Between reality and reality

What shocked me more than the movie was a photo. A real photo of the original protagonist of the movie. I couldn't stand those eyes and couldn't look straight. It shook me so badly that the dark terror was thrown behind me in an instant. The back is tense, the heart shrinks, and the eyes don't know where to look...

When you see the cold and ruthless subtitles at the end of the film:
"The Republican Army who admitted to the explosion of the Blessing Bar has never sued the reformer. Charges, still in prison.

On May 19, 1993, three former police detectives charged with obstruction of justice were acquitted.

No police officers were convicted in this case."

You also agree that is the ultimate naked truth So he could face it face-to-face—the earth-shattering grievances, the overwhelming hatred, and the huge state machinery, but the end was in ashes. There is no absolute justice, no complete light.

Anyway, Gary won half the battle. Clear grievances, regain freedom, and have a bright future for the rest of your life. The exhilarating spirit of rushing out of the courtroom with his head held high after his acquittal, his passionate speech to the media, his firm eyes and strong will, showed us where there is hope and light. Even if this hope and light never existed in the government, even if it only pointed to Gary's personal life, even if it didn't shake a shred of power. But it leads us to believe that Gary will have a happy personal life for the rest of his life - at least he's grown as a man, healthy and free.

However, we were deceived. been deceived. been deceived.

The real reality is the real Gary in the photo: eyes flickering and dodging, deep in fear and grievance. Even though he was holding a verdict of innocence in his hand, he was still timid and fearful, with his shoulders slumped and his back bent. He doesn't have the high-spirited energy of the movie.

Because of his brain and mental damage, he is unable to get along with normal people. a poor man. How cruel.

Where can I find the happy life shown in the so-called movies!

How far is the distance between art and reality?

When I am immersed in the spirit and self-righteously think that I am understanding the world and seeing the reality, there are many real realities but they are never like that!

Live, invest in life, live for real. Do not give false hope. In the loss of fantasy and light, in the loss of hope, in the dark situation where there is no possibility of redemption, there is still a strong strength to live and not return to nothingness. To be Sisyphus!

    I cried. A man's youth, his reputation, his liberty, his everything has been taken away by the government just because he is Irish, an innocent scapegoat. Finally see the light again, but how to make up for the torment of those dark days? It is unimaginable that there are so many unjust, false and wrongful convictions in China, the judiciary is unimaginably dark, and no one is fighting for it in China. There are even numb Chinese people who say that this film makes a big deal out of it

    The historical significance is greater than the artistic value. DDL's acting skills are not outstanding in this film, but Emma is really good.

    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.

  • Gerry Conlon: What I remember most about my childhood is holding your hand. My wee hand in your big hand, and the smell of tobacco. I remember, I could smell the tobacco in the palm of your hand. When I want to feel happy, I try to remember the smell of tobacco.

    Giuseppe Conlon: Hold my hand.
