according to don storey , some footage for the intruders was filmed at eden , a town near mallacoota ( urltoken ) .
to concentrate better on film production and separate clearly the worlds of fiction and documentary ( including educational film ) , kanun , almost simultaneously with its film production department , created its educational film center . abbas kiarostami , who had a taste for nonfiction , was appointed to run the center . the subjects varied from arts and crafts to science and technology , from health issues to social institutions .
the working title for the intruders was mallacoota , which is the name of the seaside holiday town in which the film is set and shot . thanks to j . grant , honorary curator - m & dhs inc - mallacoota wwii bunker museum , for contributing information about this location .

the results were described as disappointing , as the feature film failed to replicate the success of the television series . it did however achieve a theatrical release in the uk on the back of the huge success of the series in that country .
a tale of sunken treasure & spirited adventure in skippy ' s first ever feature length film .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
on the strength of this australian sale and the optimism of covering the remaining costs from overseas , production started in earnest in 1967 . with a few more episodes in the can , john mccallum and bob austin secured sales in europe and the uk ( but not america ) and in april 1968 a second series commenced production . in 1970 , a breakthrough in the united states came via breakfast cereal manufacturer kellogg’s , who entered into a syndication deal which meant that the program screened on more than 160 american television stations . in total , 91 episodes over three series as well as a feature film , the intruders ( 1969 ) , were produced between 1966 and september 1969 .
episode 34 , ‘the last chance’ , is something of a self - parody . in the episode , skippy stars in a film , performing a number of far - fetched extraordinary deeds - very similar to that featured in the series ! many of the skippy crew appear in the episode as extras portraying the film crew of the story .
we don ' t have enough data to suggest any movies based on skippy and the intruders . you can help by rating movies you ' ve seen .
skippy’s awards included an awg ie , penguin and logie special award for best export production in 1968 , and in 1969 the charlie award for best promotion and contribution to the australian entertainment industry .
the script for the intruders , by shifting the action to the sea and the beach - foreign terrain for a bush kangaroo - seems almost wilfully perverse in sidelining skippy , and this might help explain the film ' s lack of box office appeal . there ' s not much a kangaroo can do in relation to a power boat , or an underwater gold heist .
is an example of the strength of his work and recognition from the producers of the importance of music in drama . among his later film and tv credits , jupp was the music director for the adventure series

this rarely seen 1969 stand - alone production takes place in the famed waratah national park and continues the intrepid adventures of young sonny hammond ( garry pankhurst ) alongside his ever - reliable marsupial friend .
to secure the initial funds for the film production at kanun , širvānlu proposed a profit - making “showcase” by inviting a branch of the renowned moscow circus , which was on the tail - end of a tour of the middle east , to perform in iran . he invited f . moezi moghadam , then working for the ministry of economy as an economist , to manage the circus’s operations and its financial administration in 1969 . with the modest profits generated by the circus , kanun obtained its first film production cameras and sound recording and lighting equipment ; step by step , the basement rooms of its six - floor headquarters was transformed into a film workshop with cutting , editing , dubbing , and projection rooms .
won a number of awards : a 1968 logie special award for best export production ; a 1968 awgie for michael wright , writer of ep . 4 , ' the poachers ' ; a 1968 penguin for best live show ; and a 1969 charlie award for best promotion and contribution to the australian entertainment industry . all three series of skippy plus the movie the intruders have been released on dvd .
the intruders premiered in december 1969 , in time to capitalise on the school holiday audience . there was some underwater filming in the movie , handled by ron and valerie taylor , and it featured a unique two - man submarine which was later used extensively in the series barrier reef . basically a feature - length episode , the movie was seen as a good rollicking adventure yarn and was well - received by skippy fans .

the film has been released in the uk on dvd , in 4 : 3 . while the print is slightly worn , the colour is good , and the presentation generally acceptable , with only the closing shots showing lots of sparkle and dirt .
and tony bonner tried his hand at a musical career by recording a self - titled album for festival records in 1969 , which , inevitably , included him singing the skippy theme song .
skippy and the intruders . so i will provide the original link for you as well . feel free to ask them to do the same to protect your rights . i ' m truly sorry if this ever happens .
the next logical step was a feature film spin - off , with a script by lee robinson based on a story by ross napier .

ninety - one 30 - minute episodes were made over the three seasons of production . at the time of first screening , australian television was still in black and white , however , the show was filmed in colour on 16 mm film to increase its international marketability , especially in the united states and canada , where it aired in syndication between 1969 and 1972 . the nine network readily repeated the series several times after australian television switched to colour transmission in 1975 .
as with the television series , there was a film tie - in involving golden books . the golden book spin - offs of the tv series and the feature were estimated to have generated nearly a half million sales by january 1973 .
while the screenplay by t . j . cimfel and david white eventually proves unsatisfying in its plot revelations , the film certainly holds your attention thanks to schindler ' s tautly paced direction and riegraf ' s emotionally nuanced performance . the violence is more bloodily graphic than it needs to be , with the result that intruders ( screened at festivals under the more evocative title shut in ) feels more like a familiar exploitation item than the sophisticated thriller it might have been .
all the cast members went on to appear in many film and television series , both in australia and overseas , except garry pankhurst - he gave up acting and never returned to the profession .

