The 1997 Australian film, The Castle, is hilariously witty and entertaining for the whole family. The film follows the life of an Australian family whose backyard is practically the Melbourne airport.
Michael Caton who brilliantly plays Darryl Kerrigan is a very optimistic homeowner who believes his home is situated in the best part of Australia, right in between an airport and a high voltage tower. Darryl lives with his beloved wife Sal, who is played by Anne Tenney. Darryl believes that Sal is the best cooker in the country, even if it is only rissoles. The there’s Dale (Stephen Curry) who is the narrator in the film and Steve (Anthony Simcoe) A.K.A the idea man.
The airport wants to expand, and, under an agreement with the government, they demand the compulsory acquisition of Darryl’s home. Instead of accepting their generous offer and moving, he and a few neighbours decide to fight back.
The film was very enjoyable and the sayings were worth repeating over and over again. Any fun-loving Australian who enjoys a good belly laugh would enjoy this film.
