In the history of cinema, films are taken as the tools to entertain people and in crucial periods, they try to distract people from pain. So many genres were invented for different purposes: comedy films to make people laugh, horror films to scare, musicals to make them feel good and so on. But some genres, besides the entertaining fact of cinema, try to make people think and even they go further, try to change the society. In political genre, propaganda films do not have any artistic values and they were made for the will of those in power. But independent political films have different aims such as informing audience or at least make them think with multilayer concepts in them. One of the best examples is The Wind That Shakes the Barley by Ken Loach which focuses on the conflict of Ireland and England in 1920 from the socialistic point of view and it challenges political concepts such as conflict theory in various ways. For this study, two methods are used: Case Study which shows that the object of study is a case, not the method of investigation, and Film Analysis, to understand deeper layers of the film and take out the main idea behind it. to prove that The Wind That Shakes the Barley is a good example of political genre, Conflict Theory became the guideline of this study. After gathering some brief information about cinema, genre and Anglo-Ireland conflict, the finding of the study shows that this film, analyzed by film analysis, proved conflicts in different levels between Ireland and England, which was obvious in the history.