and he didn’t . bonner left the show at the end of the second series .
the life of a witch is disrupted by the arrival of a boy and his mother . the intruders ' presence makes her struggle to adjust to the modern world , and to change from bad to good witch . based on the book

by wende and harry devlin . starring hermione gingold , anna strasberg , roger morgan and burgess meredith as the narrator .
. the situations were usually believable , and good performances from the cast heightened the credibility .
skippy was also a merchandising bonanza , with book annuals , skippy money boxes , product placements and branding , perhaps the best film or tv example of the craft in australia in the nineteen sixties , following on but far exceeding ken hall ' s 1930s example of chut the kangaroo in orphan of the wilderness .
diving scenes were featured in a later episode ( no . 58 ‘the shark taggers’ ) plus the skippy movie the intruders , but these were all handled by famous husband - and - wife team ron and valerie taylor , as were the extensive underwater scenes in fauna’s next series barrier reef . the taylor’s were world - renowned underwater experts , and valerie appeared on camera as a diver in ‘the shark taggers’ .
i remember this one shown on the cbs children ' s film festivals , and recall it because it was ' repackaged ' as ' the old witch , ' which is what they called the books over here in the states . used to get them from the weekly reader ( god , am i showing my age , or what ? ) . and i agree , the magic pancake scenes are hilarious , i remember watching it and thought
is there something wrong with the film ?
i would definitely love it if rifftrax did this one .
and the ' star ' of the show , of course , is skippy the bush kangaroo .
what morris is really talking about is the manner in which we persuade ourselves that information is proof when it ' s merely information . he originally wanted to make a film about the case but he says no one was interested . he describes a meeting with a studio executive in which he was told that the film can ' t be made .
why ?
he asks .
because he ' s guilty ,
the executive replies .
the man killed his family .

juan carlos fresnadillo ' s intruders is an atmospheric psychological horror hybrid that samples from a lot of genre staples without fully committing to any of them . like the best of recent spanish fright fare , pan ' s labyrinth , it harnesses the vulnerability and powerful imagination of children . it throws in a franchise - ready monster - movie boogeyman called hollow face , and even adds a hint of possession and ecclesiastical intervention that harks back to the exorcist . where the film falls apart is in trying to steer this nightmare out of dark fantasy into the cold light of logic .

at around 3 . 30am macdonald called the emergency services , while apparently drifting in and out of consciousness . he told the first military police to arrive that his family had been attacked by four intruders – two white men , a black man and a white woman . he said the woman held a candle and chanted
acid is groovy
and
kill the pigs
. on the headboard in the marital bedroom the word
pig
was written in blood .
this film , which was narrated by burgess meridith , was recently written up in the ny times . it has developed the kind of cult following that has made it a legend . it was made by parent ' s magazine and distributed through schools , to be shown at assemblies and when rain kept the children in during recess . it was lost to the sands of time until the internet came along . hundreds of people were finally vindicated in their memories of this odd little film that none of their friends remembered .
after the revolution , the film department was entrusted to newcomers , and foruzeš turned his attention to writing and directing . his post - revolution feature films , most of which were prize winners and box office successes , were also produced by kanun .
sydney pop group ‘the executives’ appeared in ep . 35 , ‘the bushrangers’ , the title referring to the name of a band that the group portray in the episode . four of the six members of the group took part in the episode , with actor fred sims playing the fifth band member . they perform two songs in the episode , one being a specially written variation of the skippy theme tune . being the talented kangaroo that she is , skippy even joined the group as a drummer !
kanun productions were the first experience of film direction for a number of today’s best - known iranian directors , including abbas kiarostami , bahrām beyzāʾi , sohrab šahid - ṯāleṯ , moḥammad - reżā aṣlāni , nāṣer taqvāʾi , and amir nāderi . all internationally recognized iranian animation film directors started their work at kanun , and many have continued to cooperate with it , or have finished their oeuvre with it .
as a bonus , within this extra , you get the piano accordion stylings of gus herzi and charles and janie paton ' s puppets ( it seems capitals didn ' t exist in those days for film credits ) .
episode 19 , ‘the waratah festival’ , was filmed during the annual sydney waratah festival float procession . taking part in the actual parade was a ‘waratah national park’ float with the cast members plus skippy and hector the emu on board . while in the procession , action was staged on the float which was used in the episode . so while the real - life audience at the festival were watching a skippy float in the parade , all the while it was being filmed for use in an episode where a ‘waratah national park’ float has been entered in the procession . a neat two - pronged plan - publicity for the series in a high - profile community event ; and a unique setting to film an episode of the series .
after production of the series ceased , the film set in ku - ring - gai chase national park was opened to the public in january 1970 as a ‘theme park’ and animal sanctuary , with skippy and the other animals taking up permanent residence there . ed deveraux was on hand , in uniform as matt hammond , for the official opening . initially operated by fauna productions , the management of the park changed hands over the years , and was still operating as of 2006 .
the intruders arrive in the form of two suspicious divers ( ron graham and jeff ashby ) seeking a park permit to carry out regulation abalone fishing . with their request granted by chief ranger matt hammond ( ed devereaux ) they begin an underwater operation which involves a clandestine treasure hunt in a submersible to retrieve the cargo of lost gold from a sunken wreck .

