Introduction and Spoiler Alert
00:00:00
Speaker
This is your Under Southern Screens spoiler warning. If you have not seen 1906's The Story of the Kelly Gang, or The Story of Ned Kelly for that matter, um we're going to be spoiling the plot rotten. But if you don't care about the plot being spoiled for this 120 year old film, ah enjoy the premiere episode of Under Southern Screens.
00:00:22
Speaker
am not right. You're terrible Muriel. Talk to me. You're going to me do that bugger, bugger? You don't talk to the cop. Today is a brand new day. No, that's it. It's the vibe.
00:00:35
Speaker
G'day fellow Aussie film lovers and welcome to the premiere episode of Under Southern Screens, the most official Australian cinema podcast as voted by us, your hosts.
Debut Excitement and Podcast Goals
00:00:45
Speaker
I'm Mitch.
00:00:46
Speaker
And I'm Matthew. And yes, we are here. And it is, yeah, like it's so crazy that we're finally getting to do this. This is insane. This has been in the works for months.
00:00:57
Speaker
Months? Literally months, bro. Widowee months. Yeah, so excited. Widowee. It's widowee crazy, man. But yeah, it's so cool that yeah we're finally getting to talk about some amazing Aussie films on this podcast. Fantastic. Yeah, there's a few of them there and and, you know, they haven't been talked about as much as a we'd once. So here we are. That's like... the conceit of the podcast is we want to shine a bigger light on Australian film.
00:01:23
Speaker
Um, it's pretty rad. Uh, if, if it's not obvious, we kind of both live there. Uh, yeah, yes, that's right. Yeah. I'm based in Sydney and I'm a, I'm a Melburnian born and born and raised. Um, don't hold it against me. Um, So apologies if you live in like Perth or Darwin or anything, but we're going to... Or the Outback. Yeah, or the Outback or Tasmania. But like, you know, we're just going to consider this to be like the definitive Australian viewpoints and opinions. But hey, if you're from Perth or Darwin or Tasmania, welcome. Hell yeah. I mean, I'm sure eventually we'll try and have some sort of way for people to contact us.
Love for Australian Cinema
00:02:05
Speaker
Exactly. I mean, don't do it now. There's not really a way to, as far as I'm aware. I'm good there. But yeah, so I absolutely love Australian cinema personally. Studied in university just because it's got such a unique sort of not only in terms of landscapes and aesthetics, but in terms of, you know, characters, themes, and most importantly for me, humour is something that I think defines what Australian cinema is. I mean, Mitch, what do you reckon? Yeah, I think there is a vibe that no other type of cinema can provide. I don't want to say that in like a way that, you know, think Russian cinema has its own vibe and it's like every single culture, you know, has its own vibe and, but,
00:02:50
Speaker
you know We're Australian and I want us to highlight our home horne turf's cinematic exports. cinematics Exactly. Of course, man. And it's not even just just a sense of patriotism.
The Story of the Kelly Gang: Historical Context
00:03:00
Speaker
like I genuinely think that there are a ton of cinematic gems that have come out of this country. I mean, even the the film we're going to be talking about today, that the story of the Kelly Gang, like it is a landmark film.
00:03:13
Speaker
film in general, not just Australian film. It's huge for history, like cinematic history. yeah but Yeah, that's why we're here talking about it today and we're so glad you're here to join us. But yeah, so today we're going to be talking about 1906's Story of the Kelly Gang, widely considered to be the first feature narrative film ever released. What do you think about that? That's crazy, isn't it? It's pretty nuts. Sorry, I didn't find out recently, recently, but i found, and that like when we started talking about doing this, I found a little bit before we were going to do the podcast that that was the case, that this film was considered the first kind of feature length ah film. and Ever. Ever.
00:03:54
Speaker
ever yeah in the history of cinema and slash the world it is the considered the first ever featured like film and i didn't know australia did that i was i assumed it must have been in france or france yeah in england something yeah takes exactly me over the scene but no It is one Charles Tate of the Tate family that ah that introduced long form cinema to Australia and the world, which is which is insane. And I mean, it is the first in a long, long litany of films based on Ned Kelly that have come out of this country. it is ah It's kind of crazy how much we are fascinated on this on this bearded dude.
