Hunger

Keenly smelling the breath of the later work "Twelve Years a Slave", it shows that people are bound and free under the environment and the system. The director has his own unique style. In this debut work, it is so intense and depressing, like a close-up never before. The prison that was removed. In the second half, the pastor and Bobby were arguing in the meeting room. The still shots were sitting opposite each other. The setting was so ordinary that it could no longer be ordinary. Only the smoke from the cigarette in his hand floated up gently, and finally brought them closer. 's face close-up, I didn't fast forward these ten minutes of dialogue. The British government, which regards republicanism as a terrorist organization and refuses to retreat, seizes personal liberty under power, political prisoners who obviously have no right to negotiate, but still believes that their powerless protest in prison is an idealistic pioneer leader of the Republic of Ireland who respects life and repairs the future. People, as the intermediary, the pastor is constantly awakening him. You have to recognize reality and imagination, but how can people who have been blocked for five years do it soberly! He still chose to bet his life.

The influence of the environment on the human heart is subtle and dwarfed. Hunger, here is the spiritual need to feel the extreme hunger in the real world, until the belief collapses and abandons oneself. For me, it is more dehumanizing than the physical abuse.

Hunger quotes

  • Father Dominic Moran: I want to know whether your intent is just purely to commit suicide here.

    Bobby Sands: You want me to argue about the morality of what I'm about to do and whether it's really suicide or not? For one, you're calling it suicide. I call it murder. And that's just another wee difference between us two. We're both Catholic men, both Republicans. But while you were poaching salmon in beautiful Kilrea, we were being burnt out of our house in Rathcoole. Similar in many ways, Dom, but life and experiences focused our beliefs differently. You understand me?

  • Bobby Sands: I'm clear of the reasons Dom. I'm clear of all the repercussions. I will act and I will not stand by and do nothing.
