Is death the only option?

"Hunger" This is the second film about starvation that I have seen. Originally, according to the abnormal procedure, there should be "1942" in the list. I believe that the theme of starvation is something Feng Xiaogang cannot avoid and bypass. But Liu Zhenyun's original work has been read, the refining is short, and the blow is powerful. Another book that describes in detail all the details before starvation to death is "into the wild". The director basically uses a documentary method, using a scalpel technique, to carefully dissect every detail of the dying, and every detail is vivid and compelling.

There are also white feathers flying near the end of "Hunger", but unlike "Forrest Gump", the latter is the flying of the soul, and the former is the falling of the soul. Death is so terrible, but why do people still not regret it? There can only be something scarier than death. The director has already explained and laid out such an ending in the middle of the bridge. An extra-long shot expresses the struggle and pain of the soul in front of the priest. Death was not the only outcome, the priest persuaded to negotiate. Bobby Sands's face stared deeply behind the cigarette mist, and another long shot, the childhood memory of death and the final choice permeated, like a donkey who can't advance or retreat, it is better to die.

The result of starvation is horror, the heart shrinks by 2/3, the gastric juices corrode the stomach, the bones pierce the skin, and each breath burns the whole body like fire. The body has slowly decayed, but the soul is flying like a dove in the sky. If I could live again, as if the boy kept running at the end, would the end of the journey be the only option for death?

Hunger quotes

  • Father Dominic Moran: I want to know whether your intent is just purely to commit suicide here.

    Bobby Sands: You want me to argue about the morality of what I'm about to do and whether it's really suicide or not? For one, you're calling it suicide. I call it murder. And that's just another wee difference between us two. We're both Catholic men, both Republicans. But while you were poaching salmon in beautiful Kilrea, we were being burnt out of our house in Rathcoole. Similar in many ways, Dom, but life and experiences focused our beliefs differently. You understand me?

  • Bobby Sands: I'm clear of the reasons Dom. I'm clear of all the repercussions. I will act and I will not stand by and do nothing.
