powerless

I wish it was just a movie, I know the evil of human nature can reach this level, but when it really showed me, I was still shocked. At the beginning, the protagonist and others suffered after being caught. They were tortured to extract confessions. They didn't believe that they would be punished for what they didn't do in court. They even played around until the final verdict was handed down... I saw real darkness in those police officers, and they couldn't even see through it. Light, in the protagonist, I see despair, powerlessness, and no hope. Justice finally came, but it came too late, his father couldn't see it, their family was nearly destroyed, fifteen precious years of his life were locked in prison, and the perpetrators of it all went unpunished . I know that this has happened more than once in different places and at different times, and I hope someday the sun will reach all the dark corners.

    Regardless of the fact that this is completely impossible in the celestial dynasty, this story comes from the truth, and the film tends to be more emotional, allowing us to face up to the term father's love. Gary was fortunate to have a bad life with the help of different people, but the Conlons were nothing but blatant victims of the political trap. The film is a low-key description of institutional corruption and political dark shadows, but the silent fatherly love of Gary's father is from beginning to end.

  • Gerry Conlon: That was a good day's work, McAndrew. A good day's work.

    Joe McAndrew: Get away from me.

    Gerry Conlon: You're not looking me in the eye when you're speaking to me. You see, I know how to look at people without blinking as well. In all my god-forsaken life I have never known what it was like to want to kill somebody until now. You're a brave man, Joe. A brave man.

  • Giuseppe Conlon: I want you have some respect.

    Gerry Conlon: Respect for who?
