The fear of dying at the hands of one's own people is greater than being executed by the enemy.

There are two executions and shooting scenes, one is Teddy's execution of the British, and the other is Teddy's execution of his brother Damian. In the face of national hatred, although the British died with fear, they were still able to shout the slogan of the country before they died. It seemed that they died tragically and for the country. During the execution of Damian, the camera is deliberately slowed down to show Damian's fear. In several battles, Damien, who was relatively accustomed to life and death, knew that the fear of dying at the hands of his own people was incomparable in front of the enemy.

    #资料馆留影#Samsung half, a movie that makes people uncomfortable, even a bit heavy. Of course, it cannot be denied that the director had ideas. Talking about Ireland’s independence movement against the British Empire in the 20th century, he wanted to express views such as "revolutionaries finally became oppressors" and "overthrow one after another". This is the terrible thing. Now that you can guess what story you want to tell, you have to tell it again. Is it necessary? In the end, the sensationalism will not be forgotten, and there must be love and widows in the war. . . Some British movies are like political history textbooks at a glance. They are always the hatred of the country and the family. From the beginning to the end, they are full of murder, conspiracy, betrayal, and war scenes. Oh, I can't bear some aesthetic fatigue.

    I saw it at IFC in New York many years ago. I have always been interested in the themes of the Irish Revolution, and I have had a lot of feelings after watching this movie: nationality, class, religion, language, and destiny. Ireland, the third world in Europe, and the forefront of struggle, there is no end to the memory of suffering.
