      Black is the color of freedom!

      As can be seen from the title of the film, this film is a plot film with a history as its theme. The time point is placed in the horrific era of famine in Irish history. The key role, there are not many movies that focus the plot on this history, this film is not a magnificent epic like "Braveheart", there is no grand scene arrangement, no shocking war scenes, this film Focusing on an ordinary ranger, compared to ordinary historical films that emphasize the independence and resistance of...

      cannibalism

      The vast wilderness of Ireland is very moving, because it carries the souls of countless struggles. How breathtaking is the beauty created by the royal family and nobles, how rich and fragrant the wine in the hands of the nobles, how gorgeous and dazzling the gold threads on the uniforms, how miserable and muddy the struggle of the commoners is. In the 19th century, in the era of great famine when there was not only no food, but also houses were chosen not to let people live in, and a large...

      Slight spoilers, mainly the historical background at that time

The first Anglo-Afghan war took place from 1839 to 1842. Britain has colonized more than half of India. Coveted Afghanistan, Russia established its own pro-Russian regime in Afghanistan (actually deceived), and then Britain sent troops to Afghanistan with the "Russian...

      Revenge of a famine

      Text | Jia Nan

      Noir 1847 is Irish director Lance Daley's sixth feature film. When it comes to this director, many people will not forget the youth growth film "Kiss" that he directed, showing the child's warm and dreamy little world. "Black 1847" did not continue the exploration of this kind of youth theme, but chose the special story background of the Irish famine.

      Director Lance Daly is unique in...

      The unlucky are the most incompetent people

      The unfortunate people in history are the most incompetent people

      Everyone knows that the 1840 Opium War, the British devils were armed to the teeth, and they surrendered to the defeated Chinese army. This movie will tell you, in fact, in the process of British conquest of the world, in 1847, the male No. 1 finished the Afghan War, and maybe also participated in the Opium War, and found out how hard the most incompetent peasant class in his hometown was, and He went to...

      Emotionally too restrained, even though the blood is not cold, emotionally too alienated, especially the moment Barry Keoun raised his gun, without the scorching heat of the anger caused by injustice sweeping the screen, everyone is like a humid winter. Speechless gunpowder. If you don't have the fetters of "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves", why not let go of your hands and feet and kill the...

    The film attempts to restore an extremely important but extremely rare story background, using a rather western-style revenge story as a tragic entry point in Irish history. The opening is a world of famine, and the second half turns into a revenge scene with a wonderful gunfight. The thematic significance of the film goes far beyond the film itself   .

    Movie quotes

    • Feeney: [when a gun aimed at him at close range fails to fire] Damp day. You should have kept your powder dry.

    • Conneely: The body belongs to Beartla O'Naughton. Rent collector for Lord Kilmichael. Somebody came into his house and killed him. An unexpected end for the pig but... he'll be ate all the same.

    • Pope: "For whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." Drunkenness and fecklessness is the economics of the famine in the west.

      Reporter on train: And the continued crop failure.

      Pope: Failure, sir, lies in the character of the people.
