Faith is a magical thing

Political beliefs or something is incredible. I really liked the dialogue between Bobby Sands and the pastor in the middle. The pastor's questions were all our doubts, and the screenwriter gave us the answers, and the speed was fast, smooth and thoughtful. Probably the most concentrated dialogue in the whole film, or basically all the dialogues in the whole film are in this place. . . If you have a firm stance in this general direction, don't try to convince him. He said he wouldn't stand by doing nothing, and he knew what he was doing was right. That's good to understand, people's own choice. Although I can't agree with this kind of self-abuse protest, I really feel a little stupid, and the government that will be shaken by it is even more unreasonable or non-existent. That is, it is immortal in the hearts of the people. Nine people died in the hunger strike, and the government did not recognize their political status. Should those who think this approach work be said to be naive, or are they just trying to be martyred. The pastor had raised this question, but he didn't fully understand Sands' answer, and part of it was that he didn't have time to react. I will always admire people who have faith, but only admire them.
The problems of Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom have never been very clear. On Bloody Sunday in 1972, I vaguely remember where I saw the introduction. The Catholic parade in Northern Ireland was suppressed to death by the police, so the Republican Army began to demand that the British be driven out. When Ireland was founded, Northern Ireland turned out to be a referendum decision to belong to the United Kingdom. Most people said that it was because there were so many British people living in Northern Ireland that they tended to unite. Are there a few radicals on the Republican side? The ceasefire has been in place for 90 years, but the conflict continues. It seems that Northern Ireland is not autonomous now? But count the region, and the capital? Belfast? So, the Brits themselves are messy enough, and they always get involved in the Tibet thing. ╮(╯_╰)╭
The film is an excellent hunger strike educational film. It's quite a long process to be completely watching how a person starves to death after the conversation. . . Loved the way the last boy (that was Sands' phantom as a kid?) ran through the forest, stopped, turned back, and then turned back and ran on without hesitation. . . Contrast the sky with the crows and the death of Sands. And in the beginning, the warden was smoking quietly leaning against the wall in the snow after beating people. You saw his exhaustion and numbness before you knew what he was doing, and you knew it wasn't easy for him. . He was later shot and killed by men from Northern Ireland. And the riot policeman who was crying against the wall. It's a neutral point of view.
Like everyone said, great movie, but I wouldn't want to watch it a second time.

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.
