The story of Northern Ireland has been shown again and again by British and Irish directors. "In the Name of the Father" should not be regarded as a trial film, but a film that expresses the delicate emotions of father and son. The rebellious son, the paranoid father, despite their apparent tit-for-tat, they are actually so concerned about each other. Fathers always only pay attention to the wrong things their sons do, but this is the way fathers care about their sons - every time the son gets into trouble, the father will come forward and clean up the mess. His father was implicated and imprisoned, but he did not stop his efforts to rehabilitate him.
However, sons and fathers are very different in their values and approach to life. The father attends Mass, the son drinks powder; the father does not cause trouble, the son dares to fight violently; the father is full of hope, and the son is cynical. However, slowly, the son discovered that the so-called violent struggle was actually blind, and the father was not timid, but used another way to fight this misjudged judicial system more deeply. At first, the son complained about his father's sickness and the inconvenience his father brought him in his childhood. However, while he was complaining, what he harbored was just a resentful attitude, hiding the closeness of blood. In the end, when the father became increasingly haggard, the son finally gave up his rebellious behavior and resisted the oppression of power in the father's way.
This film brings people together with the whole society at that time. It is very appropriate to express people's hearts in despair. In despair, Jerry is even more depraved, completely joining the radical real bomber, acting recklessly, completely ignoring his father's good words, and finally in the face of human life. Back, Jerry, who is hippie in nature but not bad, may not care about the whole world, but care about individual lives. So he finally returned under the inspiration of his father.
The image of the father in it is a spiritual fulcrum of the whole film. This father may not understand the child, may never encourage the child, and perhaps the way his love is expressed is far from the tenderness that the child expects. But his love was firm and selfless.
Once he knew that the child was innocent, he began his form of fighting. Although he is weak on the outside, he is firm on the inside, and he has never given up hope, and has always endured the child's incomprehension. Pray every night while keeping your own conduct.
You can be very powerful, turn the tide, and be indifferent to humiliation; at the same time, you are also very small, unable to contend with high-hanging laws, powerless to fight against the majestic government, powerless to dissuade angry people, powerless to defend yourself, unable to support your parents, and even to watch As his father's condition deteriorated, he quietly lost his breath in the bottom bunk of the cell, and was unable to gently close his eyes for his dead father.... I was moved by a strong soul. At that moment, God closed his eyes and let us see the truth...
In the end, the son walked out the front door and, in his own way, regained his dignity. Late judgment, late vindication, but finally vindication.
Maybe the years have filled our clean hearts with gullies, maybe there are too many injustices in the world that we turn a blind eye to, too much dignity and conscience have been trampled on, and what cannot be erased is still the purest desire in life! Let love be more, let A little less cruel and cruel!
