Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

atrickyone A number of Australian reviewers here have commented on how topical or parochial (in a good sense) some of the jokes are in The Castle, and I daresay on that basis that some passed me by -- but it can't have been many. This is a libertarian movie, a demonstration of the power of an (almost) omnipotent State being challenged by an unlikely opponent -- an ill-educated family which happens to know right from wrong, and a hero who fails to see how being evicted from the family home can be justified under any circumstances. The climax is a court hearing, the family's case handled with consummate skill by a retired QC to whom it appeals. (The QC is played by Charles 'Bud' Tingwell, perhaps best known as Detective Craddock in the 1960s series of four Agatha Christie movies which starred Margaret Rutherford). Anyway, I loved the movie, both its philosophy and its humor.

Keeley The opening of the movie is voiced over by the narrator – Dale Kerrigan (Steven Curry), he opens up his story with introducing himself, his family and their home… or there Castle should I say. This movie has won multiple awards, one of few being "Australian Movie of the Year". 'The Castle' is an Australian Comedy-Drama, most people would call it a classical Australian Comedy but I found it rather not humorous at all and quite boring, but not everything can suit everyone so you may be like me and dislike and not at all enjoy the movie whilst everyone around you is laughing… or you might be one of those people laughing and enjoying the movie. This story is told through the eyes of Dale Kerrigan, the youngest boy of the Kerrigan family. The Kerrigan family has 6 members, each having a very strong sense of identity, each showing very strong, loving "Bogan Australian" characteristics. In the Kerrigan family there is Darryl and Sally who are the parents, then there's Wayne who is the oldest son who throughout the movie spends all his time in gaol because "it wasn't his fault he robbed the servo", then there's Tracey and Con who recently just married, Tracy is the only daughter and everyone is so proud of her and he hairdressing career, there's also Steve who is constantly looking for random things to buy in the newspaper and then last of all there's Dale the narrator. The Kerrigan family are an extremely loving, caring and understanding family, which is why so many people love this movie, through anything and everything they still stick together and support each other's decisions. If you love classic Australian humour this is a movie that will get you laughing, but if you are like me and do not at all find it funny, I still suggest you watch it if you have the time but you just might not enjoy it all that much. The movie is based around a problem that this family encounters with their small family home which is next door to an airport in Melbourne. Dale tells his story of his family and the adventure they have after they have a visit from the council telling them that their much loved family home is being taken from them so they can extend the airport. Through-out the film the strong characteristics of each main character is shown constantly, showing that they aren't going to give up, but in the end do they succeed? Or do they eventually give up? The Kerrigan family love their home no matter what anyone says, they love every single thing about it, even the airport next door doesn't bother them with the constant noise of planes coming and going, they think it's amazing they get to live so close to one of the greatest man made creations, and the fact that the government is trying to take that away from them kills them all inside but they won't just give up their house, there home and their castle just in a snap of fingers and they won't give up without a fight. What the government was trying to take from them was a house but really what they would be taking was a home, home is more of a feeling and comfortable memorable place rather than a house which is just a building you live in. The whole neighbourhood are furious about losing their houses and they will all do what they can so they can keep their houses, but is all they've got to give stronger than what the council and government want? Or will they come up with an agreement that everyone agrees with? Or do they not at first succeed but continue fighting their battle like a knight would fight for its castle and village? Overall even though I did not enjoy the movie the story line of a family who doesn't give up no matter what and will fight for the things they love is very heart warming and leaves you with a sense of love and care for the family even though it's just a story.

linda99-15-364808 This is one of our five top movies in the world..........have watched it probably 4 or 5 times........an American friend turned us on to it.....bought it and just keep watching it..........This was SO funny,,,the cheap lawyer....the illustrious solicitor,,,the neighbors.......the family and the kids.....how could anyone think this is kind of for Aussies or something?Maybe being Canucks,,,,we are so close in our thinking to Aussies, of whom there are plenty around here, that we just Get It!Can't believe anyone could not get this....such a simple, heartwarming story...NO violence...nothing scary....o.k. maybe the hairdo's!

naaads Last year, this movie just popped on the telly while I was bored. And I'm so happy that I watched it.I found 'The Castle' hilarious, it was cool to see where many well-used sayings came from. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. This is the truth.Michael Caton is great as Darryl Kerrigan and Eric Bana was spot-on in his first movie role.This really is truer to how a lot of Australians are.....my step-dad is like it and half my cousins are pretty close to it. That's part of what makes it a hit in Australia -- the characters are so ridiculously believable.So, in short, THOROUGHLY enjoyed! I must find this movie in my local movie shop ASAP :)
