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.

    It's okay to shoot a good few paragraphs of Mai Lang, but I still can't see what's good. Is it because of the film language standard? It looks like I need to talk to the teacher. . My feeling is that most of the Irish films, especially the ones about the struggle with the UK, are very documentary, lacking in tension and lack of inspiration. Judging from the ratings, there are a lot of Irish things that are not my type.

    I didn't expect Ken Loach to wink at melodrama more and more....hoho, I almost forgot his husband's consistent relationship with politics...

The Wind that Shakes the Barley quotes

  • 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!
