60 of 116 · most liked firstTonight’s movie: In the Name of the Father (1993). And now I am going to look up the Wikipedia entry because, though it shouldn’t surprise me, the pre-credits note that no UK police or detectives ever faced justice is so enraging.
unlabelledView post →I watched In the Name of the Father for the first time on the flight back from Belfast, and it was a great, deeply affecting movie, but also I just don’t think we give Daniel Day-Lewis enough credit for how insanely hot he was in the late 80s and early 90s
unlabelledView post →In my film studies A-level class (I only did the most useful A-levels) we had to watch In the Name of the Father and it turned the entire class FURIOUS, we were raging at injustice in every subsequent lesson on the movie. I think In the Name of the Father radicalised me by being so good.

unlabelledView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER boxd.it/e2lF1V Perfect storm of injustice within British legal system. When politicians, police, prosecutors, & judges align, truth ceases to matter. Fuck that! Unrelenting frantic live-wire energy, picks up emotional weight in quiet moments. #filmsky 📽

unlabelledView post →Movie night, (In the Name of the Father) with Potatoes, Cumberland Sausage, Gravy and Egg. This is a house favourite. Any pork sausages will do, and the potatoes were made much like roasties but sliced then cooked in a roasting tray with duck fat and a couple of garlic cloves.

unlabelledView post →In the Name of the Father (1993), directed by Jim Sheridan.

unlabelledView post →Thank Bush for that. It started with the 911 "attack" that let them put in the patriot act. They can hold you without a phone call or a lawyer as they want. Look up the movie In the Name of the Father. The same style law was used to falsely imprison 4 young people in England after an IRA bombing.
unlabelledView post →Sigh. They weren't even watching the right MOVIES, FFS. Daniel Day-Lewis and Pete Posthlethwait's great movie In the Name of the Father might have taught them something.
unlabelledView post →In The Name Of The Father, is an amazing film. To anyone that's never seen it, you're in for a treat.
unlabelledView post →All in order to protect a state committing war crimes, ethnic cleansing & genocide. These young people were attempting to stop a death. I seem to remember a movie, In The Name of The Father, when England charged innocent young people w/terrorism, tortured them & forced confessions. Shame

unlabelledView post →✨ Giuseppe Conlon, died on January 23, 1980, 5 years into a 23 year sentence handed down to him for a crime that he had nothing to do with. The movie starring Daniel Day Lewis, "In the Name of the Father", captures this severe case of British injustice. ✨

unlabelledView post →Wow! I thought both were great. In the Name of the Father, does not feel like a tv movie at all. I've never seen performances like Day Lewis and Pete Postlethwaite on television.

unlabelledView post →Film recommendation (reposting w/ better quality video): "In the Name of the Father." It's the story of Gerry Conlon (R.I.P.), who was imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. Here's Sinead (R.I.P.). One of my favorite songs/videos & films. m.youtube.com/watch?v=zON0...

Oh, and Juntao!!! youtu.be/04ZYTB2ZXVc?...
unlabelledView post →I just watched In The Name Of The Father (1993). I'm very familiar with the case as it was something I studied during my degree, but DDL is phenomenal and the story is as relevant today as ever and should make you incredibly angry.
unlabelledView post →It might be a bit British for your liking, but I highly recommend In The Name of the Father. It’s a classic film that falls under number one on your genre list.
