sin quietly

Australia's "Animal Kingdom" is one of the few excellent English-language films of 2010. The film is characterized by quiet, quiet storytelling, and quiet crime. The long shots and the guide rails move slowly. From the beginning, the male protagonist sits quietly beside his dead mother watching TV, and it is doomed that this is not a gangster film that meets the public's taste. The rhythm is a little dull, but because of the excellent performance of the actors, the director's grasp of the heat, and the original sound of "air supply", I still deeply attracted me, and with the plot, it followed the powerful but quiet explosion at the end.

Although, this is a crime film, but there are no Hollywood commercial elements such as intense gunfights, car chases, bloody, sex scenes, everything is so natural, and every turn comes naturally.

The director is also very young. If it wasn't for the fact that the previous short film won a small award, it is estimated that there is still no money to make this film that has been planned for ten years. Yes, he should have a bright future.

By the way, Jacki Weaver was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the last Oscar for her outstanding acting skills.

    Humans and animals are actually not that different. . .

    The story is weak, the filming is boring and laborious.

Animal Kingdom 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.
