——"Wind and Wheat Waves" When
it comes to Ireland, everyone can't help but think of a Celtic nation saturated with music, the vast grasslands , a leisurely living environment. But such a crystal clear nation, like our Chinese nation, has fought for the freedom and prosperity of the nation, dedicated itself, and is equally tenacious and unyielding.
If you don't know much about that history, you might as well watch this "Wind Blowing the Wheat Waves", and you can basically understand the origin of the event in the modern era.
The film, set against the backdrop of Northern Ireland's resistance to British rule in 1920, was criticized by the British media as: describing the embryonic form of the Irish Republican Army, and also insinuatingly condemned the totalitarian rule of the United Kingdom. The film itself relies on two brothers to use violence to resist violence, and it is also a tragedy that eventually turned against each other due to the issue of the attribution of violence.
The protagonist of the film, Damir, a medical student who used to only brag in college, can't shoot or kill, gradually matures in the struggle. The task of executing enemies and traitors by shooting him in a panic was the baptism ceremony for him to embark on the road of revolution, and for him, resistance and struggle was a road of no return. Either fail and surrender, or resist to the end, there is no third middle way.
And his older brother Teddy, who he once regarded as an idol with infinite reverence and an extremely strong and brave Irish Republican Army soldier, chose to abandon the original revolutionary ideal of fighting for freedom and independence, and accepted the peace negotiation agreement granted by the United Kingdom to Ireland with limited autonomy , and became the leader of the new Irish government army.
When my brother represents the new government to suppress the resistance forces that still demand freedom and independence, there is no third way between Damir who insists on resisting and his brother, either you die or I live. In Damir's view, the so-called peace agreement is nothing but a rape of the Revolutionary War. He is unwilling to betray the revolution and those who have given their lives for the revolution. He is unwilling to be a fellow traitor who shot and killed himself But in the end, he became a shameless traitor, and Damir, who was unwilling to yield, died at the gunpoint of his brother.
The fraternal struggle between freedom and resistance, or peace and compromise, this is an eternal proposition of the world revolution.
Let’s take a look at the fraternal struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, from fighting side by side in the Northern Expedition, to the April 12 massacre, from the unanimity of the Anti-Japanese War, to the life and death of the war of liberation.
The guerrilla warfare of the heroic Celtic people, is green. Those Irish Republican Army soldiers in plaid suits, or handsome trench coats, with peaked caps on their heads and guns in their hands, shuttled through the green fields to resist the British army. A peaceful atmosphere, and the sound of gunshots resounding in the layers of wheat waves, may be even more thrilling.
Almost at the same time, our heroic Chinese people also fought a guerrilla war. It's just that the guerrilla wars in our impression are all peasants wearing white lamb belly towels, digging trenches, digging tunnels, and fighting devils. Our guerrilla warfare is full of the taste of loess, the taste of our Chinese people.
