The story of the film is very simple, that is, a protest action at the cost of life was launched for rights. The film has less dialogue, and about 50% of the lines focus on the conversation between Bobby Sands and the pastor. It is estimated that many friends have difficulty sticking to this paragraph. Director McQueen, who was a visual artist, better use pictures to convey information. The films rarely use moving shots, and most of them are dark and depressing. Coupled with the sporadic telegraph-style dialogue, it makes people feel depressed and dull. In fact, there is one scene that is very impressive: the prison guards cleaning, and the entire still shot lasts nearly two minutes, from one end of the corridor to the other, which is extremely depressing. So, "Hunger" is not a qualified entertainment film, but it is indeed an impressive work.
I was also confused about the conversation between Bobby Sands and the pastor, and may still not know the specifics of Northern Ireland. But there is great power hidden in the calm, and when it comes to drowning a dying foal and being willing to be punished for the respect of children, the whole feeling is like a volcano erupting. To be more specific, the blood boiled when William Wallace raised his arms and shouted: "You can take our lives, but you'll never take our freedom." It's just that Bobby Sands is in prison, facing a priest, and it can only be regarded as a muffled sound; and Wallace has received thousands of Scottish responses. But they all yearn for freedom from the bottom of their hearts and insist on their beliefs. On the way to realize their dreams, they will never be alone because they are accompanied by their beliefs.
A foal on the verge of death, is it to watch it die in agony, or let it know it comfortably, even though we will be accused of being a killer? Bobby Sands is just doing what he's supposed to do, and his goal is to reduce unnecessary pain. At that time, he did not take into account his own moral orientation. In challenging Margaret Thatcher, he followed this principle as always: "I'm just the Northern Ireland I love so much!"
Sadly, Bobby Sands didn't live to see his ideal become a reality. But for him, who yearns for freedom and sticks to his beliefs, he has no regrets. He just did what he thought should be done. Last but not least, this film should not be watched while eating.
