In keeping with the history, Jun 5 2004
I first heard of Ned Kelly on one of the many Ted Egan tapes that my father purchased as my family was driving around Oz when I was 12. "Such as life Ned Kelly, Such as life." When my boyfriend and I went back last year we went and saw the film (twice) upon it's release in Adelhaide. We went on to Glenrowen and I was very pleased with how closely the movie and the song had followed Ted's Life (although as Hollywood is wont to add some things, there is no mention in the history of the love affair with the boss' wife) We also visited the Melbourne Gaol where Ned was held and saw his death mask. I was disapointed that the movie did not premier on the big screen in North America, we know so much about folk hero's from the United States that this was a welcome change. I recommend Ned Kelly as a wonderful glimpse of Austriala's history. For more movies about Australia check out Rabbit Proof Fence.
