Politics is Violence

It's great to die for a better tomorrow that you can't wait for. Stories like this one who sacrificed their lives for some kind of political freedom are the most familiar to us. From childhood to adulthood, I can see on various propaganda materials that a certain Communist Party member did not change his color under torture and tyranny, died heroically, and even shouted: "Long live communism!" and so on. People who watch a play just think it is a play and watch it, even if you know it's a real fact, you still can't empathize with it. Steve's films can always use a very objective perspective to make you feel the same, so that you can't help but automatically assume the role, and face the cruel reality and dripping blood together with the protagonist. He will let you experience and think from multiple angles, and continue to deepen the theme of the film itself. It's amazing. When we followed the figure of the first political prisoner who appeared and went through a series of procedures in the prison, that kind of standard indifference was like a cold air coming out from the bottom of your feet, and the breath that made you feel a little bit of freedom was getting more and more from you. Weak dissipated. When the prisoner enters that narrow cell, follows his vision, examines this cramped and filthy space, only the torn bars can tell you the desire for freedom - this is what they will be in the next 6 years , a new battlefield for 12 years or more. Fall asleep wrapped in a rough blanket at night, and you can see maggots jumping between the protagonist's fingers. Looking at the strong bridge of the nose of the Irishman, as a viewer, I couldn't imagine what kind of smell filled that small space. . . What kind of spirit can support a person to endure a long torment in this small space. . . In order to fight for his own rights, a person accidentally becomes the object of being elected by everyone in various coincidences, so he will inevitably have his own organization, and finally he has formulated a system to consolidate the organization, and he has a system for the future generations of the system. societies, tribes and even nations. Personal behavior that was originally for selfish interests has become a means of benefiting one's own people, and then it has become a hegemony to restrict the interests of non-me races. As a result, some people rose up to oppose, suppressed, resisted, won or lost, and resisted again. . . Week by week. The world is in such a large or small whirlpool, continuing its operation until the extinction of the human race. Therefore, world peace is just the wishful thinking of the weak. The innate selfishness of human beings is the best shredder. Those in power will deprive the weak of their power and even their freedom, or limit the power and freedom of the weak to satisfy their own interests to the greatest extent possible. This is the purpose of all politics. The very existence of politics is violence and anti-humanity, but at the same time it is a product of human nature. Human society is full of contradictions. The so-called fight for freedom is nothing but to overthrow a kind of thing you feel makes you uncomfortable system, and then set up another system that makes you feel more comfortable and makes others feel less comfortable. Probably so. Therefore, there is no absolute belief in this world, and there is no right or wrong for you. The origin of everything in the world is probably good and evil. Love, hope, is your antidote, it may be someone else's poison. Everyone is an individual and interconnected, and is responsible for himself as well as for others. Anything you destroy is not just him.

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.
