I got up this morning and watched the award-winning film at this year's Cannes Film Festival - "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves".
This kind of movie, I did not catch a cold. The bland posters, rice fields and a man whose face cannot be seen clearly, do not have much visual stimulation. Stories without excitement, wars and nations, have been told a thousand times over. So this DVD was pushed below the other films and was at the bottom of the watch list.
But after reading it today, some of the ratios are out of balance...
It turns out that in the face of the war, our things are so small and sad. When a specific contradiction hangs over the sky, our little personal grievance suddenly seems humble. In the 1920s, Ireland was trampled by the British, and national hatred became more and more intense. Every day is life and death, how should I resist? There have been films with this theme before, but this time, the director used an immersive narrative method. The rhythm and intensity have been worked hard to allow people to personally participate in this melee.

    2021 British Masters Exhibition. Limit received tickets before the opening. At the beginning, there is a guide video specially recorded by the director (with NG), talking about the creative background, the history of contradictions between Britain and Ireland, the controversy when the film was released and the universality of the work. A century ago, the Irish people's appeal for independence was to build a divided society for the people, not the rich and poor brought by the United Kingdom. They used guerrilla resistance to win the British retreat. However, internal divisions and civil wars began. Some people say that peace is exchanged by the dead with their lives, please accept it. Some people say that if you accept such a treaty that is really betraying its original intention, the dead will die in vain... So communities and families are torn apart. , The bloodshed and the famine continue... The film has no stand, although it is complicated, it is still calm, the green color is bright, the folk songs are melodious, after reading it, I realize the intention of arranging the game at the beginning, the protagonist Damien once said, I hope this Ireland we're fighting for is worth it

    Think Land and Freedom. We must be overwhelmed by the complexity and brutality of politics. However, the film portrays the British army in such a bad way that it makes one wonder whether it is colonial rule or the lack of freedom under brutal rule that they cannot bear. Some people say that the compromise is just a change of the ruler's accent and flag colors, but are you sure that the result of the struggle is not just a change of the ruler's accent and flag colors?
