You cannot define the story that happened in these 127 minutes. It is the birth of a country, the rise of a nation, and the choices everyone has to make in various social conflicts. It is intensified, transformed, woven and intersected by one by one The resulting epic movie seems to be a mirror of history and reality. Politics, economy, military, law, family, love, friendship, dreams, freedom, beliefs... It's hard to say what it wants to express.

It is worth mentioning that Ken Loach is an English director, and the realism perfectly presented with film art in 127 minutes, completely putting aside national issues, is the greatness of Ken Loach.

Today, each of us is as smooth as reality has polished. We constantly compromise to cater to the world, and slowly lose our own patterns. I don’t know how many people can continue to move forward on the road of pursuing truth like Damien, even if There are many thorns ahead, even sacrificing yourself, still reckless, just because of the belief in your heart.

    If there is no dark organization and attack, what national independence is played? Ireland is lucky and meets Britain, and the family is ruined. Inner fighting is inferior. If you want to follow the path to fight against Leviathan, the intensity may increase by a multiplier.

    @小西天. Four and a half stars. 1. It is said that when Wong Kar-wai was the chairman of the jury that year, he didn't even look down on the main competition film, and finally decided to support the wind and the wheat wave out of respect for his predecessors. 2. There really doesn't seem to be anything new about Ken Lodge, but his old-school stern precision itself is the style that best fits the story. 3. But I still see something interesting. The story contains a lot of "unfinished" accidents: the first half of the black and brown army did not complete the name, the first operation of the Republican army failed to detonate the bomb, the rescue operation left a cell that could not be opened, leaving three companions, etc. The list goes on and on. All small unfinished accidents point to the "unfinished" inevitability of resistance and revolution. 4. The original soundtrack is excellent, but Ken Rocky doesn't bother to use it for sensationalism at all. This is called advanced.
