The Australian film "Animal Kingdom" has received multiple nominations, including an Oscar (Best Supporting Actress), and won many local awards. I also won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in the United States. It’s

really a family of beasts. From grandmother to grandchildren are not general. The

first scene is that his son Joshua (James Frecheville/actor) witnessed his mother's death by taking drugs. (Jacki Weaver). I live in my grandmother's house. The house is full of uncles of drug criminals or robbers. The

rhythm is tight, the plot is smooth, and the actors are of good quality. The most admired is the young actor James Frecheville. The grandmother Jacki Weaver, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress, is another pillar of the film.

Like that scene, every house is full of police, and her sons are arrested, but she sits at the dining table leisurely and slowly lifts the cup in her hand. Teabags, the smile on my face is still fresh in my memory. The

last scene is unexpected, bringing the movie climax to a complete end.

Guy Pearce, who plays the detective, is another outstanding actor.

See the special issue. According to the introduction, the film was written based on real people and facts. The director said that "it actually happened in Melbourne in the late 1980s." But he "does not want to set the background of the film in the 1980s... and set the film in an unspecified past.. "

Animal Kingdom 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.
