cold

I don't know which movie I started from, I don't know which song I started from, I started to like Ireland, just like Yeats, for no reason. After watching the movie, I kept replaying the image of him being shot at the end.
This is the end of the effort for the ideal. Reminds me of "The Years of Love" and the ending of "Blue Sea and Blue Sky".
The same death, this is too tragic.
The end is also the best way to contradict ideals and reality, like "21 Grams".
Just like "The Gadfly", the people closest to you dominate your life.
He was truly freed from the contradiction.
The sadness of throwing a butt to the person behind you.
Just like the theme song of the same name of the film, the wind crosses the wheat waves, and there is only one feeling left - cold.

    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?

    The fate of the cruel war is always similar, the filming is very stable, and the group scenes are well filmed, but I just can't like it, it feels very ordinary.

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!
