Watch a movie on CCTV Movie Channel, often a few years after the movie has been released. But time will not erase the charm of a good movie. No matter when you watch it, a good movie can always make people's hearts rip and sigh. Ireland and Luxembourg co-produced the movie " Black 1847" is such a good movie.
The Irish disaster in 1847 was severe: famine and plague ravaged the barren land at the same time, and a large number of poor people died. The high-ranking British colonial rulers, not only did not try their best to rescue the local people, but put on an air of contempt and arrogance, and indifferently used the so-called regulations to demolish and burn the shacks of the poor, and let the orphans, widows and mothers starve to death and freeze to death. As if the more Irish people died, the better, so that the British would be able to take more Irish land.
This naturally provokes resistance and revenge from the wise men of Ireland.
A Irishman named Feeney has served in the British army for many years. He has successively helped the British fight in wars in India, , Afghanistan, and other places. After returning to his hometown, he found that his mother starved to death and his eldest brother was shot by the British. He also witnessed the tragic deaths of his sister-in-law, nephew and niece. Furious, Feeney went down the road of revenge to avenge his family. The British ruler sends three people to capture Feeney. One of the three was a British captain, the other was a captain's attendant, and the other was Hanna, a veteran who had made great contributions to his crimes. This Hanna is Feeney's old comrade-in-arms, and Feeney once saved Hanna's life on the battlefield. The
film unfolds intensely in revenge, pursuit, and anti-chasing, closely interlocking and thrilling. At the beginning of the film, a large number of shots were used to show poverty, hunger and starvation in the desolate Irish land. In addition to famine and plague, the Irish people also faced severe spiritual torture, and they were forced to give up their religion for many years and embrace "Protestantism". Some people have to surrender their souls in order to eat to survive.
A large British landowner, covering thousands of acres of land, ignored the hungry locals and shipped truckloads of food to the UK. The captain's attendant, whose conscience was still alive, turned his guns and forced the landlord to give out some food for the people who were dying of starvation. The arrogant English landowner refused, and he ordered his guards to shoot and kill the captain's squire. These changes have tortured Hanna's conscience. In the process of chasing Feeney, he also secretly protected him. At the end of the story, with Fineyhanna's cooperation inside and out, the British landlord was shot by Feeney, the food was given to the poor, and the innocents were released from prison. Feeney, who fought continuously, was unfortunately shot and wounded by a British captain while surrounded by the enemy. In addition to being extremely sleepy and fatigued, he died heroically. They force the locals to speak English which they are totally unfamiliar with, curse Irish is a horrible damn vernacular. In court decisions, Irish people who do not speak English have no chance to defend themselves. They were sentenced to hard labor and years in prison by a British judge just for stealing a little food for a starving child! There are many scenes in the film, all showing the arrogant discrimination and oppression of the British against the Irish. The British colonized Ireland for more than 100 years, and now Northern Ireland is still under British rule. "Black 1847" is the Irish people's dissatisfaction and resistance to colonial rule, a wake-up call and reflection on the humiliating slavery and exploitation. The real historical facts of
, the vast and desolate Irish scenery, the vivid and witty language of the characters, the very individual characters, the thrilling chase and killing plot step by step, the superb acting skills of the actors, etc., together constitute the very charming "Black". 1847".