this is just weird enough to work i think haha . it ' s 22 minutes - not bad for a short film plus its narrated by burgess meredith aka the penguin from the 1960 ' s batman series . . . . and there ' s a witch !

the episode , no . 13 ‘the marine biologist’ , featured world deep sea diving champion kathy troutt , who set a world record for the deepest scuba dive by a female when she was only 17 . in addition to her diving prowess , kathy also happened to be a pretty girl who could act , which made her an obvious choice for a number of parts in various film and television series ( including riptide , chopper squad and the film blue lagoon ) , particularly if diving or swimming scenes were required . however , she only appeared in one episode of skippy .
3 . “the traveler” ( mosāfer ) , live , 35mm , 72 min ( 83 min when shown in france in 1992 and later in us ) b / w ; director , abbas kiarostami ( directing his first feature - length film ) .
the climactic action lurches off on a visual tangent reminiscent of guillermo del toro ' s work , as mia ' s bedroom comes alive with a seething mass of inky tendrils . it ' s an intriguing idea that the same trauma hatches a vivid nightmare that continues to develop in the active minds of children over two generations . but the resolution nonetheless is unsatisfying , dismantling the film ' s supernatural foundations using dreary psychology .
john laws , well - known as an outspoken sydney talkback radio host , appeared as a villain and performed a rendition of ‘the wild colonial boy’ in ep . 41 , ‘honest jack’ , his first major acting role . his part in the episode led directly to him being cast in a lead role opposite googie withers in the film the nickel queen . john mccallum , who was also producer of the nickel queen , said
the opening titles showed a scene of sonny calling skippy by whistling through a gumleaf , and skippy responding . the cast members then received an individual credit , with the curious exception of liza goddard - for some reason she was never included in the opening titles . the final credit , naturally , was for ‘skippy the bush kangaroo’ . the opening neatly demonstrated the unique relationship between sonny and skippy , and showcased the bushland setting . the closing credits were superimposed over a scene of the helicopter on the helipad .
the first series commenced with a ‘teaser’ before the opening titles , but for the second and third series the ‘teaser’ was dropped and the episode started with the stock opening . after four episodes , the opening was altered , commencing with ep . 44 ‘the raft’ . the same structure was retained , the only change being different scenes for the actors , necessitated in part by the fact that garry pankhurst , and to a lesser extent ken james , were noticeably older . there was still no credit for liza goddard , however on the closing credits liza was now listed with the other cast members ( whether she appeared in the episode or not ) , whereas in the first series her credit was included with the guest actors .
a self - financed pilot episode in 1966 was aimed squarely at an overseas market . although australian television at this time was still in black - and - white , skippy was filmed in colour on 16mm film to increase its international appeal . however , john mccallum first offered the show to australian frank packer , head of a media empire that included the nine network . according to mccallum , despite the fact that the sound and then the picture packed up during the screening , packer agreed to back the series .

underwater photography was done by ron and valerie taylor , then the go - to people for this kind of filming , and while not up to the standard of their evocative reef work for age of consent - because of the relatively dull underwater location selected for filming - it is perhaps still the best element in the film . this footage features what was at the time deemed james bond - style underwater gear , a mini sub used to explore a wreck for gold bullion .
there is some ambiguity around the creative genius behind skippy , although general agreement that actor and producer john mccallum ( 1918–2010 ) , film director lee robinson ( 1923–2003 ) and lawyer bob austin , who together formed fauna productions , all played a key role along with producer on the first series , dennis hill .
during filming of the second series , a major breakthrough occurred - a sale was made to the united states . breakfast cereal manufacturer kellogg’s entered into a syndication deal which would see skippy eventually being shown on more than 160 american television stations , commencing in january 1969 . at that stage the series was already being seen in 51 countries , and would be screened in 85 countries by the end of the year , and ultimately would reach over 128 countries . lee robinson said skippy had proved that australia need not confine itself to the local market : “obviously our artists and technicians have been producing the quality necessary for world success . ”

that crime spooked the suburbs of america . it seemed to be the evil fruit of a society in flux , rootless , godless , unpatriotic . and macdonald was the very opposite of all that . a graduate of princeton , he was the embodiment of the all - american hero – the athletic school quarterback who became a handsome , hard - working emergency doctor , the green beret who married his childhood sweetheart . yet investigators soon began to suspect it wasn ' t drugged - up intruders who killed his family but macdonald himself , who then carefully stabbed himself to make it look as though he had been attacked .

