Real power, simple faith, and simple expression. But it's a powerful, real, serious film with an attitude in its style that we admire.

The film's long scenes unfold with little dialogue. It is to let you see, you can see, intuitive, intuitive people's real life. In the face of these all explanations are superfluous. As the protagonist said, my life needs to be real, not all kinds of language games. Their serenity has its own power, like a silent volcano, endlessly alive. Every tiny movement takes one's breath away. They were silent in the cell, sitting quietly next to the quiet clothes. Then everything erupted, gushing out, everything that could be seen danced in their hands, their life energies descended like beautiful waterfalls, such a powerful dance full of life's own rhythm, erupting in destruction, they There is a passion for martyrdom, for revolution, for resistance, for faith, for life, for oneself.

The dialogue between the protagonist and the priest is casual and condensed, without the slightest drag. They were talking about the pastor's younger brother, Bobby's childhood favorite off-road, and once he went to a race with a lot of kids, and the opponents laughed at their accent, they didn't understand it, but they knew what it was, and then they saw one end stuck in a rock The donkey, twittering, he suddenly understood that it didn't need, he just held it in the water until it drowned... He said he had simple faith, that was the most important thing, he was not in To escape is not to make a needless sacrifice, he has to do it, and all meaning of his life disappears without freedom. Even hope.

In his last days, everything was so weak and moving. He heard the sound of birds flapping their wings in the sky, and he was so weak that he lost consciousness that all he saw was the moving of human lips, the humming bug-like sound. He opened his eyes with the last force, shaking, shaking, staring, mother... He ran on the country road, kept running, he couldn't stand up, he kept running. where is he from? He must go back. That kind of running made him feel the reality of life, that life had really existed. As he is now on a hunger strike, he is walking step by step towards the truth of life in death.

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.
