Could happen to anyone
[Outlawed] My gut reaction to watching this film was that it describes a personal account of a Middle Eastern man’s journey on a train and subsequent abduction, in a realistic and gritty form. What I liked about the film was that the man’s journey on the train could happen to anyone and how it depicts the way people are so quick to judge others on their appearance.
One of the messages I took from this film was that if you want to find out about something, go to the source instead of relying on second hand information. We should judge ourselves before we dare to judge others.
The narrative at the end of the film echoes the sentiment that effective communication is a key tool to achieving peace in Australia and the world.
Has Fury, delivers Wisdom
[From May 2010 intro]
Outlawed and Framed have Fury and deliver Wisdom. Outlawed is an ingenious melding of thriller tension and personal diary cinema. Within the chaos, within the confused landscape of multiculturalism and racism combined, there is the human voice saying “Hey, say hello, don’t be afraid”.
