Probably the same group of performers was used for the two trials.
The narrative of the film is very rough, Gerry's futile emotional catharsis runs through, and some branches seem a bit lengthy.
Perhaps in order to stay true to the truth, and the plot itself is full and extreme enough, there is almost no doubt that the end of the fire can give the audience a strong emotional feedback.
After the climax came to an abrupt end, I didn't pay much attention to the ending of the characters in the subtitles, but I remembered these scenes:
1. When...

The courage of the female lawyer is admirable, the inner world of the male protagonist is moving, and the traditional and deep love of the father makes people cry.
When individual rights and power conflict, in the whirlpool of struggle, how can individuals protect themselves?
Looking back at ourselves, how can we defend our rights in the face of injustice?
How do you understand and make decisions about your different ideas from your parents?
In contrast to society, is...

very short.
I don't know if it was the right decision to watch In the name of the father at night. I cried from the middle of the story to the end. The relationship between father and son is actually very delicate. The son always fights against his father’s status when he is young, and engages in a tug-of-war with his father’s role. Then, as time goes by, this confrontation gradually becomes understanding, until the father starts to show weakness when he grows old, and the son Take over...

The homework of the class with the case ~ the movie is very touching. As a non-law student, I am not a firm believer in the law, and I am also very confused between the law and the regime. Constitutional state or strong government? Faith in Law or Political Faith? At least the latter proved to be unreliable. As someone who still has some traditional ideas, it is difficult to take a firm stand.

There are original and reprinted
"In the Name of the Father" 1993, In The Name of The Father. Because of Zhu Ling's case, I am even more impressed, as much as "Rwanda Hotel" shocked me. Natural disasters may be unstoppable, but man-made disasters! ~
Background: Caused by a bombing in Guildford, England Oct. 5, 1974. Starting from the protagonist's hometown of Northern Ireland, in the early 1970s, the North City was in chaos (BRITS OUT - the British got out), the streets were full...

The story is good, I think it could have been better. Written in 2009. I watched this film again today, and exclaimed, God, when did I watch this film, what,...

True Events Jim Sheridan takes Lewis' tense performance to the extreme! How many people in this world have been framed by the government and have been wronged, too many. This film truly reproduces the democratic contradiction between Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom, the confrontation between weak individuals and the great justice! The love of father and son is...

Adapted from a real case, a dark scene in British judicial history. I don't disagree with a bunch of people who say "compared to China, this is just a pediatrician", but in the same situation here, at best, insensitive people will be selected to appear on the CCTV judicial program, and it has not been possible to put them on the big screen. The young Daniel Day-Lewis is already very good, and the director is still...

What is this in the heaven, what is this! Just forced a confession, fabricated evidence, and beat you up. Ha, the prostitutes of the Celestial Dynasty are very calm. Daniel Day-Lewis is so...

This story fully shows that it is still very difficult to fight between the people and the officials. A very good story, it can also be said to be one of the models of grievance movies, but the movie adapted from real events is not as shocking as expected. It should be said that the filming did not produce the desired effect. This kind of film of later generations has set an example. Daniel Dai. Lewis's acting is really...
Gerry Conlon: I'll be older than you when I get out of this place. If I get out. Are you listening to me?
Giuseppe Conlon: I'm not talking to you.
Gerry Conlon: Now who's being childish?
Giuseppe Conlon: I've not heard a sensible word out of you in two weeks. That stuff will kill you.
[talking about drugs]
Gerry Conlon: Sure I'm dead anyway. Look I'm sorry. I'll not take it again as long as you live. Are you happy now?
Giuseppe Conlon: No.
Gerry Conlon: Why not?
Giuseppe Conlon: I don't want you to take it whether I live or die.
Gerry Conlon: Oh, give me strength. Ok, I'll do nothing to annoy you in your grave. Now are you happy?
Giuseppe Conlon: Is that a promise?
Gerry Conlon: Ay, maybe.
Gareth Peirce: It's not the stairs that are killing your father.
Gerry Conlon: Aye, what is it then?
Gareth Peirce: It's your lack of faith.
Gerry Conlon: Lack of faith? Faith in what?
Gareth Peirce: In yourself.
Gerry Conlon: No. I have faith in myself. Gerry Conlon. Lifer. 30-year sentence. And I know how to survive it, no problem.
Gareth Peirce: At what price?
Gerry Conlon: I'll pay the fuckin' price, don't you worry about it.
Gareth Peirce: The price for what?
Gerry Conlon: Aye. You're very good at the English, aren't you? You see, I don't understand your language. "Justice." "Mercy." "Clemency." I literally don't understand what those words mean. I'd like to put in an application to get all my teeth extracted. That way I could put my fist in my mouth and never speak another word of fuckin' English so long as I live. Do you see what I'm saying... Mrs. Peirce is it?
Gareth Peirce: Are you trying to impress me?
Gerry Conlon: Was I always bad, was I?
Giuseppe Conlon: Not always.
Gerry Conlon: I don't deserve to spend the rest of my life in here do I?
Giuseppe Conlon: All they done was block out the light.
[points to his head]
Giuseppe Conlon: They can't block out the light in here.
