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.

2021 British Masters Exhibition. Limit received tickets before the opening. At the beginning, there is a guide video specially recorded by the director (with NG), talking about the creative background, the history of contradictions between Britain and Ireland, the controversy when the film was released and the universality of the work. 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. Some people say that if you accept such a treaty that is really betraying its original intention, the dead will die in vain... So communities and families are torn apart. , The bloodshed and the famine continue... The film has no stand, although it is complicated, it is still calm, the green color is bright, the folk songs are melodious, after reading it, I realize the intention of arranging the game at the beginning, the protagonist Damien once said, I hope this Ireland we're fighting for is worth it
