Ken Loach used the seemingly inattentive composition to make the beginning of the film, and even the unconventional moments in the opening captions were not intended to be a big deal. It can only be said that it fits the style of a seventy-year-old director. There are two shooting scenes in the play. One is that the older brother shot his younger brother, and the other is that the kid betrayed his comrade out of fear and was also shot. These two shootings gave this movie an unparalleled thickness and thickness. The intensity, like giving the audience two big saps, makes us suspicious of the nobility of a just war.  
The film describes a chapter in the bloody history of the British Empire. The British Empire has many similar situations in many other countries, and even Kenya in the 1950s can tell the same story; the director Ken has been interested in Ireland for a long time. This is just a small part of the empire, but the same The story can be told in Bangladesh, Kenya, and Tasmania.

    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.

A century ago, the Irish people's appeal for independence was to build a divided society for the people, not the rich and poor brought by the United Kingdom. They used guerrilla resistance to win the British retreat. However, internal divisions and civil wars began. Some people say that peace is exchanged by the dead with their lives, please accept it.