this goes with the genre , but contemporary critics complained that skippy didn ' t do enough work in the feature , despite opening the show and being on hand for the climax .

fauna’s first plan was to follow the success of they’re a weird mob with a spin - off series , but it was soon realised that the subject had limited appeal for overseas audiences - even though it broke box - office records in australia , the film had little success in other countries . unlike crawford productions , who were making shows primarily for a local audience , fauna’s vision was always for the international market .
shooting began in october 1968 , using the same crew and some of the same key sets as the tv series . the unit first did location work at the victorian town of mallacoota , and then did sydney interiors in november .
errol morris works in a large , airy studio in cambridge , massachusetts . when i visit him on a bitterly cold afternoon in february , he ' s editing a film about donald rumsfeld , provisionally titled the known unknown . morris won his oscar for the fog of war , a brilliant documentary about robert mcnamara , the us defence secretary during the vietnam war . did he , i wonder , get access to rumsfeld ?
what at first appears to be a standard home invasion thriller is transformed into something more complex , if ultimately not much more rewarding , in adam schindler ' s directorial debut . the story of an agoraphobe who can ' t escape her home when it ' s broken into by three men intent on robbery , intruders at least offers an intriguing twist or two .
later this year the judge in wilmington is due to report on his findings on the long saga of the people versus jeffrey macdonald . it should be the last throw of the dice for the 69 - year - old doctor . mcginniss and morris are of the same opinion : they are not expecting him to get lucky .
the pilot episode , ‘man from space’ , was included as part of the first series , but it was screened at various times . in some places it was shown early in the series run , whereas most cities ( including sydney and melbourne ) showed it towards the end of the first series or during the second series . there were some differences in the pilot : garry pankhurst as sonny looks noticeably younger , and ranger headquarters is a completely different building - the house used in the series was not constructed until after the pilot had been made . the end credits feature a view of the ( different ) ranger hq instead of the usual helicopter on the helipad scene , and the original opening titles were later substituted for the series two stock opening .
the same team as featured in the long running television series turn up in the feature film , including chief ranger of waratah national park matt hammond ( ed devereaux ) , his sons mark ( garry pankhurst ) and sonny ( ken james ) , along with a flight ranger jerry king ( tony bonner ) and clancy , a teenager girl who works at ranger headquarters ( liza goddard ) .
the third series ran to only 13 episodes , making a total of 91 , and production was wound up in september 1969 . it was never intended to make any more , partly because 91 episodes was considered enough , and partly because garry pankhurst was growing up . john mccallum , in his book life with googie , later said 91 was too many , and they should have stopped at the end of the second series . the reason was that most countries would only purchase selected episodes , ranging from a minimum of thirteen to a maximum of 78 .
on the day of her brother ' s funeral , a trio of intruders ( joshua mikel , martin starr , jack kesy ) break in , assuming that the house is empty , to look for the large cache of cash rumored to be there . at first rudely surprised and then amused when they discover that beth is not only present but also suffering from a psychological condition that prevents her from escaping even through an open door , they threaten to kill her if she doesn ' t tell them where the money is hidden .
the name given to john ' s daughter is more likely a fanboy in - joke than a direct nod to rosemary ' s baby , given that intruders has little kinship to that classic , or to polanski paranoia in general . it treads an ambiguous line between violent reality and frightening imagination as it cuts back and forth between luisa and john ' s attempts to protect their children .
feature - length film spin - off of the australian hit tv series ' skippy the bush kangaroo ' , starring all the regular tv cast . when matt hammond , head ranger in the holiday paradise of mallacoota , is approached by two divers for permission to search for abalone off the coast of the waratah national park , flight ranger jerry king becomes suspicious . he is certain there is no abalone in waratah , and , when he sees the divers ' large cruiser , he is convinced that they are not fishermen . it turns out that he is right : they have been hired to find a wreck and illegally salvage the cargo . . .
filming commenced in may 1967 , on the strength of the sale to channel nine and the optimism of covering the remaining two - thirds of the costs from overseas sales . considerable preparatory work was required before filming could commence . production offices had to be set up in sydney , and permission was required from the nsw state government to occupy land in the ku - ring - gai chase national park north of sydney . co - operation was received from the nsw national parks and wildlife service and the ku - ring - gai chase trust , who set aside 24 acres of land for use as a film set , and granted access to a further 500 acres of surrounding park . a house was built

much of the action in the skippy movie took place at mallacoota :
there was a large amount of location filming down the coast at mallacoota inlet
( see urltoken ) . according to j . grant , the mallacoota inlet entrance - also known as ' the bar ' - features in some of the abalone boat scenes .

