Great work. And a wonderful film. I had to explain our culture and history in Italy when I was a teacher there. They all loved this movie ❤️
I understand exactly what he means about his father telling him he loved him and dying 2 weeks later. My dad was the same, he never once told me he loved me, then one night he said he wanted a word with me, and with tears in his eyes he said "I love you 'Chelle." I couldn't understand why he did it, I thought, 'he's pissed again!' but he wasn't and then a couple of weeks later he died. It's as if they know.
My father on his death bed couldn’t get to bring out them words.but at least I had the chance to have a cat who crept up to me and died in my arms
@@irishking1414 Sorry for your loss. It's strange that your cat came to you to pass away. Cats usually disappear into an abandoned shed or garage. They know when they're dying. He must have really loved you. I know how hard it is to lose a pet. I'm a pet bereavement counsellor.
Mr. Sheridan, if you read this, thank you, sir, for your excellent work as a director. I had not seen this film in years but it is as powerful as it was when I first saw it. I am an American but I very much remember this film. In fact, it is at the very top for films of the genre of law. I find that it appears to be reflecting what is happening to us now. Even if we prevail, which I doubt, we have lost. There is one shining hope. The young ones that are in their early to mid-20s. They come together and decide. That is COMPROMISE. And it appears to me that they tell the TRUTH. Those were the only two requirements that kept my country strong. But those on "The Hill" stole it and gave it to the "Gang" on Wall Street. They are nothing but 2-bit thieves.

that film was full of lies
Trump 2020 truth. They decided to make much softer the things that really happened
You are full of shit. The lie was the limmies aren't that nice.
@War Crimes There are more discrepancies and inconsistencies in this film than in the bogus statements conjured by the Surrey Police. A bad film. A great chance to name and shame those that stitched up ten innocent people and they bottled it with assumed names and a fictitious plot.
@@russellbishop1633 how would you know
@@fixit3108 I followed that case from 1988 after reading the book Time bomb by Ros Franey and grant McKee. Also, I read the two books by the Guildford four. Gerry Conlon's Proved innocent and Paul Hill's Stolen years. It's all there. In the name of the father was only a very loose base of the whole sordid saga.
