"The last rose in summer is still blooming alone, and all her lovely companions have withered and died."

"There is no more flower by her side."

"Reflecting on her screechy and beautiful face."

"Sigh and sad with her."

The song is called "The Last Rose of Summer", and is a very famous Irish folk song, which can be called the Irish version of "Jasmine".

Just like when talking about Cyris music, many people immediately remember the melody of "What a beautiful jasmine flower". This should be the most widely circulated Irish lyric song in the world.

Its original song was called "The Dream of Young Man". Thomas Moore, a famous poet in Ireland in the 19th century, became interested in it, so he filled in the lyrics for it again and changed the name to "The Last Rose of Summer".

Miss Esol Moman is worthy of being the "greatest actress on Broadway in the 20th century", and she interprets this song that is already a bit "SAD" even more "depressed".

With the sad and ethereal singing and the sad and lingering music, the curtain gradually lit up...

It is also the famous DreamWorks opening, and the cast and crew list is followed by the title - "Famine Ophans"

The title fades away and the movie officially begins.

At sea level, the sun exposed a golden edge, and the light finally evacuated the darkness and illuminated a colorful (black and white) flowered window glass.

On the glass, Mary, who was holding the Son in her arms, looked at the altar below with compassion. In front of the altar was an elderly priest who was praying. He was so thin that he was almost only a handful of bones that he saw the sunlight coming in outside the window, so he made a cross on his chest and stood up with difficulty holding a crutch.

He staggered towards the bell tower, climbed up, and used all his strength to pull the rope with a big bell hanging, and the bell rang out (shaking) afterwards...

The panting priest leaned against the railing of the bell tower and looked down at the dilapidated village awakened by the bell.

As his eyes were taken, the camera entered the window of a farmhouse. Three skinny girls opened their already big but dead eyes, snuggled together like three broken dolls, looking all starving to death...

Needless to ask, these are the three heroines.

Lilian Gish, born in 1893, plays the eldest sister, her own sister, Dorothy Gish, born in 1898, plays the second sister, and Eva Huntel (Chandler), born in 1901, plays the younger sister. (Note 1)

Of course they play roles that are much younger than their real age.

As we all know, white women have developed earlier. And according to the script, they are so hungry that they are not even more obvious in women's secondary sexual characteristics. In addition, the effects of makeup and clothing, so it is not inconsistent to play teenage girls at all.

Lilian Gish, who is now twenty-eight years old, looks ten years younger on the screen, like an eighteen-nine-year-old girl.

Don't forget that she is a master of pretending to be young. The heroine in "The Fallen Flowers" played in 1919 is also a girl of this age.

After hearing the bell, the three sisters finally recovered a little bit of anger.

The eldest sister played by "Ms. Lovers" moved first. She hugged the two sisters and encouraged them to get up from the dirty straw together with a smile and a look.

They helped each other to sort out their ragged black mourning clothes, and then went to the backyard, where there was a tomb with two simple crosses.

This shows that their parents have passed away and they have become "Famine Ophans".

And these two crosses are engraved with the names of Mr. O’Fearghail and his wife and the year they died - 1848.

This clearly shows the background of the film's era, the Great Famine in Ireland.

Here we need to explain that O’Fearghail in O’Fearghail means that it comes from the father’s surname, which means “son of a certain person”. The English variant of this surname is Farrell.

And Farrell translates into Chinese, it is...Farrell.

Our Master Yuan can also pay tribute to "Nowhere to Build the Mainland".

Therefore, these three sisters are the daughters of the Farrell family.

They mourned silently in front of the grave for a while, turned around and entered the room, put all their belongings - a dirty quilt and a few wooden bowls into a small car that was about to fall apart, and then pushed the car out of the farmhouse with difficulty and merged into the crowds who fled outside the door.

Here we will also explain that before the Great Famine, due to the vigorous exploitation of the British, Ireland's economic difficulties were almost bartered. So they had no property at all.

Together they walked towards the small square in front of the church.

At this time, the priest also walked out of the church, and there was a worn-out bag hanging on his hunched body (a pocket with an opening in the middle and something at both ends).

He took out small potatoes from the bag and distributed them to the abortion children.

The three girls in black walked up to him, with a look of extreme expectation on their faces. The old priest showed a kind smile, took out a small potato from the crotch and handed it over.

The three sisters Farrell all looked surprised and grateful. The three of them carefully ate the little pitiful potato in one bite.

