The Castle Film Analysis

The idea of the “Aussie Battler” is projected in The Castle via the protagonist, Darryl Kerrigan. Through this, average Australians who also consider themselves somewhat of an “Aussie Battler” are able to identify with his character. In other words, Darryl is the father that many Australians would be able to relate to as their own. Despite his character being slightly exaggerated, the audience is still able to identify with him on some degree. Darryl is optimistic, hardworking and has “good principles”. Although having an airport in their backyard, Darryl believes that he and his family live in the land of luxury, this projects that Darryl is always looking on the bright side and is able to appreciate the simple things in life, thus this suggests that Australians are quite uncomplicated. An example that supports this archetypal representation of the “Aussie Battler” is when the Kerrigans take a visit to their holiday home in Bonnie Doon. Whilst there, Darryl can be continuously quoted as saying, “how’s the serenity” nevertheless, the audience is positioned to see Bonnie Doon as a desolate landscape complete with high voltage power lines. However, from Darryl’s point of view, you could not get any better. Therefore, the element of identity in this film makes it more relatable towards the intended

Hi everyone! How are you today? Nice to see all you guys here. Let’s me introduce myself first. My name is Jane Kennedy. I am one of writers of the film ‘The Castle’.

The film, The House I live In, opened my eyes to the severity of unfair law enforcement and the depths of the battle with war on drugs. Theoretically, the more people are being arrested for drugs, the cheaper, purer, and more available the drugs become. Making these arrests are not helping get the drugs off the streets, it is only opening up more opportunities for other people to pick up the business.

The Australian cinema in the 1960’s failed to communicate with the audience due to their lack of promotional messages that weren’t disseminated. Media is formed by cultural, political, economic and social conditions. These influenced or even directed its characteristics and its intended meaning. After a devastating blow to the film industry in the 1960’s, filmmakers of Australia had stopped creating and making quality Australian films. However, the Australian New Wave brought a revival of the Australian film industry during the 70's, 80's and 90’s. It introduced Australian qualities into film, including larrikinism, mateship and a classless social hierarchy. The Castle and Gallipoli confirm, promote and explore features of Australian identity

While neither parent regards schooling with much importance, they emphasize both reading and mathematics. The Walls’ children go in and out of public schools, yet they are able to maintain a reading skill that was well above average. Since all three kids were able to read books before the age of five, proving that the ability to read is valued in the family, “We might enroll...ever surrounded us” (20-21). In addition, the children are taught unconventional skills that would help them survive in their difficult lives.

Normally I’m the one to go run and see the film before I finish reading the book, like lots of other people. The Glass Castle the movie was mesmerizing; it’s showed the struggles that Jeanette and her family dealt with growing up in poverty. The movie also captures the main idea that no matter where you come from you can do anything you put your mind to. While reading “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls the mind creates its own movie of how things are supposed to play out. However the movie seemed to be rushed. Many important scenes that Jeanette described great imagery were crammed into one another. Jeanette’s father, Rex Walls was exactly how I expected him to be. Rosemary, Jeanette’s mom was down played in the movie. The movie’s

The Judge influences the students through his authoritative power, which is hard to gain and harder to lose, especially when you’re a ruthless, cold-blooded teenager. This can be seen through Peekay because the Judge can inflict punishment, The Judge also makes his disciples conform to his practices, and he shares motivations with Hitler.
