Cold eyes show the pain of revolution
In the beginning, the Republican Army was a bunch of ordinary people.
The first shot is a harmonious daily life, where everyone plays ball in a peaceful manner. The second shot is the murder of the tyrannical British army, followed by the beating at the train station. The image of the British army...

Ireland cannot be completely independent in the eyes of outsiders.
The island of Ireland is now divided into the Republic of Ireland and the British-administered Northern Ireland.

It seems that Ken Rocky decided ten years ago that his movie was only about politics, and made a war movie that was flat to the extreme.

"I tried to avoid getting involved in the war, but I got involved; now I want to get out, but I can't." From the Irish War of Independence to the Civil War, the two brothers went from joining forces to falling apart. When they went out together, they didn't do anything. They were either arrested while sleeping in the jungle, or watched their friends get humiliated and their stronghold burned down by the British... Finally, a phased peace came. But the nightmare-like question became clear: after all, what are we fighting for? Can we compromise for incomplete success? In the end, the elder brother chose to compromise based on the logic of politicians; the younger brother chose to continue to fight based on pure nationalism. They turned their guns on each other. The wind is blowing the wheat waves, and the town is still quiet, but no one has watched the struggle and cannibalism that took place here from beginning to end. They are just insignificant existences in a political game, two inconspicuous straws in the wheat wave.

Damien: Your presence here is a crime, a foreign occupation. You tell me what I'm supposed to do as a democrat. Turn the other cheek for another 700 years? Is that it?
