There are always works like this, which can give you a glimpse of all human nature in two hours, including adherence to blood ideals, struggle, appeasement, weakness, surrender, spontaneous will, forced fear, absolute freedom or compromise. The past tense and the present tense of oneself, the self and others who made the same choice. The nails that are pulled out will always grow back, so I won't be afraid of this kind of pain in the future, but I'm also unwilling to endure it again. Understand the director's sentence it's universal. 丨 Don't stop. do not stop. do not stop.

In the face of war, no matter your position is left or right, you will become a martyr in the struggle for rights, wrapped in the cloak of freedom and democracy, and seemingly careless laying out, but revealing a deep introspection of human nature. I don't want to see you again" brings this emotion to a climax. The ending of the movie is indeed a lot grayer than Ken Loach's recent work, but it is also necessary. The evil of war will be read in the sentence of death.
