The director obviously has a strong ability to control plots and lines. He very skillfully weaves the background of the conflict between Britain and Ireland, the dark corruption of the police, the brutal humanity of the prison, and the experience of the protagonist, clearly showing how this background affects the growth of an ordinary person. How did it affect the emotional mindset of a pair of ordinary father and son? However, the director is also on another level, revealing to us deeper thinking about human nature.

Why do you only praise DDL, is it as good as you boast? In fact, the role of father is the real protagonist, and the acting skills of the old drama bones are called perfection. The last half hour of this film was not good, so hurry up and finish the story for the protagonist in a hurry. I think it would be better to make it a two-line cross narrative of father-son love and reversal.
