"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 of British soldiers in camouflage uniforms, they were very vigilant to the public, thinking that everyone could be a republic Army (get the chance to learn about this history) gunman.
Qiu Li Kanglong and several young people are habitual thieves, and have been warned 3 times by the Republican Army. This time, in the process of stealing steel, the British army thought they were holding a sniper rifle and fled, causing riots and riots (local residents slammed the iron cover on the wall to spread information?). When the old father heard the message from his little sister, he immediately quit his job as a casino clerk, and rushed over to ask for favor from the Republican leaders (the father's love is great, the ignorant young man is arrogant and unreasonable). For a long time, "I'm going to get you away".
So, Julie took a boat to London, and the family expected him to live with his aunt. As a result, he met an old classmate on the boat (the appearance of this person changed Julie's life), and after arriving in London, he went to the "hippie den" - —Time features, FREE & LOVE. On the day of the explosion, the two of them were kicked out of the hippie den—because some people couldn't understand the people from Northern Ireland, these two young men with vigor and vitality were equally violent, and they left as soon as they said it, even though there was not much left on them. When he was going to sleep on a chair in the park that night, he met CB Charlie Potter. He said that the chair was his, and the back of the chair was marked with a knife, and that Julie gave all the money on his body to this CB. Li is not a bad-hearted child, it's just that the times make people) - I didn't expect this person to be one of the most crucial evidences for rehabilitating in the future. When the explosion occurred, Julie's main concern was how to spend the night. After walking out of the park, I met a fashionable prostitute in a hurry and dropped a purse. Julie shouted a reminder and was scolded by the driver and walked away. The prostitute and the driver did not pay attention to his reminder. Julie picked up his wallet and found the key and entered the door, while his classmates stood at the door and refused to go in. Julie accidentally found 700 pounds in the prostitute, and brought it with his classmates. Qian hurriedly left - I didn't expect this to be one of the key factors in the initial trial that Qiu Li was the mastermind of the bombing case - I think of the evidence of the focus of Western countries written by lawyer Zhu Ling, which is very realistic. They stayed at the hotel that night, and the next day they bought the exact same clothes and shoes. Julie returned to Bay City with the money, and the classmates stayed in London.
Rich Jia returned home, and no one, including his family, thought that a tragedy was waiting for them.
Fifteen years later, everyone has been acquitted, but no policeman has been sentenced, and no official person has been held accountable.
At this point, the old father was dead in prison; the others had served their prison sentences—8 years, 12 years, 14 years, from youth to youth, middle age to old age, middle age to death.
It's official! They already had evidence that Julie was innocent. But it was written not to be seen by the defense attorney.
The problem with Zhu Ling’s case is the development process of China’s judicial construction. Sun Wei was a criminal under the previous presumption of guilt and torture rules, and Sun Wei was also a criminal under the Western presumption of innocence and the rules of evidence by heart. This is the current presumption of innocence in China. It is difficult to convict under the rules of evidence and empirical evidence, which allows her to exploit the institutional loopholes in the judiciary. Therefore, chasing thallium is to promote the process of judicial reform in China.
An interesting point, probably due to religious reasons, if Western countries think that their hometown is in bad condition or that it deserves it, they will say, "This land forsaken by God" - on Joseph Conron sending his son Julie Conlon On the way of the boat, the old father said something. And this sentence appears many times in "Hotel Rwanda".
Regarding the character CB in the park, I can only say that I can help people anytime, anywhere, and chat by the way (the word CB engraved on the back of the chair is evidence), maybe it can help you. However, thinking about what I saw and heard when I picked up people on Line 7 of the Shanghai South Railway Station Airport on April 29, I was more worried about the "chat" problem, especially in China. The old man said that when you are out, try not to "inquire".
It seems to be the consistent style of British movies. From "Check", which exposed the Nottingham Stadium tragedy, to "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves", which reflects the Irish independence recently, these directors seem to carry out the realism to the end, give the audience a sap at the end, and then End, absolutely. The refusal to abuse the pen to comfort the audience is a stark contrast to American cinema.
While seeing the darkness of British politics through movies, we should also see the independence and freedom of public opinion, and the pressure on the government from criticism of literary works cannot be ignored. After all, the prime minister was voted through elections. Such feedback is essential to the preservation of democratic freedoms.
