hmm . i be actually in this film and i go to the premiere screen tonight in newcastle ( after the film have already be in the can for several month now ) . this also coincide with the announcement for the afi award . it do not surprise me that this film wasn not nominate for best picture . i know we have have some absolute stinker of late and but honestly and this fail to live up to my expectation . i read another comment on this page say how it be a high octane thrill ride . well and honestly and this should serve a a reminder not to mix ethanol with your screenplay unless youre go to burn them . i feel for alice bell . i know she be tell by a lot of people that this film be brilliant and but honestly and her vision of a cat out of hell corman esquire tyrade have be painfully dissolve by goldman self indulgent direct . firstly and the talk head documentary . why do it unless you have a lot of screen time to fill . we know what go to happen in the end . it seem to me that if youre go to have a high octane thrill ride and shouldn not you at least be live in the now and the present . i mean and isn not all this just past tense . we know she make it and we know rusty make it and we know someone dy . i mean and if youre go to set your structure up in such a house of card way and you may as well just film it a a segment for a current affair afterall . structure be the most important in storytelling . all the flashy shot and no matter how elaborate and be meaningless if you can not justify your plot . this seem to be the problem with australian film of late . our funding body just seem to be give our tax money to the same old people to create the same old film . trust me and three year from now and this movie will be on some shelf in a dvd shop with a fifty cent pricetag on it . let make something lasting and resonant . play with your camera and digital floating mailbox effect with your own time . once more and i say and decent idea and sadly subvert and poorly execute . alice if youre reading this dear and do not let my word get you down . please try and try again .
