Romper Stomper

A movie I had been meaning to watch ever since Cormac started saying the word “gook” at the end of every sentence back in fourth year. Danny started talking about it yesterday so we watched it today as neither of us had seen it.It revolves around a bunch of lawless Australian skinheads, as they party to loud music, drink, fight (amongst each other as well as against the Vietnamese immigrants living nearby). They are living in an old garage and scrounge off the system whilst hating it. They are portrayed as hopeless, angry lost kids held together by a psychopathic and violent leader played by 

Russell Crowe. He is by far the most relentless and ruthless member of the gang, and during the film you wonder whether or not they’d even exist without him. During the film, things take a turn for the worse, actually they take several turns for the worst…which has an increasingly negative effect on the gang.Crowe leads a cast of tremendously believable Aussie skinheads through their world of hatred 

and debauchery.The cast all deserved awards for their portrayals. As Hando did in the film, Crowe led the cast in becoming “a gang.” The 

best way to see this result is to watch the supporting roles as they watch Hando.
