the price of freedom

When I saw this movie in early 2007, my impression is still very deep

. The theme of the movie is very heavy. It can be said that it is a complete tragedy. Although the BT download site classifies it in the war category, only one part of the whole drama has a gunfight. The scene.
It is the story of Ireland's struggle for national liberation. Although Ireland was semi-independent from Britain in the end, and some of the leaders also recognized and satisfied with this independence, most of the Irish did not agree with this semi-independence. They think their comrades' blood has been shed in vain, and they organize to overthrow the government in power.
The hero and his brother begin to fight side by side to make their country independent, but later the brother recognizes the semi-independence, The male protagonist stood on the opposite side of his brother, and was arrested in an operation to rob a government gun, and finally died on the execution ground under the order of his own brother.
I think this film should be a political film. Two political thoughts Opposition, but both of these ideas are for their own country, to free their country and people from the goddamn British rule.
I can't say which kind of thinking is more suitable for Ireland at that time. There is a scene in the movie about the brother and the The younger brother and some Irish people were arguing in the room. The arguments on both sides were very strong, but neither of them could convince the other until the battle finally came.
The elder brother tried to persuade his younger brother to stand on his side, but the younger brother insisted on his own. In prison, the elder brother once again tried to convince the younger brother to reveal the location of the weapons hiding and the activities of the rebel group, but the younger brother refused again. Because before, the younger brother had personally executed a traitor who betrayed his brother, and that traitor was him A good friend from childhood to adulthood.

This movie uses a lot of plots to describe the damage to civilians caused by war and the changes in people's mentality during the war . This movie with a

very strong tragic color gives me a very special feeling. After watching it I have always felt panic in my heart. I can understand the psychology of the characters and their respective positions, but...
When I saw my brother refused the request of the officers around him to issue a death sentence for him, his painful expression made him I instantly felt the urge to cry.
In the end, the
elder brother personally went to deliver his younger brother's suicide note and relics to his younger sister-in-law. He was scolded and beaten by his younger sister-in-law. They were childhood sweethearts before.

The price of national independence, I think the price is too high...

    The foggy picture, revolutionary romanticism and cruelty at the same time. Although the filming is very plain, it has the taste of independent revolution too. Almost every scene has full kinetic energy, and the emotional rendering is extremely in place.

    Think Land and Freedom. We must be overwhelmed by the complexity and brutality of politics. However, the film portrays the British army in such a bad way that it makes one wonder whether it is colonial rule or the lack of freedom under brutal rule that they cannot bear. Some people say that the compromise is just a change of the ruler's accent and flag colors, but are you sure that the result of the struggle is not just a change of the ruler's accent and flag colors?

  • Damien: It's easy to know what you are against, but quite another to know what you are for.

  • Finbar: [the IRA have just gunned down several Black and Tans] Mercenaries! That were paid to come over here to make us crawl, and to wipe us out. We've just sent a message to the British cabinet that will echo and reverbarate around the world! If they bring their savagery over here, we will meet it with a savagery of our own!
