But I'm afraid that day will come later than we expected. I can't stop thinking about what Dan said to me. He said: It's easy to know what you're against, but it's hard to know what you're after. I think, now that I know it, it gives me strength.
Please take care of Teddy from now on, I'm afraid his heart is dead. The clock was ticking, and I imagined it was your heartbeat from my hand. I held the medallion that you hung around my neck, and I couldn't stop shaking. It also gave me courage.
Goodbye Sini, I love you now and forever.
Damien wrote a suicide note in prison before his execution. If he could, how much he wanted to live, but he couldn't! He can't betray his comrades, let alone his faith!
The British were finally driven away by their tireless resistance, but the peace at the moment was just another form of exploitation, the unequal treaties did not recognize Ireland's independence at all, and it was still part of Britain and was deeply oppressed.
Is this the result of Damien's struggle?
Absolutely not, so he chose to continue resisting. But brother Teddy accepted the treaty and was content with the current so-called "peace". The once close brothers have since parted ways. During a covert operation, Damien was arrested, refusing to say where the weapons were hidden. According to the military law, Teddy, as an officer, can only bring his own younger brother to justice on the spot.
That day, listening to the military orders, Damien, who was tied to the stake, was breathing heavily and was extremely frightened. Through the ages, the only death is the hardship. In the face of death, who can not be afraid? At the sound of gunfire, fear ends.
The story is told in a steady and solid manner, without deliberate plot weaving, relying on real scenes and confrontations, the whole story is fully emotionally driven, concise and powerful, and shocking!
What exactly is war? In addition to the exchange of fire, the most important thing is precisely those previous training and preparations, as well as the humanity in it. How much conscience can you keep under the inevitable killing?
Damien had to shoot the boy for betraying the IRA, but how could he not be afraid of being just a child when faced with interrogation by British officers?
It's just so ruthless, there's nothing you can do but watch everything happen.
Ken Loach still practices his realism, the sudden attack of British soldiers, coercion by force, and Miha, who was only seventeen, died in vain under their brutality, it really suffocates you!
The gentle wind blowing across the valley set off waves of golden wheat. The sad words are so depressing, cutting off the thread of love makes me ecstatic, and what makes me more intolerable is the chains of aliens.
So I shouted to the valley, I am going on an expedition against the dawn. The gentle wind blowing across the valley set off waves of golden wheat.
Freedom, for freedom, we have always sacrificed too much, brothers and sisters, wives and children separated. There is no beautification in the film, just to let you see the hard and unbearable reality. There is no other way but to sigh.
The wheat wave that blows in the wind! May you understand our distant call, brush away the sadness, and comfort the dead souls who have passed away.