in 1970 , colette macdonald and her two daughters were stabbed to death in a savage frenzy , setting in motion america ' s longest - running murder trial . after decades of legal wrangles , her husband , a military doctor , remains in jail for the crime . we spoke to errol morris , an oscar - winning film - maker who has written a book about the case which reaches some startling conclusions…
of course kangaroos don’t say ‘tchk tchk tchk’ . sound editor phil judd remembers getting producer dennis hill up to the microphone to demonstrate skippy’s trademark sound . visually skippy ‘talking’ was achieved by giving the kangaroo something to chew . many alternatives were tried including chewing gum , rubber bands , chocolate and , most successfully , grass . when filming ended skippy continued to live in the film set in ku - ring - gai chase national park , which was opened to the public in january 1970 as a theme park and animal sanctuary .
the fact that worse atrocities were being conducted elsewhere was no excuse for their own irresponsibility , and local police and an inspector from the rspca conducted an investigation of the incident .

the next series to be made by fauna productions was barrier reef , set in north queensland , and many of the skippy crew worked on the new show . ken james played one of the lead roles in the series , that of diver kip young , but it was originally planned that he would continue his character of mark hammond in the new series .
the third series opening titles retained the same style , with different scenes of the actors , and of course the lack of a credit for tony bonner . ( some prints of the third series were later modified by reverting to the second series opening titles - probably to allow them to be mixed up with earlier episodes and screened in random order . unfortunately , these altered episodes are used on the dvd release . ) there were a couple of different vehicles being used in the third series , but the major changes were the absence of clancy and jerry king . clancy had been written out at the end of the second series , but no explanation was given for jerry’s departure - he , and the helicopter , were just simply not there . the audience could only assume that his duties as chief flight ranger were keeping him away from waratah national park .
it is often noted that skippy is always the sidekick to the action , providing reaction shots , the occasional helpful paw , a ' tch tch ' here and there , and a decisive intervention at the point when baddies need to be defeated .

ultimately what did for macdonald was not his personality or his lifestyle but the forensic evidence . morris maintains that the crime scene was despoiled by the military police who first arrived and that therefore the forensics are unreliable . but every disputed criminal case of note has its totemic piece of evidence . with oj simpson it was the glove that didn ' t fit . in the assassination of jfk it was the so - called magic bullet . in the macdonald case it ' s a pyjama top .
was set in the fictitious waratah national park , a conservation area open to the public for recreational pursuits , where all plants and wildlife are protected . head ranger of the park was matt hammond , played by ed deveraux , an accomplished actor who had appeared in many film and television roles in both australia and britain , including they’re a weird mob and the abc mini - series my brother jack . initially , deveraux did not want to be in the series : “i said i didn’t want anything to do with what i thought was going to be children’s tv . i thought it was a sort of ‘low grace’ thing . ”
it takes a speedboat chase and a gunfight in the sand dunes before the gang leader ( kevin miles as a nasty piece of work ) is brought to justice . . . naturally with the help of the clever , hardworking ' roo . . .
executive producers of skippy were john mccallum and bob austin . producers of the first series were lee robinson and dennis hill . hill was also instrumental in the development of the show , however he only worked on the first series . producers of the second series were robinson and joy cavill , and cavill was the producer for the third series . most episodes were directed by max varnel or eric fullilove , both of whom had extensive experience overseas .
following his 2001 domestic debut , intacto , fresnadillo landed a plum assignment with 28 weeks later , capably picking up where danny boyle left off in his terrifying zombie spree , 28 days later . co - financed by universal pictures international , intruders shows again that fresnadillo can deliver chills , sustain a mood of potent dread and ratchet up suspense as such b - movies demand . but nico casariego and jaime marques ' shaky screenplay lets him down .
morris has had several communications with macdonald , although he avoided contact during the writing of the book so as not to allow emotion to affect his focus .
he is a problematic person ,
he says .
is there anything he said to me , anything in his demeanour that tells me he slaughtered his family ? not really , no . to me the issue is not whether i like jeffrey or i don ' t like jeffrey , because i do like jeffrey , but i still think it ' s irrelevant . there are lots of people from 1969 and 1970 who really liked him , admired him and his family , saw him as a loving father .
the figure of most controversy , though , is jeffrey macdonald . he remains incarcerated and steadfast in his protestations of innocence . in a prison ceremony in 2002 he married a woman who is equally convinced that he is not guilty . yet nothing adds up with him . his story about the hippie intruders seems fantastic . acid is groovy ? kill the pigs ? that sounds like dialogue from one of roger corman ' s more hamfisted exploitation movies . and why would a gang go to such sustained and ferocious lengths to kill a pregnant woman and two small children and yet leave a powerful and therefore dangerous man with only a single puncture wound ?

