In+The+Name+Of+The+Father

MARTE ELISE TASK 1: Well, their cloths are pretty loose and they act like hippies. Their language is a bit revolting. The youngsters were showing their independence by demonstrating and making conflicts. They were a bit anarchistic and did not want to follow the law since the law did not respect them. That was the main resemblance I find to what I know about the 70’s.

TASK 2: The police and the court system in Britain are kind of special, and well, almost a bit weird I think. The jury has to wear those white, curly wigs, or whatever they call it, which makes them look very ridiculous. They did not follow all the rules, as I know from the Norwegian court system. Well, I’m no jurist or lawyer or anything, but I know that it have to be some kind of proofs or evidence or anything to find the suspected guilty in the charges against him/her. In this case, there were no evidence and no witnesses. How could they then find someone guilty in murder? That was all so wrong. Now I really know why people demonstrated against such.

TASK 3: People can reach a stage of physiological unstableness after being manipulated, hit several times, after being screamed to, jelled at or being commanded to say something you really don’t mean. When someone else control your consciousness and demand you to do what they say, your mind becomes so crazy and confused, that it’s hard to be calm. All the feelings just flout over and it becomes a mess of all kinds of feelings all over the place. You can get unlimited powers, some people break out of the chains that holds them and they can become a danger to themselves and people around them. TASKS ON THE FILMEFFECTS

TASK 1: Well, the filmmakers use music as a foundation in the production. The excitement starts when the music gets more tensed and dramatic. They also use colours as an important force and piece of the whole thing. Bright and colourful outfits or surroundings, makes a good feeling. And the opposite makes a sad, scary, you know, more tensed feeling or sense.

TASK 2: When all the prisoners gathered together to demonstrate and demand the innocent convicts their freedom, I felt the solidarity, the hope and the love they was trying to keep so dearly. It’s actually very impressive that Garry (and his father) kept the composure all trough the stay in prison. You have to keep a cool head and focus on the positive and ignore the negative that comes so often in the way.

TASK 3: The film effect that affects our emotions is mainly the music. Music is basically the effect that triggers the most of our emotions at any time.

TASKs on the opening of the film

TASK 1: The bombing affected the lives of the citizens in a way that can be described as nerve-racking and fundamental. People were scared out of their mind. They had no one to turn to either, because there was no parliament which could assure them their safety. I can’t really put myself in the situation, I don’t know what it is like at all to feel threatened and scared constantly.

TASK 2: Bombing without warning is very evil, cruel and disrespectful. If they had got a warning, they would have moved out of the building and no one would have been killed. But in a way, I get them, I would have been very angry with the government and the people in charge if I was there at that time.

TASK 3: Well, I guess it’s obvious that violence don’t solve any problems, in fact, violence makes a lot of conflicts itself. Violence is an insecure way of reacting with another human being.

TASKS ON THE ENTIRE FILM:

TASK 1: Secrets, lies, army, corruption, innocent prisoners/victims, fear, manipulation, violence, murder, bombs, court, weird legal system, hiding the truth

TASK 2: Yes, IRA was known for those kind of bombings where no one knew it coming. That’s why the British were so against the Irish.
