The one-and-a-half-hour movie, which had few lines, was mostly arranged in a 17-minute dialogue between Sands and the priest. Sands announced that he would launch a hunger strike. He has more than 70 supporters. They refuse to negotiate, and they will follow suit.
As a complement, Sands recounts an incident from his childhood: During an outing, they encountered a moribund deer. While the others were arguing about what to do about it, he hugged the deer's head, pushed it into the stream, and drowned it. Sands firmly believes that he made the right choice for the deer - rather than dying in pain, it is better to die happily. He promotes: I am an activist.
How terrible. The man who didn't even love himself was covered with horrible sores in the last days of his life. His dope stained the clean white sheets. He collapsed from starvation in front of his enemies, the Northern Ireland Defence Association.
In the last moments of Sands' life, he recalled his boyhood, his lonely car ride, and his alone running in the woods by the river. The front of the road was pitch black and no one was there. There is no one behind. Finally, it was getting late. Under the blue sky, the black bird perched on the black tree soars - the
director uses this poetic scene to explain the death of an idealist, and sinisterly brings tears to Sands' curtain call - this weak s things. He is definitely not as firm as our revolutionary predecessors - for heroes like Liu Hulan, Huang Jiguang, and Dong Cunrui, there are no tears.
