not a national war

Ireland vs. Great Britain

It is probably different from China's anti-Japanese

This is not a foreign war

Even if the hero insists not to speak English

Nor is it like a confrontation between nations

More like a struggle between starving people and officials representing the wealthy ruling class

especially in times of famine

Maybe it's because the land is too wide and the people are too similar to each other

More like Chen Shengqi

Wu Guang was originally ordered to arrest

In the end, Wu Guang and Chen Sheng went together

Let's seize officials and food for the people

Chen Sheng was killed

On the verge of death, Wu Guang was told to leave the Qin state

To the United States

anyhow

It's the black age of famine

and the tragic stories of several characters

as said at the end

Memorial to the dead who escaped

It's a serious narrative tragic movie

    In the 19th century Ireland still needed English translations, and it's hard enough to find an Irish-speaking Irishman these days. The Famine subject has to be dark, and the film tone is really gray. This became a story of a ranger's revenge, eh?

    Take Hua Dao Mei plus one star. Human life is like a mustard, the source of the potato mile language

Black '47 quotes

  • Pope: "For whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." Drunkenness and fecklessness is the economics of the famine in the west.

    Reporter on train: And the continued crop failure.

    Pope: Failure, sir, lies in the character of the people.

  • Pope: Explain your total dependence upon the easiest grown staple known to mankind.

    Reporter on train: Potato was the only way to feed so many over limited acreage.

    Pope: Food for the contented slave, not the hardy and the brave.
