In time, look after Teddy.
I am afraid, inside, he is already dead. I
remember that "Weekend Pictorial" had a Maojian column, she once talked about "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves", she said that regardless of Cannes favor this Whether the works of the old director Ken Loach are conservative or for other reasons, just because this history cannot be forgotten, it is not an exaggeration for this film to win the award.
What makes this film different from general theme films is the special feelings that the two brothers have involuntarily in the changing environment of the times.
The passage in the title is a sentence in the suicide note written to his wife before his brother Teddy, played by Slyan Murphy, is about to be executed by his brother Damier.
The Irishman Damier was about to go to London to be a doctor, but after witnessing the brutality ravaged by the occupied army, he decided to join the guerrillas led by Teddy to resist. A leak of the traitor, they were arrested, Teddy was brutally pulled out the nails of both hands, when he was taken back to the cell, Teddy kept shouting in a trance, I didn't say anything. Damier comforted Teddy in pain, and the soldier next to him asked Damier how long you had known him. Damier said, all my life, he is my brother.
They insisted on fighting for the House of Commons, considered illegal by the British invaders, and fighting for the Irish.
It was only later that differences arose, the House of Commons accepted negotiations with the British, the British withdrew from Ireland, and Ireland was subordinate to the United Kingdom.
Teddy chose a conditional compromise, and Damier continued to fight, only this time their guns were pointed at each other.
During an operation to steal a weapon, Damier was arrested.
It was his brother Teddy who interrogated him.
Teddy said, I don't actually want this dress, I just want peace.
However, Damier still didn't say a word, he just looked at Teddy calmly.
Then start writing a suicide note.
Dear Sinead:
I tried not to get involved in the war, and I got involved. Now I want to get out, but I can't. What strange creatures we are, and I cherish all of you, body and soul, in these last moments. You've said that you want your children to taste freedom, and I'm praying for that day, Sinead. But I think that day will be much longer than we think, Dan told me all about what I was fighting for, he said, it's easy to know what you're fighting for, but it's hard to know what you're fighting for. I know now, it gives me strength, and also, take care of Teddy, I'm afraid his heart is dead. The hour hand ticks, I imagine your heart beating on my palm, I keep the medal you left me, and my heart trembles, which also gives me courage. Goodbye Sinead, I love you forever.
I love you now, and always will.
The execution was executed, and Teddy gave the order in tears.
We stand on the opposite side so easily, involuntarily, and we never have the same philosophy. This road, our understanding is not correct, maybe there is no so-called correct, maybe all wrong, but so what.
When the wind blows the rice waves, there is often a large green world in the film, and then the traces of the wind passing through it.
So sad, they went to the opposite side step by step, they did not forget that they were comrades in arms, peace, the only purpose they needed, but brought two different paths.
In fact, when two little people are caught in the predicament of history, is there any other way?
When the news of the annihilation of the Huang Wei Corps reached Chen Geng's ears, was there really only a sigh?
We're just Faust pulled by Mephistopheles, and there's never been room for struggle.
