    The Role Of The Kerrigan Family In The Castle

    Early in "The Castle," the happy Kerrigan family is served a chicken dinner by Sal, wife of proud Darryl and mother of daughter Tracey and sons Dale, Steve and Wayne; Wayne, currently in prison, is the only one missing from the table. Dad (Michael Caton) observes something on the chicken and asks his wife (Anne Tenney) what it is. "Seasoning," she says proudly. Dad beams: "Seasoning! Looks like everybody's kicked a goal." And so life spins along at 3 Highview Crescent in Melbourne, where the Kerrigan home sits surrounded by its built-on rooms, screened-in porch, greyhound kennel, big-dish satellite and carport. For Darryl, it is not so much a house as a shrine to one of the best darn families in the universe, and he proudly points out the plastic…

    The Castle

    Australia has the terrible condition of having an essentially pointless and prefabricated idea of "Aussiness" that really has no relation to our real culture or the way in which we really see ourselves. We, however subscribe to these stereotypes when trying to find some expression of our Australian identity. The feature film, The Castle, deals with issues about Australian identity in the 1990's. The film uses techniques like camera shots, language and the use of narration to develop conflict between a decent, old fashioned suburban family, the Kerrigans and an unscrupulous corporation called Airlink. Feature films like The Castle are cultural products because they use attitudes, values and stereotypes about what it means to be Australian.…

    In composing texts, composers strive to carry across a voice. A voice, which is distinctive due to the various ideologies, it brings to the fore. ‘The Castle’ a film, directed by Rob Sitch, is such a text, where the composer creates a ‘distinctly’ Australian voice’ through the examination of such thematic concern as family, mateship and the little Aussie battlers. By portraying these ideas, the film adopts a unique Australian tone since the Australian culture embodies such sentiments; these sentiments are represented through the composer use of specific features.…

    Case Study: Suspect Interview With Christian Holley

    Part of this is finding out what exactly did happen. Lily told us what happened, but I need to hear from you also what happened. Can we do that? Other than you going into that room naked, what happened when you went into the room? Christian replied, he touched her boobs and her body. I asked what part. He said all of it. I said, so you touched her feet. He said, no he means her arms, leg, and stomach. Did you touch her vagina? He said, “Yeah.” Did you touch her butt? He replied, “Yeah.” When you say that you touched her body, her boobs, her butt, her vagina. Did you touch her underneath her clothes or on top of her clothes? He said, “Under.” Do you remember what she was wearing? He said he thinks pants. I said so if she was wearing clothes, how did you touch her body parts if she was wearing clothes. Did you take off her clothes? Did she take off her clothes? Christian said he just reached under them. I asked if he touched her body with anything other than his hand. He said, No, just me, just my hands.” I asked him if he wanted to try that again. I re-asked the question. I asked if he touched her with anything else other than his hand. I said remember we spoke with her and she told us more than that. You touched her with more than just your hand, am I right? He replied, “Yeah.” I thanked him for answering truthfully. He said I ain’t no liar, I might as well tell the truth because…

    Interior Castle

    The entire book contains themes of turning away from and leaving behind the priorities of earth. Prayer is the first step toward no longer trusting the world to satisfy one's soul and turning toward the eternal, which contains those things God intended to feed eternal souls. The vile creatures outside and in the exterior dwellings of the castle symbolize the appetites and material distractions of the world, all of which are temporary and without the ability to satisfy. It is the soul's responsibility to turn away from the things she recognizes as pulling her attention from her God, and to retrain her appetites to crave the things of God. Even in the deeper dwellings, closer to God, Teresa talks about the human temptation to grow prideful at observing one's progress,.....…

The film illustrates that a leader does not have to have a technical leadership position to gain followers, and how two leaders who have differing viewpoints on leadership cannot exist in the same space without conflict.…
