So polarising yet surprisingly so accurate.
Being a teenager in the 1970s it brought back so many memories. What you think such things portrayed in the movie cold not possibly happen? Just to mention a few: Cracker fights...yep Riding in the back of the station wagon...yep Pissed on when stung by a bluebottle....yep Saw beached whales blown up as they were too big to be moved...yep (Toogoom Beach QLD 1968) "Enthusiastic" young ladies....yep Stupid dangerous stunts involving fire and bikes/cars....yep Being stuck in the rumpus room while the adults misbehaved...yep Made to wear really stupid clothes....yep High shoes for men...yep (and I am 6'2") Everyone smoking everywhere....yep Police drinking beer on the job....yep Getting hurt and having adults just tell us to toughen up...yep Drink driving everywhere all the time.....yep
All of those things I witnessed or was involved in personally.
This is a brilliant film and every time I watch it I see something new.
As I stated in the headline; if you were there it is very, very funny, if not then you will most likely think it is some sort of racist homophobic sexist slapstick debacle as it has no social justice warriors, helicopter parents, safe spaces or diversity so it could not possibly be real......but it was :)
