Fighting is our attitude!

I just finished watching the movie, and I was still a little confused because the subtitles were not very good, which affected me a bit. I am used to commenting immediately after watching the movie. .It is another story full of tragic .
Many times, we need such tragic stories to enrich ourselves. There are too many things happening every day, and it is impossible for us to completely remember our moving and shocking. We need to be reminded, Just like the compromise between the Irish Republican Army and the United Kingdom at the end of the play needs to be reminded, it is just a compromise, not what they have been fighting for. Now that the IRA has disarmed and accepted the deal, Northern Ireland is on its way to peace. But, then, the story wasn't over. Now, some of them still see it, some don't, even if If it wasn't for their sacrifice, their lives would not be so long. And their stories have been left in the memory of history for a long time. The protagonist's previous dream was to avoid war and become a doctor, but the reality did not allow him to have his own choice. .(I find that I am writing film reviews more and more like to use reality to justify characters, hehe.)
The scenes of the story are not like Hollywood style at all, that is not necessary, the important thing in the film is to tell the story, and the commercial factor does not matter. Decisive role. Their struggle is very simple and neat, and it seems that it will not play a big role in the whole war. In fact, it is the appearance of small teams like them that is the composition of the entire war, and the director just extracted it from it. A small part. The story basically travels in the countryside of Ireland, and the three young people are gradually growing up. As the plot progresses, the story enters a watershed in the middle. In the face of an unjust agreement, compromise or opposition is every The choice that an individual must make is also a time to test their beliefs and ideals. I believe that many people have had such struggles in the face of the choice of fate. And this is the time to recognize and deny the comrades who have sacrificed and are fighting. Splits are inevitable. We, too, have split, the French Revolution has split, and the Russian October Revolution has split. We are so familiar with splits. In fact, it is the persistence and abandonment of ideals.
The protagonist did not let people down, even though he sacrificed in the end. Unlike the comrades who died before, they sacrificed for the ideal, but he sacrificed because he could not accept the change of the comrades in the ideal, and the latter was even more shocking. It directly tortured everyone, himself, his comrades, and us, yes, and us.

    One of my favorite Ken Loach movies at the moment, the story is not boring, mainly because of the reflection on war that moved me. When family and friendship can be destroyed in the face of nihilistic power, the word justice is full of absurdity

    The Irish War of Independence is good everywhere, the camera moves, and the narrative is strong and neat; the later battle between the royalists and the republicans is stylized, and in the final suicide note, the feeling I want in my mind is Qu Qiubai [excessive words] rather than Lin Juemin's "Book with His Wife". The protagonist should be a Qu Qiubai-style character. Worst Ken Loach ever. Three and a half.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley quotes

  • Teddy: "Immediate and terrible war." Those were the exact words. The threat promised by the British Cabinet if we didn't ratify this treaty.

  • Finbar: You say the Brits are leaving here? They're going 300 miles up the road, Leo. That's where they're going.
