吹動大麥的風 The Wind That Shakes the Barley
吹動大麥的風 (肯洛區, 2006)
長久以來愛爾蘭一直是個紛爭不斷之地，愛爾蘭人民們極欲脫離大英帝國政府的統治而獨立，除了因軍隊的欺壓產生連綿不絕的仇恨外，愛爾蘭人本身激烈的個性也是一大主因。關注英國種族和階級問題的肯洛區和老搭檔編劇保羅拉佛提，呈現一個包裝在愛爾蘭共和軍早期歷史中的家庭悲劇。
戴米恩和泰迪是一對無法忍受英軍欺壓而起身反抗的兄弟，兩人都抱持著愛爾蘭獨立的理想，使用再激烈的手段也在所不惜，但整個組織在講究忠誠的理念下，不論舊日的情誼再濃厚，只要有任何破壞組織行動的同胞，都必須依規定處死。
終於在一連串的交戰和犧牲後，英軍答應和共和軍進行協議，但讓愛爾蘭成立軍隊自治的決定和原本追求的獨立的理想相差甚遠，成為愛爾蘭自治軍首領的泰迪和繼續抱持理想的戴米恩，就此反目成仇。
英軍對愛爾蘭人民的欺壓的確令人難以忍受，但在獲得政權後的共和軍，卻步入和英軍一般的行為模式，不但企圖控制自治法庭的裁判，處處打壓人民的行為比英軍更令人不齒。
當初戴米恩為了理想放棄繼續學業，目睹這種現象更無法接受，尤其還是自己的親生哥哥，一場爭取自由的制度之戰也演變成了手足之間的鬥爭，人類還是無法抗拒被腐敗同化，親情也可悲地被可笑的規章抹殺了。
洛區富張力的說故事手法，終於在坎城影展上獲得肯定(評審團主席還是王家衛)，本片是否比前作「以祖國之名」或「麵包與玫瑰」等片更好只能見仁見智，可以確定的是，洛區被歲月磨練而成的純熟風範，濃厚地飄揚在本片中。
評分：10/10

The Wind That Shakes the Barley (Ken Loach, 2006)
Irish has been a place full of continuous disputes since a long time ago. Irish people much desired for independent from the control of British Empire government. Except the unstoppable hatred came from the tyrannizing of the British army, Irish people’s own fierce character was also a major reason. Ken Loach and his old partner screen writer Paul Laverty, who always concentrate on the race and class issues of England, present a family tragedy wrapped in an early history of Irish Republic Army.
Damien and Teddy was a pair of brothers who couldn’t put up with the tyrannizing of the British army and got up against them. Both hold the ideal of the independence of Irish and did what ever it takes. But under the concept of loyalty comes first, as long as there was any brother who ruins the action of the organization must be put to death, no matter how deep their fellowship was.
Finally after a series of engagements and sacrifices, British army accepted to deal with the Republicans. But the decision of building a autonomic army was far different from the ideal of independence, Teddy, who became the leader of the army, and Damien, who kept holding on his ideal, turned against each other ever since.
The tyrannizing of the British army was indeed unbearable, but the Republicans, who got the power and walked into the same behavior pattern as British army, not only trying to control the trail of the autonomic court but also pressed the people. Their behavior was even more despicable.
Damien gave up continuing his studies for the ideal at the beginning, so he definitely couldn’t tolerate seeing this, especially his own blood brother. A systematic battle for freedom became a fight of brotherhood. Humans still can’t resist being assimilated by corruption, and the love for family was pathetically eliminated by the ridiculous regulation.
Loach’s tensile storytelling finally got recognized at Cannes Film Festival. (the chairman of the jury was even Wong Kar Wai) Whether this is better than his previous “Land and Freedom” or “Bread and Roses” etc. depends on individual tastes. Which can be confirmed is his practiced skill steeled by the age densely float in this film.
Score: 10/10
