The sound of gunfire broke my heart

War is a cruel and powerless catastrophe. No one wants to mention how it started. There is the conspiracy of politicians, the dedication of radicals, and the compromise of the people.

Someone broke into the home unreasonably, tearing up the peace and harmony. The women and the elderly were pleading, and the men raised their guns in anger. Perhaps only in this way can we go back to the peace of the past.

With aggression and resistance, war begins. Victory after the assault, life and death in an instant, betrayal when weak and tenacity after being captured are indescribable pain in my eyes. There is a voice roaring from the bottom of my heart, accompanied by a heart-piercing cry, go to this damn war!

All traitors should be shot! So the younger companions were taken away. The deafening sound of gunfire drew a stop to life, just lift your hand gently and press the trigger. I haven't had time to explain it to anyone, and I haven't even had time to regret and apologize. If you make a mistake, you will be sentenced to death. This is war!

Years of anti-Japanese war did not bring the dawn of happiness, and the tired and numb heart compromised. Some people have given up their original intentions, the independence and belief they once pursued, because there are innocent people who are looking forward to a peaceful day, even if it becomes an accessory. But how hard it is to survive!

Of course, there are also steadfast people who are unwilling to throw away the dignity and belief of the nation, so the revolutionary side is forced to become a bandit that everyone shouts and beats.

So the war has continued, and it has become a grudge for generations.

Reluctance to go to more reviews right or wrong. This is really a tragedy. Too many comments can only draw a clear line between us and that era, and then pose as a ruthless bystander.

Pray that everything is history and will not repeat itself.

    7.5/8 It is easy for you to know what you resist but it is difficult to know what you pursue; the crowd gathers together because of the revolution and is torn apart by the victory of the revolution; the tragedy cycle of idealists and realists is not final in this struggle Victor; the revolution will never bring the goodness that was first promoted, but will only spawn more bloody hatred and disaster; this kind of movie is the type I want to make

    It is really a history of blood and tears of a nation, and the most tragic thing is that it has continued to the present. Stronger than many Irish films that promote national independence, Ken Loach does not try to exaggerate sadness, nor does he make any definite political propositions, nor does he portray Wallace-style heroes, but maximizes group portraits. Observe their dilemmas at the micro and macro levels: how people are torn apart by political ideas, and raise a series of huge political problems: in the face of the mighty British Empire, is national independence idealistic or realistic? Can personal and national interests be reconciled? Who should control the violent machine? While he may have an answer in his heart, this may be the one he struggled the most. The opening game is meaningful.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley quotes

  • Peggy: [singing, at the wake for Micheail] The old for her / The new that made me think / On Ireland dearly / While soft the wind blew down the glen / And shook the golden barley / 'Twas hard the woeful words to frame / To break the ties that bound us / But harder still to bear the shame / Of foreign chains around us / And so I said the mountain glen / I'll seek at morning early / While soft the wind blew down the glen / And shook the golden barley

  • Damien: I shot Chris Reilly in the heart. I did that. You know why. I'm not going to sell out.

    Teddy: [walks to the door, not lookin at Damien] Better write your letters Damien.

    [turna around and faces him]

    Teddy: Tell us where the arms are... or you will be shot at dawn.
