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 stage of murder and revenge. The Cody family is such a group of people who only focus on themselves, have no feelings, and never think about their own right or wrong.

I don't want to introduce these people one by one, each person has his own characteristics. The worst person inside I think is the godmother---the mother. He has never stopped his children from doing these lawless things, never reflected on his own education problems, and will only make futile post-mortems, making his grandson give up his principles and feelings for his girlfriend for the sake of his own son.
In the last episode, it wasn't that the two sons were approved by the law - because of the grandson's compromise. But the death of the villain at the end was just personal vengeance, and a plot turned the tone of things into darkness.


What makes this movie stand out:

1. The characters have no expressions, only indifference, only indifference.

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.
