This is a story about revenge. The background is the darkest five years in Irish history, the Irish famine of 1845-1850, the seventh year after the end of the Opium War, and the British Empire brought endless endless to his neighbors. blood and tears. Although the theme of the film is revenge, some inconspicuous details still give me a great shock, which I will discuss below. The male protagonist is an Irish-British soldier who was tired of the military life as a killing machine and left the army in Afghanistan and became a deserter of the British Empire. The male protagonist, who was disarmed and returned to the farm, originally planned to return to his hometown to have a relationship with his mother and brother's family and then take the money he had saved to pan for gold in the United States, but the first news he heard in his hometown was that his mother died of starvation and his brother was hanged by the British. Next, more unfortunate things happened in front of his eyes. His nephew was shot and killed by the British police. He was also taken to the police station for investigation for obstructing law enforcement. On the night he was taken away, his sister-in-law and two nieces were frozen to death in the British in destroyed houses. After being found to be a deserter in the interrogation room, the male protagonist's force value exploded in an instant. After destroying the police station, he returned to his home in ruins to find his only remaining relatives hugged to death. The murderous sword cultivated by the empire turned its muzzle at this moment, and the road to revenge for blood relatives began. Another main line of the film is that the British colonial authorities immediately organized a pursuit team after receiving the intelligence of the police station. After joining this three-person group, Halla and the male lead are old comrades-in-arms and acquaintances. The British authorities also know this, but what they don't know is that the male lead risked his life to save Halla's life on the battlefield in Afghanistan. The national hatred did not stop these two men from sympathizing with each other, and the British will pay dozens of lives for their arrogance and conceit! The team also knew his intentions through investigation. Through trapping, the male protagonist was finally caught and trapped in the heavily guarded room. The protagonists of the story were finally in the same frame. Because the male protagonist was thinking of his old love, Halla lived under his gun twice. When the male protagonist was about to be captured, Halla refused to go against his conscience and was reluctant to shoot and wound his old comrade-in-arms. The male protagonist seized the opportunity to fight back and escaped. . Halla's betrayal of her family made the British furious, and she was sentenced to death for treason. , the two fight side by side once again!