but the initially terrified beth turns out to be far from what she seems , and the same goes for her home . during the ensuing ultra - violent cat - and - mouse , she reveals surprising resources , utilizing the house — which comes to resemble a demonic theme - park attraction — to turn the tables on her tormentors .
there is a good reason skippy is a timeless hit worldwide . you feel like you are out there with sonny and skippy roaming the park . sonny keeps his childlike innocence while the adults handle the details . skippy is the power all children wish they had over an adult world . and it all comes out safe in the end .
student leader gary ross tried to defend their negligent actions , saying the whole thing was intended only as an amusing stunt : “as soon as we realised that the prank had gone sour we returned the kangaroo we were holding . ” when told how upset people were by the whole stunt , he replied : “we might remind people of the hundreds of kangaroos which are being slaughtered in the outback areas . ”

dear dolphin
and
where to ?
, . . .
in 2015 , a bottlenose dolphin was found dead on a beach in bunbury with an octopus hanging from its mouth . researchers determined the healthy dolphin had suffocated digesting its kill .
actress lee jin - yeong took pictures with producer kang jina from
dear dolphin
and actress han ye - ri . in the picture are kang jina and han ye - ri the rookie , seemingly very close and friendly , . . .
research published last month in marine mammal science revealed the unique methods one species of dolphin use to tackle this defense mechanism .
the agile dolphin breached the surface of the river with a high dive in the hope of dislodging the would - be meal .
one of the big winners at jiff 2013 , dear dolphin is a very attractive film that deals with the issues of love , loss , and grief . director kang jina explores such weighty topics well by constructing the fragility of each protagonist as unique according to their psychology , but the decision to employ non - linear techniques dilutes the emotional intensity of the story . yet with a great performance by lee yeong - jin , as well as some truly beautiful sequences involving potent water symbolism , dear dolphin is a thought - provoking film on the nature of life , death , and spirituality .
there ' s no denying kang ' s natural ability as both a storyteller and a stylist . but for all of dear dolphin ' s merits , and there are many , it is slightly undermined by a pervading sense of familiarity . the film ' s well - rendered elements have all appeared elsewhere before and there ' s a certain lack of conviction in its conclusion . kang has the makings of a great director but it may take another feature until she can harness her enormous talent behind a more gripping story . until then , dear dolphin is an impressive example of filmmaking with just the faintest twang of a hollow core .
the bottlenose dolphin shake the octopus in their jaws before slamming it onto the water ' s surface to wear out the creature ' s suckered arms .
the most anticipated film of the jeonju international film festival ' s korean competition this year , kang ji - na ' s feature dear dolphin , was also the most polished . with its themes of love , loss and loneliness , as well as its vibrant colors , strong mise - en - scene and well - judged flights of fancy , its appeal is universal .
extraordinary images have surfaced showing a dolphin carrying an unexpected passenger on its back as it leaps from the hastings river in port macquarie , on the new south wales north coast .
will co - star alongside kim hye - soo and lee sun - kyun actor lee hui - joon , currently appearing in korean war melodrama a melody to remember , will join top star kim hye - soo and lee sun - kyun in crime noir precious lady . the thriller will mark the debut of filmmaker lee an - gyu . active across the big and small screen , lee recently appeared in the indie dear dolphin ( 2013 ) , the maritime thriller haemoo . . .
“dear dolphin” is a sensitive story about dark and gloomy moments of loss and grief . the movie is not a pleasant experience , but this is an engaging drama none the less , and i must point out that it is not entirely devoid of humor and laughs while quietly observing the pain and sadness inside its characters . it is difficult to let your loved one go , but , as some of you have experienced , we eventually do that regardless of whether we want it or not – and we move on as the living .
“dear dolphin” , a calm south korean character drama about loss and grief , shows us in the beginning a young lively couple who is about to have a dinner together at their small but cozy apartment . hyeok - gun ( lee hee - joon ) and cha - kyeong ( han ye - ri ) are deeply in love , and we instantly sense their mutual affection as they warmly and playfully interact with each other . their life is a bit hard as both of them have to work to support their household , but they are happy in spite of that , and it looks like nothing can possibly separate them .
hyeok - geun ( played by lee hee - joon ) is a nurse in a long - term relationship with cha - kyeong ( played by han ye - ri ) . he also spends a lot of time , by proxy , with cha - kyeong ' s best friend gi - ok ( played by lee young - jin ) . an accident ends up rupturing the combined friendship of the three , and from there ,
dear dolphin
deals with the matter of grief . specifically , how left to their own devices , the surviving characters really don ' t have any idea what to do , and resort to semi - elaborate means of self - punishment , . . .
frank mulville tells of his adventures crossing the atlantic alone several times . he gets to cuba where he cuts cane . he meets his first american in the fog off cape cod . most powerfully he tells of surviving a storm in the bermuda triangle . iskra ' s dolphin figurehead is his imaginary mentor , reflecting his fears and hopes .
the last day of jiff started with
dear dolphin
, the final korean competition piece that i had not yet seen . this film left me feeling very ambiguous and uncertain . reflexively , i want to write that i didn ' t like it - the problem is that the film ' s deeply personal subject matter is about failing to come to terms with grief . it ' s about as painful an emotion as i can think of , and if the film ' s goal was to impart this despondency onto my own person , i had to admit that it succeeded . as much as i would like to , i can ' t fault any individual aspect of the film as being insincere to its characters or larger story , . . .
dear dolphin excels when dealing with the subject matter of grief , and the variety of forms which it takes . the emotion is a problematic one to portray , yet director kang succeeds in capturing the different complexity of each protagonist . hyeok - geun’s internal strife is articulated through his continual self admonishment and his self - imposed alienation , while the insomnia inspired hallucinations of cha - kyeong reveal his inability to accept her death . gi - ok meanwhile cannot cope with the loneliness of her best friend’s passing , heightened by her guilt over desiring hyeok - geun . both characters blame themselves for not doing something – anything – to change the past , while cha - kyeong’s family resent them for much the same reason . the emotional complexity of everyone involved is compelling throughout , as each person commits irrational acts without fully understanding why .

