THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY ("The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves") won the Palme d'Or in 2006, which I think is well deserved. The narrative style of the film is as quiet and intense as its name, and the realism is like stewing meat slowly. The story begins in 1920. The Irish people launched the Irish War of Independence for freedom. Later, the United Kingdom and Ireland signed a peace treaty. The agreement will establish a free Irish state, which will fully control customs, tariffs and economic policies, but the new free state will Remaining under British colonial rule, members of the new Parliament would swear allegiance to the United Kingdom, and Northern Ireland would remain under British jurisdiction. The Irish people have different positions on this. Later, the Irish Civil War broke out. The brothers who were in the same boat became mortal enemies. In the end, the protagonist gave up his promising career as a doctor and wrote a suicide note to his lover, suffering for the true independence of Ireland. Shot and died young. Although the historical background is unfamiliar and the national differences are different, this fearless spirit of striving for freedom and independence for a lifetime is not limited by national boundaries. Coincidentally, the founding of New China also experienced the war of resistance and civil war, so I believe that people of all countries will feel the same. The film gradually pushes to the climax in the natural and simple narrative, which makes people feel sad and tearful. Such a story reminds me of a great Hungarian patriotic poet, Petofi Sandor, who died while fighting against the Russian army in the bloody battle of Sykesburg on July 31, 1849. He was only 26 years old. age. I would like to dedicate the poet's well-known "Freedom and Love" to all those who fight for freedom: life is precious, and love is more valuable. For freedom's sake, both can be thrown away. 2007-1-8

    From the perspective of Ireland’s anti-colonial struggle alone, it’s hard to be honest with overseas audiences, especially from the third world audiences in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Sneak release), the intensity of the struggle seems to be ugly to Chinese audiences who have suffered from the difficult education of the anti-Japanese. It is a bit pediatric... Fortunately, Ken Roach quickly turned his spearhead to the narrative line he is good at-inside the small room after tearing his rebellion. The radical debate between class contradictions and legal dignity is comparable to freedom and land ten years ago. "You can't act arbitrarily, otherwise, how is it different from the British to be driven away"? Of course, this debate seems to have their own offensive and defensive terms, but because of the post-event Zhuge, it is hard not to incline people to the democratic leftist position represented by Damian, and thus fall into the topic of premature ejaculation. The cliché trajectory, and the follow-up development proves that there are indeed no surprises. In contrast, the filming director transformed his other signature motif, folk ball sports, into a mixed technique that provokes the British army to search and create tragedies, which is eye-catching, although it comes from the fun of the movie rather than the story itself. The emotions lead. Samsung and a half

    A large number of unclaimed shots objectively show that cruel era, without dazzling film techniques, but the director still chose his own position (younger brother) and chose death to commemorate his ideals. “It’s easy to understand what you oppose, but it’s hard to understand what you support.” PS: 1 Arguing twice 2 Shooting twice
