A peek into the Australian underclass
'The banality of evil' Hannah Arendt said of the Nazi bureacrats behind the holocaust.
This retelling of the 'bodies in the barrels' is much more than an adaptation of the true crime story - it accurately depicts the vast Australian underclass in pure authentic detail, the casualness of the progression from discussions about vigilante justice against supposedly protected pedophiles and the soft justice they recieve into a conspiracy to murder and profit from anyone considered in Astralian criminal parlance 'a dog', a lowlife, not worthy of respect and once upon a time the criminal code in this country considered 'rockspiders' - a colloquial term for pedophiles as marked for vigilante justice.
This film portrays a dark and ominous world where good and evil, right and wrong, are clearly distinguished lines set forth by Bunting.
In revealing the true scale of the crimes, the torture, and indoctrination of the young Jamie who provides us with the dilemma of not being strong enough to challengw the twisted morality of Bunting and Wagner who also act as paternal figures.
Snowtown's eerie, subtle score, pacing, gritty reality of life in the poverty cycle, its raising of genuine questions of justice and morality, excellent casting, acting make this one of Australia's cult classics, along with 'the Boys', 'Blue Murder' to name but a few.
I'm sure this film will live on to become a timeless classic - for reasons far greater than its content.