korean movie of the week
dear dolphin
( 2013 ) directed by kang jina with lee hee - joon , lee young - jin , han ye - ri , ki joo - bong , bae je - ki , park myung - shin , . . . synopsis one year since my love left , still i stay with her in my fantasy . one summer night , cha - kyeong dies by a car accident , leaving her boy friend hyeok - geun behind in the greatest sorrow . one year since she died , hyeok - geun is still waiting for cha - kyeong to come back . denying the reality , hyeok - geun builds a fantasy in his mind where he and cha - kyeong secretly share the everyday life . to wake up hyeok - geun from cha - kyeong ' s illusion , cha - kyeong ' s best friend , gi - ok who was secretly in love with him , puts herself in the same accident with cha - kyeong , . . .
to stop the film from sinking beneath the increasingly fraught emotional tension , director kang employs a non - linear structure that harks back to when the threesome were happy . the technique certainly brings levity to the story , as well as further conveying the sense of loss through the contrast between the past and present . indeed , the director utilises her wonderful sense of colour and composition during the flashback sequences that feature vibrant warm reds and yellows , in complete opposition to the washed - out palette following cha - kyeong’s death . yet it also serves to usurp the character development in the here and now , as plot threads that took time to establish are often dumped only to later reappear , or to never return at all . the confusion that arises as a result of narrative jumping through time frames results in a distancing between the characters and the audience as it becomes difficult to fully engage and empathise with their respective situations . this is ultimately dear dolphin ‘s downfall , as in a bid to keep the film ‘light’ with traditional melodramatic conventions , the powerful emotional resonance of each character becomes lost .
unable to get over the loss of his dear departed , hyeok - geun imagines his bubbly young wife has returned to him . his fragile state has prompted him to delude himself , or has it ? the deceased cha - kyeong also appears in her own scenes , which exist outside of the man ' s imagination . during these segments she interacts with a middle - aged man in her very own purgatory , seeking counsel about her continued interactions with her husband , even after having shuffled off her mortal coil . can she not let him go or is she scared to leave him alone ?
the water motif appears early on , as the married couple move into their apartment . the fishtank , which serves as the centerpiece of their living room , is ever present , and as the articles around it move , change or disappear completely , it remains . it ' s a life giving force unaffected by the events befalling the film ' s characters . as a dolphin , cha - kyeong floats through a larger body of water , symbolically present in the film as a gateway between the here and hereafter .
with her short - cropped hair and lively personality , han ye - ri , as cha - keyong , is reminiscent of carey mulligan . following her death , she appears in the same blue dress throughout the rest of the film . this visual clue reminds us of her passing but the blue color of her garment is also important . it has a calming effect on her husband and also matches the bodies of water she frequently finds herself beside , be they fish tanks , aquariums or pools . she is of course the dolphin of the title .
hyeok - geun ' s life is thrown into turmoil when his young wife cha - kyeong dies after being hit by a car . a year later her friend , who is also still devastated by her loss , not to mention guilt - ridden for having lent her the bike that the accident , visits him , asking him to accompany her on a trip to her burial site . as they both seeks to come to terms with the holes in their lives , they become close to one another . however , kyeok - geun becomes troubled when his late lover begins to appear before him in his waking life .
as those forced to remain behind in a less colorful world following cha - kyeong ' s death , lee hee - joon and lee yeong - jin deliver sober performances , quietly in tune with the film ' s mournful air . natural and easy to empathize with , they help to counter balance some of the script ' s emotional inconsistencies . yet their good work can only get the film so far .

