The alien invasion reveals the evil of human nature, and under the shadow of Ireland's gloomy climate and humid tundra, it highlights the tragic temperament of the Irish nation. Conflict scenes are bound to resonate with most people, as the same emotional storm is implicated in ethnic conflict, religious persecution, or family feuds. The story of cooking beans and burning peas between Faxiao and his brothers is not only a portrayal of Irish national history, but also not too fictional, because it does not exceed the level of pain in reality. Historical films can present the suffering history of small nations and teach people to reflect on aggression against other countries and nationalism. what is right? what is wrong? Political contradictions and unique individual experiences jointly determine each person's position and choice. It is meaningless to answer who is right and who is wrong. It is a violent simplification of history mixed with the blood of various factions. First of all, the nation should not have greed. Aggression is the root of all evil. Once this magic box is opened, violence can often only be overcome by violence, and the deep resentment will form a trauma in the memory of the nation.

    "Who can keep the original faith like standing in the wheat field in the cruelty of destroying human nature, who can maintain the original pure green without being stained with a variegated color in the chaos of upside down black and white." When blowing through the wheat field, a lonely faith is blown together, and whether the faith is left behind or is gone with the wind, that is the contest of human nature." This film review is not bad~

    A film with a strong political inclination, the color is good, and the emotions are well rendered, but the plot is a little procrastinated, which affects the strength of the film

  • Damien: It's easy to know what you are against, but quite another to know what you are for.

  • Finbar: [the IRA have just gunned down several Black and Tans] Mercenaries! That were paid to come over here to make us crawl, and to wipe us out. We've just sent a message to the British cabinet that will echo and reverbarate around the world! If they bring their savagery over here, we will meet it with a savagery of our own!
