the UDI mentioned many times in the film is the IRA, the Irish Republican Army. It is estimated that the name was changed because it was too sensitive. Established in 1919, it was adapted from the "Irish Volunteer Army", a nationalist military organization aiming to establish an independent Republic of Ireland. It fought against the British troops stationed in Ireland and achieved political aspirations through violent activities for a long time. It is regarded as a terrorist organization by many countries. . Once fought for the independence of Ireland and now for the unification of Northern Ireland, it is divided into orthodox and temporary factions. The internal factions are very complicated.
Hannes, the Northern Ireland politician played by Bruce South, is based on the current Sinn Fein party leader Adams. From the leader of the Irish Republican Army and the famous terrorist demon, he transformed himself into politics and became an envoy of peace in Northern Ireland. There has always been a saying in Northern Ireland: At night, when the child does not want to go to bed, parents will say that if you don't go to bed, Adams is coming! As a result, children who are no longer obedient will be scared to sleep obediently. Gerry Adams, the leader of the Sinn Fein Party, the political organization of the Irish Republican Army, has been regarded as the largest terrorist in Northern Ireland for more than 30 years. In recent years, his political views have shifted from violence to peace. On July 28, 2005, the Irish Republican Army announced the end of its 35-year armed resistance campaign. More than 1,000 members of the organization began to lay down their weapons at 15:00 GMT on the same day.
UVF: The rival of UDI mentioned in the film, that is, the faction that killed the brother of Hannes's wife, did not change its name, but used the real name UVF. After the partition of South and Northern Ireland, Catholics who were originally a majority changed from a majority to a minority in the six counties of Northern Ireland. The Protestants changed from the original minority on the island to the majority in Northern Ireland. There are constant disputes between the two sides over the distribution of interests, religious programs, pro-British or united love, and hatred often escalates into armed conflicts. The armed force representing Catholics is the Provisional Irish Republican Army (Provisional Irish Republican Army, which considers itself the direct successor of the Irish Republican Army, with the goal of realizing the reunification of North and South Ireland and protecting Catholics). The armed force representing the Protestants is called the Ulster Volunteer Force (Ulster Volunteer Force, named after the city of Ulster, the last fortress of the Gaelic people). These two armed forces often carry out religious attacks against the civilians of each other, and they plant each other to create terrorist attacks to trigger the world's accusations against each other. Both sides once declared that their political goal was to promote political reconciliation and reform in Northern Ireland, but they continued to use violence and terror as a match.
In the end, Brosnan's appearance in the film is exactly the same as Adams in reality! ! ! He has a beard, a neat suit, and a pair of deep eyes behind the gentle frame! ! !
This is Hannis in the film.
This is also Hannis.
Adams, the former leader of the Irish Republican Army in reality and now the leader of Sinn Fein.
Doesn't it look like for yourself.
Think carefully! ! !
