In the name of the father

In todays English class we saw a movie called "In The Name of The Father", made by Jim Sheridan in 1994. It's about a man from Belfast, called Gerry Conlon. He, and three of his friends are forced to take the blame for an IRA bombing in London. His father and aunt also gets blamed for this horrible insident, and after a while we get to see how he and his father fight for an apeal, while they're spending time in prison. Gerry spends 15 years in prison, and during that time his father dies. When Gerry at last becomes a free man, he said that he wouldn't stop fighting before the people who put him, his father and his friends, in jail, were arrested.

I think this was a movie with a great plot, that's for sure. The actors were very convincing playing their roles, and the story was great. I still think it was a bit long, and at times, boring, because it was times it didn't happen anything. But I guess it was important to build up beliviable characters. To sum it up I think it was a good movie !
