"You must not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"

In the name of father, it is not only a kind of nostalgia for one's own father, but also a war of righteousness and sin through the Father's righteousness. Evil is invincible, and only the good will receive final justice.

I remember that in the prison, Gerry's father was determined not to be in the company of the people who planned and carried out the bombing. Even if he might bring them out of the prison, this was God's trial, and God was testing their faith in God. If he is righteous, then evil will eventually perish. When lawyer Pierce talked to Gerry for the first time, he mentioned his father. She said that he was most sad because you are lack in faith. Near the end, his father was seriously ill and was sentenced to death, but he gave Gerry more confidence to fight for justice, in the name of his father and the heavenly father, he can't live a hard life, but insists on vindicating the wronged and regaining his own righteousness.

Many parts of the movie remind me of the Word of God. God said, "Rejoice in hope; be patient in tribulation, and persevere in prayer." Prison was a baptism for Gerry, and let him realize what responsibility is and what faith is. Although this cost is high, In return is respect, support and strength.

I saw that in the time of torture, coercion, and the death of my father, faith can be destroyed to the point where there is little left, but the power from God is indelible. God said, "Bless those who persecute you; only bless, but not curse... Don't repay evil for evil... Don't avenge yourself, but rather give in and let the wrath of the Lord." It can also be done in the ugliest and despicable part of human nature. See the light of God's mercy.

    The title of the film is in the name of his father. In prison, Gary regained his confidence in life because of his father. After being pardoned by the queen, the film stopped abruptly, and there was no scene of justice for his father. There is also no pure idealism like "Twelve Angry Men", so I don't think the point of this film is very clear. Leftist comment in one sentence: This is the West you worship! The rightists want to change the title of the film: Fighting! in the name of freedom

    After reading the Knowledge article about "Belfast", I learned about this film based on a true story. The reality is sometimes terrifying and not so real, and the real guns, bumps and displacements are sometimes painful, like a fantasy nightmare.

In the Name of the Father quotes

  • Giuseppe Conlon: I want you have some respect.

    Gerry Conlon: Respect for who?

    Giuseppe Conlon: For yourself.

  • [Speaking to people outside the court]

    Gerry Conlon: I'm an innocent man. I spent 15 years in prison for something I didn't do. I watched my father die in a British prison for something he didn't do. And this government still says he's guilty. I want to tell them that until my father is proved innocent, until all the people involved in this case are proved innocent, until the guilty ones are brought to justice, I will fight on. In the name of my father and of the truth!
