to steal it from benevolence and righteousness. No matter how good the standard appears, it may be good at the moment, but over time, the taste of tool attributes will become more and more serious. As for who uses it and how to use it for good and evil, it is even more important Control. Let’s talk about it for the time being, it’s not over if it goes too far haha
