What a difference the crowd can make. The first time I saw the was with a massive crowd that were really engaged and attentive. This time there were less than half of that and, while they were actually equally as attentive they were some how far more vocal in their response.

At least in the first half. They were really making fun of the characters, calling them gay but still laughing along at all the little jokes and funny bits along the way. While it may sound like they were being annoying and didn't like the film, quite the opposite was true. They were treating the characters like their own mates. Making fun of them and laughing with them and really enjoying all the practical jokes they were playing.

Which is why when the film turned and the characters started heading down a rocky path they became dead silent. By the end of the film it was absolutely heartbreaking. Far more emotional than the first time I saw it. To see these bogan guys in the theatre watching a character they treated like one of their own fall so far was just incredible. I can't get it out of my head. This film played these guys something fierce.

So, the film played far more depressing this time. I still can't get it out of my head. I really really loved it.
