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?

The fate of the cruel war is always similar, the filming is very stable, and the group scenes are well filmed, but I just can't like it, it feels very ordinary.

Damien: How many British soldiers in the country, Tim?
Tim: Too many.
Damien: How many?
Teddy: About ten thousand, Damien.
Damien: Ten Thousand. Tans, artillery units, machine-gun car, cavalry...
Teddy: And many more besides. What's your point, Damien?
Damien: It's young men like Micheail we're talkin' about, Teddy.
Teddy: Micheail was a real Irishman, Damien.
Ned: You're a coward, Damien.
Damien: I'm a coward? And you're a hero, isn't it, Ned? You're gonna take down the British army with your hurley, is that it?
Rory: For Christ's sake, Damien. What about Micheail?
Damien: Look, Micheail was killed because he wouldn't say his name in English. Is that what you call a martyr, Teddy, is it?
Sinead: So we should all buy a one-way ticket to London, is that it, Damien?