unable to come to terms with the death of his girlfriend cha - kyeong ( han ye - ri ( 한예리 ) , physiotherapist hyeok - geun ( lee hee - joon ( 이희준 ) develops insomnia . unable to work or function properly his life begins to fall apart , while his mental stability becomes strained due to hallucinations . his grief and sense of guilt are also shared by gi - ok ( lee yeong - jin ( 이영진 ) , cha - kyeong’s best friend , who simultaneously hates herself for her involvement in the accident and also for secretly coveting hyeok - geun . as their grief becomes ever greater , and reality and fantasy become difficult to separate , gi - ok and hyeok - geun must learn to overcome their emotional trauma lest it consumes them .
as empathy becomes increasingly diluted , it therefore falls to the actors to keep the emotional intensity sharp in the present . in this respect it is lee yeong - jin who gives the standout performance as gi - ok , as the actress appears evermore fraught with guilt , stress and grief . the anguish on gi - ok’s face as she reaches out to hyeok - geun for emotional and physical support is sincere , while the continual rejection of her advances become heartbreaking as she sinks lower and lower . lee hee - joon and han ye - ri give competent performances as hyeok - geun and cha - kyeong , but they are lacking the chemistry and passion that are sorely required when exploring the death of a loved one . as such the film quickly becomes gi - ok’s story as it is her emotional distress that is the most fully developed , and is her resolution rather than hyeok - geun’s fragile mental state that takes precedence .
luckily director kang also injects the film with some stunning cinematography in relation to scenes involving cha - kyeong and hyeok - geun , particularly when employing the water symbolism that is so inherent to the narrative . the scenes are absolutely gorgeous and appear more like a painting than a film . ironically the surreal and otherworldly sequences further complicate the narrative , but when scenes are this beautiful it’s hard to complain . often accompanied by an ethereal soundtrack , the conveyance of water as a source of life , death , and even purgatory are lovely to behold , and it is these scenes that resonate long after the film and provide thought - provoking moments on the nature of loss .

they are still grieving over their loss with guilt inside their hearts , and their confused hearts don’t know what to do . they are pretty clumsy when they grasp for consolation or redemption , and they remain as confused as before . in such an unhappy circumstance , it is no wonder that they begin to see an illusion which constantly reminds them of what they had painfully lost .
but something suddenly happens to separate them forever . when cha - kyeong goes to her close friend gi - ok ( lee yeong - jin ) because of her floristic work she has to deliver to gi - ok and then returns to the home by gi - ok’s bicycle at night , she is killed in an unfortunate car accident , and her death is a devastating blow to both gi - ok and hyeok - geun .
a year has passed . although they try to move on with their respective daily lives , gi - ok and hyeok - geun do not seem to recover from their loss at all . hyeok - geun looks particularly troubled ; as the people around him begin to notice from his blank face , he always looks tired and deprived of sleep , and that sometimes affects his work at the physical rehabilitation center . the memories with cha - kyeong always hovers over his mind , and he is tormented by the fact that he could have prevented the accident if he had just let cha - kyeong stay at her friend’s house during that night .
and then , he begins to see cha - kyeong around him . he knows it is not real , but he willingly accepts this hallucination because he has missed her so much . is she just a hallucination or a real ghost ? we see cha - kyeong going around a local aquarium for watching dolphins at one point , and she comes across a maintenance guy who later functions as her therapist listening to her in his office . the movie does not tells us what exactly is going on , but han ye - ri and ki joo - bong , who plays a maintenance guy , make their scenes engaging , and we listen to them even while we feel baffled about what the hell they are doing .
meanwhile , the movie slowly reveals an odd triangle between its main characters . like hyeok - geun , gi - ok feels lots of guilt about her best friend’s death because she was also indirectly responsible for the accident . she casually lent her bicycle to cha - kyeong even though she knew it needed repair due to a brake problem , and that fact has been gnawing her heart even though she had admitted her fault during the investigation . to make the matters worse , cha - kyeon’s frigidly gentle elder sister ( lee eun - ah ) still cannot forgive her ; she frequently visits gi - ok to remind that to her , and that hurts gi - ok a lot – and she has no one to talk with about her pain .
when gi - ok visits the cemetery for remembering her friend , she happens to meet hyeok - geun . they are pretty awkward to each other at first , but , when they later have a dinner together with several glasses of alcohol , they begin to open their mouth , and they talk a lot about cha - kyeong while sharing their feeling of loss . in the end , they find themselves having sex in a hotel room during that night .
now you may think you know where the story is going , but the movie defies your expectation , and it does not push its characters into predictable plot . because they have no idea about how to deal with their difficult situation , they continue to struggle with their respective problems , and the lack of communication between them brings more troubles and hurts to each of them . hyeok - geun keeps being haunted by his hallucination , and his ‘affair’ with gi - ok makes him all the more miserable . as watching hyeok - guen haunted by his wife , gi - ok feels frustrated about the lack of response from a man she has secretly loved for long years , and , with the increasing guilt of her own , she also begins to feel what hyeok - guen has been seeing .
the movie is based on the director kang jin - a’s short film made in 2009 . i have not seen it , but i can say its feature version is a good film to be appreciated . there are dreamy moments occasionally appearing in the movie , but there is always the realistic atmosphere of mundane daily life , and lee yeong - jin , lee hee - joon , and han ye - ri all give convincing performances . their characters come to us as the real people dealing with the real problems we can identify with , and their human behaviors remind that we are sometimes not that wise in case of handling the matters of heart .
