It’s been a long time since I saw such an exciting movie

A particularly great film, simple, direct, calm, and without pretentious publicity and thinking about the national spirit. The film
does not have those weakly boasting heroism, let
alone the recent popular "humanity" performance. It is truly naked. cruel, reflects the attitude against the power of
history is difficult to use "just" to speech, on behalf of poor and weak but also might not be able to call and get justice, but there is no historical consciousness speech, only low-level sensational, not to mention the commercial motives
reading I am really ashamed of our mentally retarded blockbusters,
but those who want to watch big war scenes will be disappointed and
think about it carefully. This director is indeed very capable and can show such a complicated and entangled historical period through the encounters of a pair of brothers. If you lose control a little, you will fall into the trap of sensationalism and overly subjective stance.
But there should still be a distance between him and the truly top masters. In terms of the concept of the story, in the end, the elder brother shot the younger brother, and the previous younger brother shot the partner who grew up with him. The correspondence between these two paragraphs is a metaphor for the "brothers' fretting" in the Irish Civil War. The traces of this plot arrangement are heavy and deliberate.

After chatting with my friends about this film, I realized that what moved me the most was the attitude of sacrificing for the principles and beliefs in my heart. Even if this principle becomes trivial or even ridiculous after the circumstances pass, there is still such a desperate attitude. the spirit of.

In contrast, the current Chinese are completely different.

    There are always works like this, which can give you a glimpse of all human nature in two hours, including adherence to blood ideals, struggle, appeasement, weakness, surrender, spontaneous will, forced fear, absolute freedom or compromise. The past tense and the present tense of oneself, the self and others who made the same choice. The nails that are pulled out will always grow back, so I won't be afraid of this kind of pain in the future, but I'm also unwilling to endure it again. Understand the director's sentence it's universal. 丨 Don't stop. do not stop. do not stop.

    Teddy: That's enough of that now.

    Dan: It's not enough of it! The IRA are backing the landlords and crushing people like you and me.
