But in IASL, he thinks of them as "savages" whose souls he is trying to save on behalf of God (although he doubts his efforts will work). I think that's more likely how it would have been in those days. Same goes for the remark he makes about Evelyn at Phillip's funeral (I don't remember the exact wording but it's something contemptuous about not giving him a Christian burial - which makes Mick walk off in disgust as he overhears it). I always want to slap him for not respecting Evelyn's choice of the traditional "native" funeral rites - but of course it's exactly what a 1940s minister would have done. |

That was absolutely the right attitude to give the minister, even though we think he was a jerk. (And it gave another glimpse of Mick's respect for the locals, despite appearances.) |

(And it gave another glimpse of Mick's respect for the locals, despite appearances.) Yes, exactly. It also shows his feelings about rigid rules of (Western) society. I think Mick is a man who believes strongly in letting people make their own choices, even if that means disregarding conventions. |

These are very nice caps. Thanks PGG! And that was so sweet of Kate to share with you! (The Rooftop always spreads the love, doesn't it?  ) |

 I enjoyed watching both videos. Yes, the first chat is very entertaining. ;D I think the second video is really interesting!! ( "I had been a big fan of Martin Donovan's work from the Hal Hartley films" - I love those films!!!) Thank you, Rueful!

I don't think I've read this review before: www.urbancinefile.com.au/home/view.asp?a=2893&s=featuresI like Rufus's comment: " (...) It struck me like it was a role a Robert Mitchum or a Humphrey Bogart could play. Then I went and took it in the opposite direction. And I’m surprised to hear it described simply as a romance – it’s misleading because it’s not about people or events being romanticised. You tend to think of something not gritty and realistic." |

That's very interesting, Kate! Thanks for posting it. Rufus was right about that role--it was a kind of throwback, a classic antihero (leaning more to the "hero" than to the "anti"). It was also interesting to read Maya Stange's quotes. Wasn't she lucky, to work on such a great film, so early in her career?
