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.
