Day-Lewis Daniel Day-Lewis in [Lincoln Lincoln], he's really good, he's the kind of actor who puts his whole life into it. Going back 20 years, he has already had a good enough performance when he is young, and it is not surprising that [In the Name of the Father] ranks in the Top 5000 in IMDB. Pete Postlethwaite, who plays with him, is also a top actor. This one has an Italian name and looks like an Italian British thug who looks like Daniel Day Lewis. There is a slight similarity, if it is not because of the height, it will be suspected that they are the real father and son. Saffron Burrows, born in 1973, can be found at a glance among the actors who play soy sauce. Almost 20 years later, she can still be with Jason Burrows in [The Bank Job]. Statham Jason Statham in the role, but also a mess, there are really not many actresses like this.

Belfast's problems seem to have faded a little over the years, and the focus of the UK's own problems is the upcoming Scottish referendum. In such a small island country, there are so many different ethnic groups, if there is not a fairly reliable royal family, maybe the country has already fallen apart. When faced with major national and national problems, politicians' decisions often have greater significance than in times of peace. The tragedy of the Colon family is only because they are from Northern Ireland, and the 15-year silence of the police is only because they are for their own protection. The most developed and democratic country 20 years ago had a terrible past even in the face of its own citizens. When we look for our own path, the good thing is that we can find excuses for ourselves, and the sad thing is that we fail to use the lessons of the past to guide us. Gerry Conlon's mutation was caused by the death of his father. People often have to go to a dead end to have the most thorough awakening. People are like this, and so are countries.
