      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

    • [after the death of Craig]

      Janine Cody: [crying] I'm having trouble trying to find my positive spin. I'm usually very good at it. Usually it's right there, and I can just have it. But I'm having trouble finding it now.

    • [after the death of Craig]

      Leckie: You know what the bush is about? It's about massive trees that have been standing there for thousands of years... and bugs that'll be dead before the minute's out. It's big trees and pissy little bugs. And everything knows its place in the scheme of things. Everything... everything sits in the order somewhere. Things survive because they're strong, and everything reaches an understanding. But not everything survives because it's strong. Some creatures are weak, but they survive because they're being protected by the strong for one reason or another. You may think that, because of the circles you move in or whatever, that you're one of the strong creatures, but you're not, you're one of the weak ones. That's nothing against you, you're just - you're just weak because you're young. But you've survied because you've been protected by the strong. But they're not strong anymore, and they're certainly not able to protect you. We're here because we know who you are and we know what you've done. Now, I know you feel like you're in a tough situation. But you have an out. There's nothing your uncles can do to squirm out of this one; Craig's learned that the hard way. But you're not like them. We can see that, and you know that. Now I know that they're saying to you that talking to me is betraying the family, but they've betrayed *you*. The fact that you're talking to me, the fact that you've been left to deal with us... is all the proof that you need. And you're in danger. Don't be confused about that. I think you know. And I think you know that I can help you. But I can't keep offering. You've gotta decide. You've gotta work out where you fit.

      Joshua 'J' Cody: I don't know why you're telling me all of this.

      Leckie: Yes, you do.

    • Detective Randall Roache: Look I know you got a problem Janine, but I don't see how this mess your boys are in has got anything to do with me. So if you've called me in here to see if there are some strings I can pull in your way of course. Is that what this is about?

      Janine Cody: Hey Randall, before you go on, this boy who's currently being looked after, tell me if you agree with this, this boy who's being looked after, he knows who you are. And you know how these things go they're gonna ask him all sorts of questions about everything he's ever seen or done. Everyone he's ever met, the whole schmozzle. And you've done some bad things sweetie, haven't you? I want this part to be clear this is not about you doing me a favor or me blackmailing you or anything like that. It's just a bad situation for everyone. Ezra here's got the address, it shouldn't be too hard to set up a raid on the house. There'd be reasonable grounds, what with all the strange activity, the comings and goings, day and night, one of the neighbors might've seen a gun or something. This is your area of expertise, I'm not trying to tell you how to suck eggs. What do you think?

      Detective Randall Roache: I really don't see how anything can be done, Janine.

      Janine Cody: Randall, I feel sick about this. I'm not happy at all, not one little bit. But we do what we have to do, we do what we must. Just because we don't wanna do something doesn't mean it can't be done.
