"However, the film is not a true story as widely believed, merely based in part on actual events." The film is autobiographical; not all events depicted really happened, but the underlying story (pub bombings, Guildford 4 trial, imprisonment, release after appeal) is all true.

Fair use rationale for Image:In the name of the father ver2.jpg

[edit]

Image:In the name of the father ver2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Dubliners

[edit]
  • To me the London setting reminds me of some corners in Dublin. Which scences are filmed in London?

For example the whore#s robbery is in ------ street and the hippies house either. Do you think it#s a good idea to change places for tension on this page? Foreshadowing means something else!--Danaide (talk) 08:33, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gareth

[edit]

Gareth Peirce is a solicitor as is apparent from the wiki entry for that person.

It is also reasonably apparent from the film that she is a solicitor and indeed from the plot summary in this article: she does factual research of a kind not ordinarily carried out by barristers.

She also does some advocacy in the Court of Appeal in the film; I don't know whether she in fact did in real life. The wiki article on Ms Peirce states that it is a composite character.

From memory Emma Thompson has a wig in her car (thus indicating that she is indeed a barrister) - but doesn't wear it in Court! I like to think that there was then a big argument between (1) props, (2) wardrobe, (3) continuity, (4) Emma's agent (who presumably thought that the wig was either unattractive and/or annonymised the wearer, their client) and/or (5) legal advisers to the film at the preview, but I can find no third party source to confirm this.
