2 out of 5 stars Between a rock and a hard place.......2006-07-08

This film is based on the real life sadistic rape and torture of a school girl Leigh Leigh, in the Newcastle region of New South Wales.

What I found remarkably hard to understand about this (perhaps it's just me) is the 'dilemma' faced by one of the lead characters.

He and his mates are out having a party. He witnesses the rape and the killing and yet he has a 'dilemma' about reporting it because he's good mates with the perpertrator. For me there's no issue whatsoever, the brutality of the crime could not be convered up, so I had enormous difficulty understanding the motives of the central character of this film

3 out of 5 stars black rock the movie........2004-08-13

I thaught that the movie was aleright besides the fact that "heath leadger" is in the movie and "Aaron carter" i dont like anyone of them. The best part of the movie is when Ricko jumps he should of done that at the start of the movie that way the poor girl would still be alive. Jared is one confustd little boy but he opens up in the end. the movie is about a girl that gets raped and murded there was one witness and he is not saying anything.he is asked about her and he still protects his friend{ricko}. i dont think that its right to protect some one when there is a murder involved.

I think the movie was a bit to graphical for younger people to be viewing. But on the other it is good for people that are in senor grade in small country towens that dont have access to larg citys as this gives them an insit of what can happen to people and happens every day. I think it is a grate educationl movie as it opens peoples eyes to the fact that crimes do go on where people see and dont tell any one, and how it tars them apart. It also shows that things like rap and muder can happen like that in small towens.

Blackrock was an excelent film it was a touching movie with out beening soppy. it is a powerful film which relates to a teenagers life and choices. the every day choices a teenager has to make, with every action there is a reaction. with every risk there can also come consercenses. this is clearly demintrates in one of the actors Laurence Breuls who played Jared, first demonstration was when jared surfed on the bonnet of a car while it drives around out on control with only a peice of rope to hold on to, that could of had consercenses. Secondly jared watching his mates rape a girl if he had acted, they might have reacted by running away. there are many meanings in this movie that are clearly shown i recommened that teenages watch this movie, even though it is not a new age movie it really makes you question your own morals.

Steve Vidler's remarkable film Blackrock, tells a true story of a young women that was raped and murdered on a beach. "A property of the clan" a play that reflects upon the same storyline was introduced by Nick Enright.

Jared the main character of the film decides to throw a party for his best mate "Ricko" who returns to Blackrock. After walking away from the party he sits upon blackrock and witnesses the rape of a young teenage girl Tracey Warner.

Afeter waking the next morning to find that she was also murdered Jared decides to keep it to himself and say nothing. The film shows what Jared goes through knowing this and trying to hide it.

Blackrock is a film that reflects upon everty day life, things that could happen. It shows the way that teenagers think and feel and .
