surprising to see so much racism here; the funny thing is that, for all the racist rants about "everyone who isn't my race has an underdeveloped mind etc" racism itself is often a good indicator of an underdeveloped mind. What are the most racist places in the world? they're also the least educated, lowest average IQ, lowest scientific literacy, etc. Charlie's response to this degenerate, a good knock to the skull, is well appreciated.

@NordicSteel no stats, sample sizes, actual studies to back that up, just your irrelevant prejudice

@TheFunkyCaucasian yeah frying pan, they all look like their skin is leather, somehow the outback is scarier than some of these people

@Menegoth this is true, races are BIOLOGICALLY AND PHYSIOLOGICALLY different

@bausy88 never was a fan of apocalypse now, but you're idea is quite true.

John Hurt-- National treasure or universal treasure?

Jellon Lamb. It's like he jumped out of the pages of a Dostoevsky novel and into the frying pan that is the Australian outback. Great character. Great writing. Great performance. Fun for the whole family ;)

@sqccccccccc Because races have inherent differences.
The parallels between this film and Heart of Darkness are evident. An untamed and wild land that adversely affects the 'civil'. European attempts to civilise it. A wraithlike and illusive character the protagonist seeks and the natives view in awe and fear, spirit or goldlike. In this monologue Hurt makes a specific reference to the Congo. This brilliant film is almost an Australian Heart of Darkness in my opinion. Obviously not an adaptation but maybe inspired, much like Apocalypse Now.
