Watching this film after living in Ireland for two years is more emotional.
From the perspective of the Chinese people's resistance to the invaders, even if the last drop of blood is shed and the last bullet is exhausted, the invaders must be driven out of their own land and turned into masters. Non-my family, its heart must be different.
But for the Irish, since the time of the Vikings, the occupants of this small island have always been changing, and you sing and I come on. After nearly 700 years under the rule of the British, even the Irish people are only the former British. The language also changed from Gaelic to English. their resistance. . Without such urgency and intensity, Britain would not have had 700 years of rule. If we must look for an example in Chinese history, it is probably Xinjiang to China.
For the Chinese, the influence of religion on the people is often overlooked. But Ireland, as a traditional Catholic country, is far more conflicted between religions than between nations. Northern Ireland is already fully Protestant land, and they consider themselves British, not alcoholic Irish. So there will be Ulster Volunteer Force.
As a civilization that has a long tradition, but its culture is not prominent, and the tradition is still animistic, it is very easy to be influenced by other high-level civilizations (if you play civilization, you know what I'm talking about). The modern culture of Ireland is influenced by Britain, the modern architecture of Ireland is influenced by the United Kingdom, and everything in modern Ireland is influenced by the United Kingdom. Therefore, the resistance of the Irish people is really not as strong as they imagined. They are more happy elves dancing tap dance in the countryside. They don't have the thoughtfulness of the French Revolution, the thoughtfulness of the German philosophers, and the ferocity of the British. So when the British backed down, it's understandable why so many would agree.
I once asked my Irish teachers and classmates what they thought of Northern Ireland. Most say it's good to be present, and that peace is far better than a nominal domination. And in the island of Ireland, apart from the name, you can't understand the difference between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Of course, if you talk about car insurance and taxes, it's another matter. .
