Steve McQueen's film actors sacrificed a lot. This film has a strong sense of history. There are many long shots and intriguing lines. People who don't understand history or have no patience can't stand it. In the movie I saw the dehumanization of a civilized society, the wardens simply didn't treat political prisoners as human, like they were taming a bunch of beasts, brutal and cruel, which explains why they did this Extreme forms of resistance even go on hunger strikes. However, I think the hunger strike is really a naked moral kidnapping and should not be used to encourage their arrogance (although it is very inhumane, but to a certain extent they are a group of crazy martyrs, there is no need to talk about reason with them)

In short, The tragedy happened because Mrs Thatcher did not give the other party an equal position to negotiate. In the final analysis, it was caused by the failure of the communication between the two parties.

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.
