	Ned Kelly
		Ned's life was first made into a film shortly after the turn of the century, when some of the principals were still alive.
		Kelly was the Aussie equivalent of Jesse James, or at least the Jesse James of folk legend, an honest man first turned into an outlaw by the corrupt bullies who passed as policemen in the 1870s, and then elevated to a folk hero by journalists and word-of-mouth.
		Ned and his gang were holed up in a village pub with the locals and a traveling circus, when they were surrounded by about a hundred policemen.

	Jackie's Screen Scene - Movie Reviews - Ned Kelly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Ned Kelly is a legend in Australia, leading an outlaw gang in the 1870s.
		Kelly, his brother Dan, and two friends, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart, band together and live their lives on the run, becoming a sort of Robin Hood and his band, robbing the rich to feed the poor.
		Naomi Watts is okay as Kelly's love interest, a woman torn between romance and her sense of duty for her husband and children.

		Ned takes Kennedy's watch as though it was something done absentmindedly from the shock, (stating his reason as 'something to do with' Kennedy not needing it anymore).
		Ned was also badly wounded in the foot and arm in the first bout of gunfire.
		Ned's famous 'last stand' gunfight against the police did then occur, at the end of which, he was captured.

	Ned Kelly (2004) Starring: Heath Ledger, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush - Three Movie Buffs Review
		At the beginning of the movie Ned is falsely arrested for stealing a horse and sent to prison for three years, thus starting the animosity between his family and the British police that will last throughout the film.
		Ned Kelly and his gang are portrayed as innocent men completely pushed into their life of crime by a corrupt system.
		This movie goes to such an extreme to show Ned as a "good" bad guy that when he first shoots and kills someone it is shown as a last ditch effort after warning the guy several times to stop or he will shoot.

	YMA Movie Review - Ned Kelly
		Ned is not actually there when this happens, because he is with a married woman but Fitzpatrick accuses Ned of shooting him.
		The Kelly gang have got a circus troop inside the hotel and they let them go out the front door with their hands up but they are shot at by police.
		Ned Kelly’s life was one of violence and this film portrays that truly and gratuitously.

	Ned Kelly (2003 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ned Kelly is an Australian film directed by Gregor Jordan.
		The movie portrays the life of Ned Kelly who is a well-known bushranger in Australia.
		This adaption of the Kelly story attempted to water down the historical antagonism between poor Irish and landed English settlers (a core motive of Kelly's discontent) by introducing a fictitious love affair between the outlaw and a rich squatter's wife, played by Naomi Watts.

	Ned Kelly (2003)
		I also only saw a bit of this movie, but I liked what I saw and thank goodness it did not have Mick Jagger as the gang leader of a murderous pack of outlaws as the 1970 movie did.
		Edward "Ned" Kelly -- Australia's most famous bushranger; like the American Jesse James, was a bad man considered a folk hero for resisting the corrupt powers that be.
		Ned tried to make a get away but was caught and sentenced to three years hard labor.

	Ned Kelly Australian Ironoutlaw \| Ironoutlaw.com
		What I thought: I would really love to know how close to the truth this movie really is. It portrays Ned not as a natural criminal, but as a man caught out by circumstance with prejudice against him because he was the son of an Irish pig stealer.
		When Ned and his friends have no water, and are forced to kill a horse and drink blood, that harsh side is shown on the movie as well.
		It tells the story of how Ned became an outlaw, the bank robberies he committed and trouble he caused the Victoria State police while he was on the run.

	Ned Kelly Movie Review
		Ned Kelly (played by Heath Ledger) is son of one such family.
		Kelly and couple of his friends escape to the bush and become outlaws, kill policemen sent after them and later start impressive career of bank robbers.
		Life of Ned Kelly was short, violent and, despite some historians trying to describe his life of crime as some sort of anti-British revolution, it didn’t affect Australian history much.

	Ned Kelly - zBoneman Movie Reviews
		Kelly's problems more or less start as a result of his unwillingness to cow down to the British police force, who pretty much treat the Irish as garbage and commonly abuse them without fear of reprisal.
		Kelly was a man who reacted to the persecution and injustice suffered by his people and much of the money he robbed was used as bail for the hundreds of Irishmen wrongfully imprisoned (some because of Kelly himself).
		Thus Ned Kelly was portrayed as a Robin Hood-like anti-hero and his contempt for the Crown soon results in an 8000 pound bounty on the gang's head, dead or alive.

	Ned Kelly (2003): Heath Ledger, Naomi Watts, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush - PopMatters Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Ned Kelly was the most infamous and charismatic bushranger Australia had ever seen, primarily because he was perceived to have been wrongly accused of criminal activity by a corrupt police system that were noted for oppressing poor immigrants.
		Ned's desirability is not lost on the rest of the town either.
		Ned might have been a criminal in the eyes of the law, but to working class Australians he was a hero wrongly accused.

