Actually I don't know ken loach, I haven't seen it, I don’t know his unique film operation mode. Of course I think he is expressing something on his own.
Actually I don’t know Ireland. What I know is no more than the poems of Emerald Island, Shamrock, Irish Coffee, Republican Army, Dublin, and Ye Ci , And George Bernard Shaw. When I talked about that period of history, I couldn’t help but Baidu. Yes, the history traversed from 1920 to 1922. The
only thing I know is that I hate war, even emotionally. Pity the death of the aggressor. I know that all life is precious and all wars can be traced back to sin.
Of course, I still want to say a few words about this film.

In fact, most people don’t understand ideology, politics or the country very well. Machines. They are workers, poor people, awakened intellectuals, they are patriotic Irish. In fact, they don’t know where this troubled island nation will go. But they know they want to fight for their freedom.
They take up arms, have no choice.

later, one day in the suicide note inside, medical school graduates and ethnic insurgents Damien, wrote,
"I tried very hard not to war, I did my best, and now I want to quit, but impossible"
so His fate has been decided since he joined the guerrillas led by his brother Teddy, and since he didn’t get on the train to London.
The brothers Damien and Teddy have the same blood flowing. What they love is all green. Ireland. They were arrested together and Damien tried to replace Teddy to be sentenced. They fought together. Under the leadership of Teddy, Damien, who was as unwilling to face death as me, killed the British for the first time. He also personally executed the rebellious child Chris. Chris was only 17 years old.
At this moment, Damien’s body was lying on the ground, and it was his grieving brother Teddy who untied him. But just now, he ordered the execution of Damien. It was also Teddy. He yelled hysterically, yelled, until the end of another life.
This is already in the tragic 1922. The British government and Ireland signed a still unequal treaty between Britain and Ireland in December of the previous year. At the same time, the civil war broke out. Due to different views on how to achieve complete freedom, some people The resistance continued, and some people joined the government. The hands and feet were torn apart, and the brothers in the trenches were on both sides. The uprising broke out in 1916, and countless people fell on the road. Damien and Dan, the dead resisters, were not able to see The arrival of full freedom on April 18, 1949. And Teddy's choice may not be the correct way to this result. Even today, even all Irish people may not see the return of the 6th county in the north. .

people were put at flood times, there have been paid with his life.
Chris's mother received Damien sent death,
Damien beloved wife Sinead received a Teddy sent death.
and in the past, Chris's mother looked at Chris Entering Damien's guerrillas, Sinead watched Teddy lead Damien into the guerrillas. They just hoped that their relatives would return safely.
Damien executed Chris, Teddy executed Damien.
Dan finally died under the Irish gun, Luo Li also killed two Irishmen.
Both are a joke of fate.

But the curtain of the times is drawn, and the same blood is still flowing, the blood of Ireland, the blood of brothers.

End with an Irish folk song
"To her who died Love
also reminds me deeply of my hometown, Ireland,
when the breeze blows through the valley and the
golden wheat fields are swaying, and
the words of compassion are beyond words."
