cannibalism

The vast wilderness of Ireland is very moving, because it carries the souls of countless struggles. How breathtaking is the beauty created by the royal family and nobles, how rich and fragrant the wine in the hands of the nobles, how gorgeous and dazzling the gold threads on the uniforms, how miserable and muddy the struggle of the commoners is. In the 19th century, in the era of great famine when there was not only no food, but also houses were chosen not to let people live in, and a large number of tenant farmers froze to death and starved to death in the wilderness, faith led people to hell. The country that is written into the constitution is heaven.

Lu Xun said that people in the old Chinese society cannibalize people. Look at the history restored by the people of various countries, which autocratic society does not eat people. The commoners before the collapse of the absolute monarchy in Europe, the commoners before the Meiji Restoration in Japan, and the commoners in the Qing Dynasty all lived worse than dogs. Power is concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people, and the state apparatus has been reduced to a violent tool of private power. This is the inevitable result. The now-recognized bright road is also "trampled" by the skulls of countless civilians who have experienced the miserable world.

    It is also a relatively refreshing Irish green forest piece, which is full of rivers and lakes.

    The whole film is very desolate. If you think it's a cool movie like two men fighting for 300 rounds, you're looking for the wrong place. Although the theme is revenge, the pace is really, really slow. Knowing what the director wants to express so slowly, Hugo Weaving's temperament is really British, almost forgetting he is Australian

Black '47 quotes

  • Lord Kilmichael: The peasants are all the same. No appreciation of beauty.

    Conneely: Beauty would be held in much higher regard, Sir, if it could be eaten.

    Hannah: No excuse tonight. It was your accomplices.

    Red: I have no accomplices.

    Hannah: Oh. I found the guns. If you don't cooperate, they'll charge you with treason. And I'm not nterested in seeing you punished unnecessarily. I sympathise with the Young Irelanders.

    Red: No, you don't. You're a puppet of the crown.

    Hannah: A subject. Loyal subject.

    Red: So feck off back home to England then.

    Hannah: I prefer it here, Mr McCormack, I find it challenging. There is no place harder to get someone to tell the truth.

    Red: Or does England not want you anymore?
