Talk:The Castle (1997 Australian film)

message: I don't think that it is such a good idea to have the exact address where the film was shot out in strathmore?  The last thing the people living out there need is a bunch of "The Castle" fans showing up and pestering them.
* Many fans are just curious and take a look at locations, from Rocky to Back To The Future to Ghostbusters. Not everyone is as bad as Breaking Bad "pizza throwers". - Tallaussiebloke (talk) 11:12, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Quotes from the Movie

message: I chopped this whole para as it seems to bear no direct relation to the movie, which is set in Victoria:
:It is interesting to note that s51(xxxi) of the Australian Constitution has no equivalent in the Queensland Constitution.  As a consequence, the State of Queensland can and does compulsorily acquire land without payment of just compensation. In some cases, land is acquired by this State through legislative stealth without payment of any compensation - bypassing the Acquisition of Land Act (Queensland). There are complex examples of this, however,the simplest example is presented in the Land Act 1994 (Queensland). Legislators simply deleted the word "Crown" (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II) and substituted the word "State". So Crown land became State owned land. The Act then goes on to declare that all land below the high-water mark of a tidal navigable river (water course) is State owned Land. The position of the high-water mark is merely a matter of certification by the Registrar of Titles. Any litigation opposing the Registrar's certification will not be allowed a venture beyond the State Courts to the High Court - all sorts of things will befall such an uncompensated victim.
The recent High Court sanctioning of the new Australian Industrial Relations laws heralds the way to bring the Queensland Constitution in line. Once that happens, a man can safely call his home, his castle.''

message: The conversion from $AUD to USD is wrong, and would appear to have been calculated in the inverse since the AUD was below the USD in 2009 and the calculated sum is . There is also the question of why we are converting the figure iat 2009 exchange rates for a 1997 film. I am deleting the currency conversion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.47.199.254 (talk) 00:17, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sensible move. We cannot predict what other currencies and what time periods the reader might be interested in, so it's wrong to choose just one (and then get it wrong!) Let anyone who's interested sort their particular conversion out for themselves. HiLo48 (talk) 00:23, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Simple English wikipedia page provides a source that states the budget for this film was in fact $800,000 and provides further details of its production. The source relating to the budget on this article does not make any reference to the $19,000 this article states.
*Agreed. I remember reading an interview with Rob Sitch a long time ago where he mentioned that it was filmed for just under A$1M, but I can't find it online. I did, however, find this interview where he states it was A$750k, so we can use that figure instead. Gobeirne (talk) 18:33, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

message: The article claims that the movie was adapted from Franz Kafka's novel, but there is no correlation of this anywhere. Where did this come from?

message: The themes section seems to be mostly the opinion of the authors, rather than based upon external sources. It also feels defensive and I think misses the point that the movie is a comedy. For example Kerrigan complementing his wife on basic foods she prepared can be seen as highlighting his affection for his wife even when she does things which might not be considered extra-ordinary, rather than making fun of Australian cuisine which the author implies.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.220.136.97 (talk) 10:56, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
