Movie Reviews of Ned Kelly: The True Story Of Australia's Most Legendary Outlaw.
Movie Review: " I want to say a few words about why I'm an outlaw" ... from Ned Kelly's Letter
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies.What more could one ask for.I love movies of the Old West and this piece of history occurred at the same time ,but in Australia.I also love Irish history and both the struggle and impact that the Irish had in fighting the oppression of Britain and the Crown;not only in Ireland for centuries,but around the world,especially in America,Australia,and yes, even in Canada.Add to all that,my love of the ballads and music of Shel Silverstein,and the singing of Waylon Jennings,throughout the movie.And then there is Mick Jagger's rendition of that famous Irish ballad "Wild Colonial Boy".
While mentioned in the movie ,the full letter Ned Kelly wrote,which to a large degree forms much of the basis for this story,should be read.It can be found in "The Jerilderie Letter",edited by Alex Mc Dermott,which I reviewed on June 6,2009. Also appropriate,would be to read "True History of the Kelly Gabg" by Peter Carey,which I reviewed on June 24,2009.
There is so much to cover in this piece of history,that the movie has to move quickly to cover the story.Some have criticized the choice of Jagger for the main role;but I think he did an excellent job.He did not appear for only short periods,but was in virtually every scene.I was also impressed with the photography and felt that it, along with the music,was outstanding.
Of course,as with any piece of history,there can be endless arguments about how factually accurate every last detail is;but if one can get past nitpicking;this movie is excellent.
Summary of Ned Kelly: The True Story Of Australia's Most Legendary Outlaw.
Rock superstar Mick Jagger makes his dynamic screen debut in this explosive tale from Academy AwardÂ(r)-winning* director Tony Richardson. Based on the fascinating true-life story of the 19th-century Australian Armored Bandit, Ned Kelly is a powerful, action-packed adventure that thrillingly captures a bold and lawless era. When their mother is unfairly persecuted by police, Ned Kelly (Jagger) and his brother Dan earn money for her defense by selling homemade liquor. But what begins as a simple moonshine operation quickly escalates into a series of armed robberies, desperate pursuits and deadly confrontations. Soon, Ned finds himself revered throughout the country as a larger-than-life sagebrush hero even as the law closes in and prepares for an all-out war. *1963: Best Picture, Director, Tom JonesSimilar DVD Movies
