Im Namen des Vaters
'Im Namen des Vaters' erzählt die wahre Geschichte von Gerry Conlon. Gerry schlägt sich im vom Bürgerkrieg gebeutelten Belfast der siebziger Jahre als Kleinkrimmineller durch, sein Hauptinteresse gilt Alkohol und wilden Partys - sehr zum Missfallen seines stillen, kränklichen Vaters Giuseppe Als Gerry Probleme mit der IRA bekommt, schickt ihn sein Vater nach England, wo er sich eines Tages dank seiner Eskapaden zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort aufhält. Obwohl er unschuldig ist, wird er von der Polizei dazu gezwungen, einen brutalen Bombenanschlag zu gestehen. Als einer der 'Guildford-Vier' wird Gerry - zusammen mit seinem ebenfalls unschuldig verurteilten Vater - zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilt.

**A low-key, much-forgotten but well-executed film.** This movie is totally forgotten these days. Well, actually, if you're not native or very close to Ireland, I think the very existence and action of the IRA seems like something that ended many years ago, and it doesn't. It was a recent thing, and it still has marks on people and society. The film focuses, in particular, on the case of the “G…
**Oscar for Best Duo Daniel Day-Lewis and Pete Postlethwaite**strong text**** The movie tries to convey the horrors of injustice, investigation, and rulings under the pretext of emergency laws and terrorism, but the details of these laws make us laugh by today's standards, even not when the film was shown in 1993.
