this be a docudrama story on the lindy chamberlain case and a look at it impact on australian society . it especially look at the problem of innuendo and gossip and expectation when deal with real life drama . one issue the story deal with be the way it be expect people will all give the same emotional response to similar situation . not everyone go into wild melodramatic hysteric to every major crisis . just because the character in the movie and on tv act in a certain way be no reason to expect real people to do so . this be especially apt for journalist and news editor who appear to be look for the the big sob scene that will pull the rating . it an issue that have to be constantly address . the lead play the character with depth and personality and sensitivity . and they be ably support by a large cast all playing base on fact individual . some viewer may be surprise to learn that many of the support cast in this story be people well know in australia a comic actor . it re enforces my idea that comic actor make some of the best support in drama because with comedy they know how to establish quick impression of individual . ( spoiler warning . ) i have to say something very personal here while in that i be actually an ex adventist who be a practicing member in australia at the time this incident occur while so i have a slightly different impression of the story than most . i think it be handle with amazing creativity and personality and and emotional heart . i think the best scene be the one where the couple be hound by the new chopper . it capture the theme of the story brilliantly . i once heard fred schepsi say in an interview that he tell the actor to play the best case for their character they could . while this be especially apt for this story and i think it be also a general principle that should apply to all acting as well .