The bright morning light shone on the old priest, just like the loving holy father, making people unable to help but feel hope. Perhaps under the leadership of this loyal and kind-hearted priest, these hungry people will find a way out?

Probably!

At this moment, a dark cloud floated from the sky, and the light suddenly dimmed. When everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky, the old priest fell to the ground without warning.

A villager who looked more decent came up, touched the priest's pulse, and shook his head at everyone around him.

A village woman silently picked up a blanket and walked up to cover the priest's body.

Everyone took off their hats and lowered their heads together, expressing their condolences to the respectable priest.

The three sisters showed a look of astonishment, sadness and self-blame on their faces.

At this time, not only was the sun covered by dark clouds, but there was also heavy fog around the village. The entire atmosphere of the film suddenly seemed to be in awe of ghosts, with a bit of a horror movie.

After mourning for a short while, everyone walked out of the village like a walking corpse.

From here on, it is the long shot that later generations praised as "the movie version of "Gernica""...

"The status of "The Lonely of Famine" in the history of film is unquestionable. For workers like us, director David Griffith is the application of various lens languages, which is still worth learning and exploring until today in the 21st century..."

"This shot starts with the three protagonists as the perspective of the protagonists, following them forward to show how they see the tragic situation on the way to escape..."

"The old man who died on the roadside like the priest at the beginning..."

"The little boy who was sitting next to the overturned car couldn't cry and was waiting for death..."

"The crazy mother who coaxed the dead baby to breastfeed..."

"The man who smoked cigarettes without saying a word next to his wife and children and then jumped into the river to commit suicide..."

"The scenes in the fog form a desolate and weird picture, just like Picasso's famous painting "Guernica" that shows the tragic bombing, which makes people feel breathless. It is said that when it was released in Dublin for the first time, the audience was frightened, and the venue of thousands of people was silent..."

"With the three sisters of Farrell, the camera came to a mass grave where countless crows were pecking at the human corpse. From here, the first long shot ended, and the second long shot immediately began. This time the perspective turned to one of the crows."

"The crows rising from the air looked down at the crowd below, allowing the audience to see that this escape route was paved with corpses..."

"This should be the first aerial shot in the history of film, and this surreal film language brought great shock to the audience at that time..."

——Excerpt from "The Ten Movies You Can't Miss" Appreciation of "The Lonely Girl in the Famine"

Shocking, only this word can describe the audience who have never seen this movie.

Even the two princes around us, Master Yuan, were stunned, let alone those Irish "country buns".

The crow flew and flew over a phantom of a map. So it "flyed" from near Dublin, Ireland to central London, England.

Finally, the crow fell next to a rice-shaped flag. This is naturally an obvious metaphor, comparing the British to a scavenger that feeds on the bones of Irish people.

As soon as the camera pulls, this is a landmark building that everyone knows, that is, Westminster Palace by the Thames, and the Parliament Building with Big Ben.

Through the crow's eyes, the audience could see a grand meeting being held.

This magnificent scene and the magnificent gentlemen and gentlemen who were full of hearts formed an extremely, extremely, and extremely sharp contrast with the scene just now.

There was a sudden noise in the Kroger Park Stadium.

But this is not over yet, these hypocritical MPs and gentlemen came to the stage to give passionate speeches.

One said that potato epidemics are nothing scary. Just cancel all imported food import tariffs from the UK and Ireland to reduce the price of bread on the market. Anyone... Anyway, no matter how poor people on the British Isle can afford other staple foods besides potatoes.

One said that we British people should stick to Adam Smith's dogma, alleviate the Irish famine through self-rescue, and try to interfere with the operation of the free market as little as possible.

One said that the kind and generous Queen Victoria had donated a full thousand pounds.

One said that Ireland's Catholics are lazy, morally corrupt, and famine are God expressing their dissatisfaction with the Irish people...

"asshole!"

"fart!"

"I'm so angry!"

"Let them all die!"

The noise became even louder, and after a while, the noise became a rhythmic shout:

"Kill the British!"

"Kill the British!!"

"Kill the British!!!"

Our Master Yuan looked back when he heard the sound and said in his heart that the ancients really didn't bully me.

Looking at these indignant Irish people, you will know that the Cyris revolutionary warriors shot the actor who played Huang Shiren at that time.

Hey, why do these Irish people look in their own direction?

He also followed everyone's eyes and saw a "Huang Shiren"...
