Movies about Ireland are always full of blood, sacrifice, grievance and shouting. Such as Neil Jordan's "The Crying Game", DD Lewis's "In the Name of the Father", "In the Name of Love", Falcon's "Hunger", and the most recent "71 Years" (interestingly, whether The subject of Northern Ireland always seems to be brought up every now and then, this time from the perspective of the military, although there are some shocking things under the hustle and bustle of bullets, the story has become much softer). But with regard to history, even if it is not a distortion like a declaration of a victor, there are always things that cannot be restored and are difficult to be objective, so the film has room for fabrication and presentation, and reproduces the bloody historical facts through real-time deduction. Seeing the civilians who were actually strafing, or even shaking white silk, still made people feel outrage and anger, especially when he deliberately did not save the young man who was shot, and when he died, he put explosives on him, The sequence of arranging for reporters to take pictures really makes every viewer stand up and scold.
In this film, Paul showed the hand-cranking skills he praised in the film industry, which is also another aspect worth remembering for this film. But I think what is more critical is his timely switching of multi-line narratives and a high degree of grasp of the progression of the plot, which makes the characterization and creation of the cause and effect of the entire event seem particularly real, as if the ignited leads are flying down with sparks. The increasingly tense atmosphere is gradually moving towards catharsis and eruption in the vigorous brewing.
If I give the film a 9 out of 10, then the last plus is undoubtedly Bono who sang Sunday, bloody Sunday.
In fact, there are not only hawks and doves among politicians, but also idiots who only command blindly.
