The Nightingale
This is a horror film about revenge set in 1920. But this is not a pure revenge movie. It is a three-tiered theme of resisting colonial oppression. Ireland is a colony of the British Empire. When the Irish came to Australia as servants or slaves with the English people. , Became a colonist again.
The cold tones of this movie render the cold atmosphere and dark style of the whole movie. The branches of the dark night are used throughout the film as a transition sign for the montage. The whole film is straightforward.
Obstacles In fact, this movie shows a relatively real background and society at that time. The black Charlie was really touching when the stupid lieutenant snatched and died.
I think violence only reflects the social environment at the time, so it makes sense. I don't think the violence shown in the film is superfluous or used for grandstanding. Because it has been nearly 100 years for human beings to gradually reduce wars and gradually move towards peace.
While on the branch, Clair had a chance to kill the lieutenant, but instead of saying that she wanted to go home, I think Clair was using Billy. And there is a ray of human hope for the lieutenant. She has always had a motherly mind and has always hoped to change the fantasies of others, but as Billy said, there are always people who are obsessed with it, so if they can't be repaired, they will be killed. So Billy chose to kill them.
I don't think the tragedy is due to fate, because the same experience happened to Clair's neighbors. But the neighbors are more rational, unlike the Clairs, who are impulsive, stupid, and submissive. There is no if in the world, but there are so many alternatives that she has no choice. I believe that fate is the result of choice. It is very difficult for women to survive in turbulent times, but they are not lifeless. Clair's weakness, stupidity, and hesitation created this tragedy. When she had a chance to take revenge, she still hesitated, saying that she was naive and that she had experienced enough suffering. This should prove that there must be something hateful in the poor.
Quite often, you can protect yourself by being silent, just like a lieutenant's horseman. He didn't say a word in this movie, but he lived longer.
Among the old couples they met, I saw the dawn of racial equality. The candlelight, wood fire, stove fire, wildfire in the movie, and finally the brilliant sunrise on the horizon (the sun is a ball of fire), the nightingale is finally reborn from the fire
