in the name of the movie

Chaotic world
bordering on absurd laws "7 days in jail for no reason"
dead-faced police detectives

spacious and bright prisons
cozy little cells
loving fathers
stubborn sons

"I don't know how happy they were when they threatened to shoot you! I can finally get rid of You!"
I was crying when I said this,
because of their threats, I was beaten into a trick.
Why did you
end up in prison because of me ? ?

"My son didn't break the law, why arrest him??!"
"I will always be by your side"
Even if death is already staring at me,
I will still hope that you will see the sun again
"You never conceived him, but I did"
We should all believe you
even if I leave, you have to live with hope
"even if I die, you do not touch that stuff."
"a Promise Is is that?"

    I happened to be watching this movie when I learned that Ai was released on bail awaiting trial. Gary was wronged and imprisoned for fifteen years. After regaining his freedom, he said: I am an innocent man. I was imprisoned for fifteen years for an unexplainable crime. I watched my father die in a British prison. The government still said he was guilty. I want to tell them that unless my father is rehabilitated, all those who have been wronged are rehabilitated, and those who are guilty are punished, otherwise I will fight to the end, in the name of the father and in the name of the truth.

In the Name of the Father quotes

  • Gerry Conlon: Was I always bad, was I?

    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.

    [points to his head]

    Giuseppe Conlon: They can't block out the light in here.

  • 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.