		Ned Kelly (Ledger) and his brother Dan, sons of an Irish pig thief exiled to the Australian penal colony in 1843, formed the core of the Kelly Gang (with two other men), an outlaw gang (they were called "bushrangers", not "cowboys") that roamed across Australia for over two wild years.
		Kelly was a clever bandit, making his own homemade armor, including steel chest plates and helmets, to stop bullets from stopping him.
		Kelly was first arrested at 16 for horse stealing, but he became an outlaw when he killed a police officer who was harrassing his brother.

		Despite its plot holes, however, the movie is captivating in the sense that most real-life actioners are captivating: the director, Gregor Jordan, fluidly blends chase scenes and shoot-outs with romance and comedy.
		Kelly volunteers to tame the horse, partly to show his humanity and partly to impress Julia, who is watching.
		He begins with Ned’s arrest, one of the last events in the film’s storyline, and then flashes back to the beginning of Ned’s story, starting with his release from jail and through the rise and fall of his gang.

	AboutFilm.com - Ned Kelly (2003)
		There Ned Kelly is known as a colorful 1870s Irish-Australian outlaw—a vicious murderer and bank robber to the English gentry of the time, and a Robin Hood-style folk hero to the disenfranchised first-generation Irish immigrants.
		That's the tone from the outset, when the film opens with Ned Kelly, as a child, rescuing another boy from drowning and being awarded the silk hero's sash of green and gold.
		Ned Kelly is a compelling and enjoyable movie, but in the end, that's all it is.

	SoundtrackNet : Ned Kelly Soundtrack
		The solo trumpet begins "Ned Kelly", and it is here that Badelt's string orchestrations first show their power: the theme is played in the violins and countered by the cellos and again by the bass, and together the three lines dance through a series of heartbreaking chords and suspensions.
		In the movie, one is background and hardly audible, the other lip-synched by a live group in the scene, so I'm not sure how necessary these were to include on the soundtrack.
		Overall, Ned Kelly is a beautiful score both on album and on screen that captures every nuance of the film from the displaced and marginalized Irish culture to war to the tragic story of Ned Kelly.

		Trivia: The Sydney Morning Herald suggested that Heath Ledger was made for the role because when he tried on Ned Kelly's original iron armour, it fit perfectly.
		When Kelly is fed up with the way everything goes, he forms a gang with his brother and two other men.
		This movie was a nice addition to the documentary I once saw and I really enjoyed the performances of all the actors.

	FILM REVIEW: Ned Kelly (2003) - 19 April 2003
		To the leaderless selectors in North-east Victoria, Ned Kelly opposed the squatters who attempted to drive them from their lands through the misuse of corrupt shire officers, the courts and police.
		Heath Ledger's Ned Kelly is an uninspiring portrayal of a man who held the loyalty and support of the selectors throughout North-eastern Victoria.
		It was Fitzpatrick, the ever-amorous Romeo whose exploits triggered the Kelly outbreak and had him dismissed in disgrace from the force for an amorous escapade elsewhere.

	Ned Kelly - Movie Review
		Like father like son, it would seem, as before too long our Ned is on the run from the police, stealing from the rich to give to the poor and stopping only to launch yet another round of witless obscenities at the police.
		It's just one of many instances where Ned is seen acting the bastard, only to have his actions forgiven by either some dimwit narration or feebly-contrived excuse.
		Kelly and his gang (among them the dismal Orlando "always the bridesmaid" Bloom) are also portrayed as surprisingly well-educated for the bunch of dirt-dwelling minks they effectively are, displaying a facility for speaking in fluent Chinese and even managing to grasp the rudimentary concepts behind Acts of Parliament.

	BBC - Films - review - Ned Kelly
		An unkempt, enjoyable retelling of the life story of an Australian legend, Ned Kelly splices the folk hero martyrdom of Braveheart with the bloody, roguish outlawry of Walter Hill's Jesse James western The Long Riders - without equalling either.
		Kelly is the Mother Teresa of bankrobbers, a reluctant criminal who's regretful when violence proves necessary: keen to go home to his mum.
		Kelly's parents were from Ireland, so chances are he boasted a brogue, but why strive for such authenticity, then shamelessly romanticise other elements?

		Due to this, Ned Kelly is definitely a dramatic and entertaining film, but I am sure that if I was more aware of the whole Ned Kelly history and background I would be picking historically incorrect portions of this re-telling of the famous Ned Kelly.
		Ned, his brother Dan (Laurence Kinlan) and a couple friends (Orlando Bloom and Phil Barantini) are soon wanted outlaws, with a large bounty on their head, and a standing order from the government and Queen of England that they can be killed on sight, no questions asked.
		A large amount of the film has the Kelly gang in hiding and moving in the shadows, this could have caused a few problems with the image, but luckily a great job has been done on the shadows and fl levels for us, giving an excellent image even during the regular night scenes.
