Hunger - we must do something

What kind of movie is this? ! There is no pleasure in watching movies, and it can even cause discomfort. However, the discussion of freedom, system, rights, and resistance in the film is deafening. From the filth movement to the hunger strike, the film uses extremely cold and restrained shots to depict cruel but persistent human nature. There are several non-protagonist clips. There are no bombs, the armed police hide behind the door and cry, the prison guards go to the nursing home to see the mother who was killed, the iron frame used to prevent bedsores, and the restraint of the protagonist's parents visiting their son are all scenes that trigger sighs and thoughts. In the middle, there is a long conversation between the protagonist and the priest. It is a dialogue between life and faith, and an attempt by divinity to save humanity. In the end, life retreats and faith moves toward victory and death. Everyone is thinking, why do we do this? This kind of confrontation is meaningless. I think it is a pair of contradictions in human nature that will make such tragedies staged again and again in various eras and on various stages, and there will always be the boy who made up for the dying horse.

    Except for the super long shot, there is not much dialogue in the rest, and the language of the camera vividly tells the story, which is quite shocking.
