I only watched the 2008 movie recently, so I won't say much about the content, everyone knows it. The film shows Scotland, which is shrouded in plague, as a barren land. In fact, in British history, many English people discriminated against Scots. I have watched British documentaries these days. Scotland has many conflicts with England in history, and there have been many conflicts in history. Civil War. British history records that there have been many vicious cases in Scotland that challenged the bottom line of human beings. Whether these cases really happened or whether England was trying to smear Scotland is still a lot of controversy.
The film depicts that after the withdrawal of the government, Scotland quickly fell into a wild land controlled by cannibals. Scotland has been trying to become independent from the United Kingdom in recent years. The big reason is that the English people have always discriminated against Scots. They think that most of the Scots are savages. This kind of discrimination is deeply ingrained in the consciousness of some people, just as Tokyo people in Japan discriminate against Osaka people, and Chinese people in Shanghai and Beijing discriminate against non-local people. This kind of discrimination is different from China and Japan. Scotland was an independent country in history, but was later annexed by England, and the English always felt superior because they were the victors. In this film, Scotland is shown as a barren land. I believe that the reason why it is shot like this is not to look down on the Scots on purpose, but to show it subconsciously. I believe many Scots will be very dissatisfied.
Movies and TV programs are widely disseminated. At this time, the importance of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television can be seen, and those film and television dramas that deliberately intensify contradictions must be strictly checked. About ten years ago, I saw a sketch of urban people discriminating against rural people at a TV party. There are also many TV dramas that discriminate against rural people. In recent years, some people led by Zhou Libo have brought the regional blackness to the table, resulting in a situation where people from all over the world are attacking each other. For example, "people in Northeast China are all underworld", "people in Henan are all thieves", and "people in Xinjiang are all terrorists". Many people deliberately create conflicts and provoke regional and ethnic conflicts.
Not surprisingly, Scotland will be independent. This lesson is very profound, and we should learn from it.
