      All the behaviors of the young protagonist are not convincing in the film.

      Crime family, huh, except that when they kill people, they are similar to ordinary people. They don't quite understand what the director's intention is. All the behaviors of the young protagonist are not convincing in the movie, and some plot conflicts are not convincing. Why did the uncle inject drugs into his girlfriend? Guy Pierce is completely cameo in this play, why not show his acting skills? Why is the old lady like an old goblin nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress? The...

      "Animal Kingdom" is the most outstanding crime film in Australia and one of the most outstanding crime films in the world.

      The film tells the story of a seventeen-year-old boy growing up in a criminal family while a detective tries to save him.

      In Melbourne, Australia, there is a famous crime family - the Cody family. Three brothers, Darren (Luke Ford), Buzz (Joel Edgerton) and Craig (Sullivan Stapleton), and their uncle "The Godfather" (Ben Gates) Delson) hides in the local area. At the same time, the police gradually surrounded the family, and when the war was about to break out, the 17-year-old member...

      Do not perish in silence, but explode in silence! Suitable for complaining after watching a movie

      Do not perish in silence, but explode in silence! The last shot terrified my panties. Is this a literary crime? Boring and boring? Subjectively believe that this can definitely be called a thriller that tortures the fragile heart!
        The complexity of the relationship between the characters is better than that of the Chinese elementary school students' Olympiad in mathematics. The amiable and amiable grandmother actually made an amazing act of protecting her son and killing her grandson. I...

      A world of the jungle

      The young protagonist is like living in a world where the strong eat the weak. In the end, only through his own ferocity and strength can he protect himself and achieve his goal. Just like what the police said to the teenager in the film, "You think you are strong because someone is protecting you behind you, but they are getting old... (to the point)", and the teenager finally found out that the police are not a guarantee of safety. Or solve the threat through his own wisdom and ferocity....

      Beast jungle, where to hide

      In terms of image effects, there is no addition, just like shooting with a handheld camera, and no special close-up shots are added.

          The characters in the film, there are no special emotions, no dramatic performances, no long speeches. It's like you're sitting next to them and watching one thing happen after another.
         Maybe some people's hearts are originally evil, wild animals. They have no logic, no pity, they only focus on themselves, and they are still in the primary...

    Script adaptation

    The birth of "Animal Kingdom" did not actually come from the director himself, but he did have some interest in the underground community life in Melbourne for a long time . And a friend of his, Liz Watts, who is also a director and producer, saw the potential of this script from a script project describing similar lives. She read the original script, and then suggested that David Mitchold use it as a basis for deriving the story....

    Evaluation action

    The film uses such an innocent boy as an incision, focusing on the changing circumstances of a soprano family, showing the complexity and depth of human nature. With the evolution of civilization and the progress of society, humans, such advanced animals, have become more knowledgeable, tasteful, moral, and cultivated. However, it is sad that humans cannot escape the jungle law of the weak and the strong, and the survival of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Joshua 'J' Cody: Mum kept me away from her family because she was scared. I didn't realise it at the time, but they were all scared - even if they didn't show it. I think even Barry Brown was scared - even though he never showed it. Everyone felt safe around Baz. He'd punch your head off if ya got in the way - if he was in the middle of an armed robbin', you got between him and the door, he'd put you on the ground and not think twice about it. But he was good to me, and to everyone else. Darren was only a couple of years older than me. When we were little kids, he was like, my best friend. We used to throw rocks at cars 'n' that. He had a way better BMX than me - my bike was shit. My Uncle Craig moved really fast, like... he was tryin'a stay in front of somethin'. And Grandma Smurf - she just seemed to wanna be wherever the boys were. And she just wanted to be around whatever the boys were doing. But they were all scared, even if they didn't show it, even if they didn't know it exactly. Even if they were having to do what crooks do all the time which is, block out the thing they must know. They must know it - which is that crooks always come undone - always, one way or another. In Melbourne at this time - this is a while ago now - the armed robbery squad was out of control. They were shooting guys willy-nilly and gettin' away with it, and they'd been after Baz and my family for months. But the guy they really wanted, the guy they really hated, was my other Uncle - Uncle Andrew, but everyone just called him 'Pope'. He was hiding in a motel room somewhere 'cause he heard he was next. Craig was sellin' drugs, he was sellin' lots of 'em. He had a detective in the drug squad helpin' him do it - a guy called 'Randall Roach'. They'd meet in a fish shop in Footscray, 'cause Craig loved fish. An' I dunno - all this seemed strange to me, but not strange either, you know what I mean? Kids just are wherever they are and they just do what ever they're doin', you know? This is where I was, and this is what I was doin'. After my mum died, this was just the world I got thrown into.

    • Craig Cody: [after handing J. a handgun] Go get him.

      Joshua 'J' Cody: And do what?

      Craig Cody: Let him know who's king.

    • Barry Brown: Hey, so Nicole's a sweetie. Where'd ya find her?

      Joshua 'J' Cody: [as J. leaves urinal] Found her at school.

      Barry Brown: Where are you going?

      Joshua 'J' Cody: What?

      Barry Brown: Did you wash your hands?

      Joshua 'J' Cody: No.

      Barry Brown: You had your hands on your cock. Your hands go anywhere near your ass or your cock, you wash 'em after. Jesus, c'mon. Bit of soap, get a lather going. Rinse. Alright that's enough, now stick 'em under there.

      [Gesturing towards hand dryer]

      Joshua 'J' Cody: I'm invisible, these things never see me.

      Barry Brown: No one's invisible, mate.
