TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In preparation for his role, Daniel Day-Lewis lost thirty pounds and spent nights in the jail cell on the set as crew members threw water and verbal abuse at him.

Despite playing father and son, Pete Postlethwaite was only eleven years older than Daniel Day-Lewis.

In real life, Gerry and Giuseppe did not share a prison cell.

Daniel Day-Lewis kept his Northern Irish accent on and off the set for the entire shooting schedule.

Writer, producer, and director Jim Sheridan was heavily criticized for fictionalizing much of the story. For example, "The Guildford 4" and the Maguire family had separate trials. "Joe McAndrew" was based on Joe O'Connell, a man who confessed to the Guildford bombings, but Joe O'Connell was not sent to the same prison as the Conlons. Gerry and Giuseppe Conlon were in different prisons for most of their sentences. Although solicitor Gareth Peirce was instrumental in investigating and preparing Gerry Conlon's case for the High Court of Appeal, she could not present the case in court because, due to British legal system rules, this could only be done by a trial barrister. Michael Mansfield, a barrister and Q.C. (Queens Council) presented the case. Also, Peirce never represented or even met Giuseppe Conlon, who died in 1980, nine years before the appeal was heard.

Popular Dialogues

"[Speaking to people outside the court] Gerry Conlon: I'm an innocent man. I spent 15 years in prison for something I didn't do. I watched my father die in a British prison for something he didn't do. And this government still says he's guilty. I want to tell them that until my father is proved innocent, until all the people involved in this case are proved innocent, until the guilty ones are brought to justice, I will fight on. In the name of my father and of the truth!"

"[after his case is dismissed, and the guards try to escort him out] Gerry Conlon: I'm a free man, and I'm going out the front door."
