I shall never see you again

"The Wind That Shakes The Barley", a tense movie in a slow rhythm, after watching it, I like it very much. Maybe because of this extraordinary time.
The film is about a history of Irish independence, how the British bullied the Irish, and the contradictions between the Irish. The British have nothing to do with the Irish, and it is reasonable to bully others, but the most painful thing is to see the killings in the Irish world, Damien's pain when executing traitors, and Teddy's wounds when he shot his own siblings. pain.
If it weren't for the movie, I would never have imagined that the mild-mannered Brits could be so brutal, the killing is always the most distressing moment I watch a war movie, whether it's Auschwitz or the Katyn Forest, it makes me deeply Fear of the cruelty of human nature, how can they succeed? I asked myself.
War, whether for good or evil purposes, is cruel.
Before the British were cruel because they were invading a country, Ireland gained some autonomy and became a free state. As a result, contradictions arose among the Irish. Some people felt that this was not bad, and the goal of peace was achieved. One's own - the Irish National Army's pass, must be skipped from one's own body in order to drive away the British rule. The movie was supposed to be on Damien's side, who was fighting for total freedom, although he failed and was captured and executed by National Army Teddy, when Teddy gave Damien's letter and amulet to his wife, she said "I shall never see you again".
In the same way, when Damien gave Chris's belongings to his mother, the old mother prepared dinner for Chris' Damien, and the old mother said the same thing at Chris's grave.
In fact, when Damien executed Chris, it was quite contradictory. Killing his own countryman was not the same as killing an alien, let alone his brother who fought alongside him. It's just that in war, you have no choice.
The soldiers of the National Army arrived at Meen's house to search, and pointed their guns at the old and weak women and children. When they had nothing to do with the British, Damien's mother said, "We used to provide you with food and drink."
It's just that the war has made people go from one camp to another. To the opposite, let the former man become a wolf.
The final outcome can only be two words: chilling.
Someone asked me, why are you so angry recently? In fact, where am I, I am just a timid person, but I love my country as much as I hate war.
Without war, more people would love each other, and human nature is so fragile in the face of war.
I wish more people could be peaceful and opposite.

    From the perspective of Ireland’s anti-colonial struggle alone, it’s hard to be honest with overseas audiences, especially from the third world audiences in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Sneak release), the intensity of the struggle seems to be ugly to Chinese audiences who have suffered from the difficult education of the anti-Japanese. It is a bit pediatric... Fortunately, Ken Roach quickly turned his spearhead to the narrative line he is good at-inside the small room after tearing his rebellion. The radical debate between class contradictions and legal dignity is comparable to freedom and land ten years ago. "You can't act arbitrarily, otherwise, how is it different from the British to be driven away"? Of course, this debate seems to have their own offensive and defensive terms, but because of the post-event Zhuge, it is hard not to incline people to the democratic leftist position represented by Damian, and thus fall into the topic of premature ejaculation. The cliché trajectory, and the follow-up development proves that there are indeed no surprises. In contrast, the filming director transformed his other signature motif, folk ball sports, into a mixed technique that provokes the British army to search and create tragedies, which is eye-catching, although it comes from the fun of the movie rather than the story itself. The emotions lead. Samsung and a half

    A large number of unclaimed shots objectively show that cruel era, without dazzling film techniques, but the director still chose his own position (younger brother) and chose death to commemorate his ideals. “It’s easy to understand what you oppose, but it’s hard to understand what you support.” PS: 1 Arguing twice 2 Shooting twice
