Movies make people think

Find movies from your hard drive to watch. When I saw "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves", I have been watching this movie for a long time. In my memory, it is the award-winning film of Cannes. Whether a movie is good or not depends mainly on whether it can touch the numb nerve in our hearts. I think I prefer war films, probably because I lack that kind of "situation". The more I haven't experienced it, the more I feel curious, and the more I need a "transposition".

Ireland was under British occupation, and the people of the town lived in white terror, seemingly numb, until a teenager was beaten to death. The young man finally picked up the gun... It was a little sad when he saw this, and he really had no choice in this troubled world. These IRAs have been arrested, tortured, shot, and shot traitors themselves (though as children they grew up with). This is war and you have to do it.

The war finally brought reconciliation, Ireland did not get complete independence, but the peace treaty disintegrated the original camp. Some are content with a humiliating peace, feeling that it has been hard-won; others insist on perpetual freedom. Wearing the uniforms of the British Empire, the original partners became soldiers who suppressed liberals. Under the halo of power and orthodoxy, the former trust has died, and the inner paranoia has taken over everything, so the former leader shot his own brother in pain... War tests humanity, and peace?

At the moment of execution, the director chose a very real close-up shooting, breathing, fear, the coming of death, everything is so real that people burst into tears. . .

    From the perspective of Ireland’s anti-colonial struggle alone, it’s hard to be honest with overseas audiences, especially from the third world audiences in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Sneak release), the intensity of the struggle seems to be ugly to Chinese audiences who have suffered from the difficult education of the anti-Japanese. It is a bit pediatric... Fortunately, Ken Roach quickly turned his spearhead to the narrative line he is good at-inside the small room after tearing his rebellion. The radical debate between class contradictions and legal dignity is comparable to freedom and land ten years ago. "You can't act arbitrarily, otherwise, how is it different from the British to be driven away"? Of course, this debate seems to have their own offensive and defensive terms, but because of the post-event Zhuge, it is hard not to incline people to the democratic leftist position represented by Damian, and thus fall into the topic of premature ejaculation. The cliché trajectory, and the follow-up development proves that there are indeed no surprises. In contrast, the filming director transformed his other signature motif, folk ball sports, into a mixed technique that provokes the British army to search and create tragedies, which is eye-catching, although it comes from the fun of the movie rather than the story itself. The emotions lead. Samsung and a half

    A large number of unclaimed shots objectively show that cruel era, without dazzling film techniques, but the director still chose his own position (younger brother) and chose death to commemorate his ideals. “It’s easy to understand what you oppose, but it’s hard to understand what you support.” PS: 1 Arguing twice 2 Shooting twice

The Wind that Shakes the Barley quotes

  • Damien: It's easy to know what you are against, but quite another to know what you are for.

  • Finbar: [the IRA have just gunned down several Black and Tans] Mercenaries! That were paid to come over here to make us crawl, and to wipe us out. We've just sent a message to the British cabinet that will echo and reverbarate around the world! If they bring their savagery over here, we will meet it with a savagery of our own!
