in the name of the father

Unjust, false and wrongful convictions bring despair and destruction to mankind. An imperfect system is undoubtedly the grave of human beings. I always thought that "In the Name of the Father" was a family ethics drama, about the "love-hate relationship" between a strict father and a bastard son. But it's actually talking about justice. Why not in the name of justice? Because some people destroy human rights in the name of justice. The father spent his life sticking to the law and faith, and the son finally fought in the name of the father and the truth. In the end, innocent people were released, not because of acquittal, but because of amnesty. Law is open, not only because it concerns all walks of life, but also because it points to the future. There is no eternal right, so we must leave an outlet for the mistakes that may be made today, so that we can have a chance to correct them. Then, procedural justice must be a hurdle to guard.