00:04:33
Speaker
It's probably our most interesting historical event, only in the fact, like, so we have a lot of interesting history here, absolutely, but only in the fact that it doesn't involve us highlighting a whole group of people that we genocided, so we can kind of, like, ignore the First Nations people with this story, where kind of any other really interesting Australian history does kind of force the non-Indigenous people to kind of be like, yeah, we kind of did a lot of bad
Ned Kelly: Historical and Cultural Significance
00:05:01
Speaker
things. Yeah, we'll talk about them throughout this podcast. Oh, absolutely. Fantastic Indigenous films. absolutely is. I mean, Samson and Delilah, Mystery Road. I mean, just, yeah, we'll get there 100%. Absolutely. But yeah, it is weird that Ned Kelly in particular has been the figurehead. I mean, starting off here. Robin Hood. It's Robin Hood, basically. Yeah, absolutely. It is weird, man. It's, I don't know. it's so curious as well and i think what's interesting is actually haven't seen a lot of australian film i'm kind of a a piece of crap in that sense yes you suck me personally in like a moral level suck because i haven't seen that much australian film but hopefully this podcast will you know it's gonna broaden my horizons southern horizons that is you know That's it. It's all on brand here for this podcast. And yeah, I'm just really looking forward to taking that journey with you, Mitch. Definitely in a cultural sense. Ned Kelly's kind of a polarizing figure because some people will he's a thug, he's a murderer. other people go, he's a Robin Hood, he's a... Bushranger. A Bushranger, yeah. And...
00:06:09
Speaker
Yeah, I guess that'll be something think be interesting because I'm sure we're going to want to touch on other Ned Kelly films over the course of this podcast. Oh, yeah, 100%. Maybe even next week we'll touch on it. Who's to say? We haven't figured out what week's to Ned Kelly-a-thon in the first five episodes. But, I mean, yeah, everyone from, like, Heath Ledger to Mick Jagger has portrayed Ned Kelly throughout the Australia film. also the guy from Pride. whose name I don't remember. yeah, yeah, exactly. In the true history of the Kelly Gang. Yeah. That's the biggest thing that I... So, the film we're talking about today is the story of the Kelly Gang. But then in 2019, they made a film called The True History of the Kelly Gang. And from then on out, all naming conventions between the two, I just get them mixed up. It's a shame. So, if either me or Mitch says the wrong name throughout this video... Sorry, not sorry. Should we get into the summary for... We should absolutely get into it. Awesome.
Creation and Influence of the Film
00:07:05
Speaker
Our first film for under southern screens takes us back to 1906. In an age where it was an achievement to not die at 35, Australia had its own prototype wannabe film bros in the form of Charles Tate and the Tate family.
00:07:20
Speaker
Spurred on by popular bush ranging stage plays at the time, the Tate family capitalized on the burgeoning silent film boom to create The Story of the Kelly Gang, widely considered to be the first feature length narrative film in the world.
00:07:33
Speaker
While only around half an hour of the film exists today, you're pretty much able to get the gist as most of the surviving fragments of the film are available conveniently in the National Film and Sound Archive and available on ABC ivy, which is where I watch the film. And more conveniently, ah the bits that are available are the more interesting moments of the film, most notably being the last stand of Ned Kelly played by Frank Mills.
00:07:57
Speaker
The film was shot around Heidelberg, St Kilda, Eltham and Greensboro and sold out Melbourne's Athenaeum Hall for five weeks straight upon its release on Boxing Day 1906, thus generating a cash cow for the Tate family, particularly because they owned the cinema itself. Monopolisation of production and distribution by the mega rich, now that's the modern film industry that I know and love. Woo. That's it. Got it out flawless. Yeah, man. Yeah. No, no multi-takes there. First episode blues. Here we go. mean, Mitch, you would think that there wouldn't be a lot to talk about with this film, just given how, I mean, how fragmented it is in this yeah modern context. Well, yeah. Yeah. I think what I find really interesting, first of all, is this is obviously a movie that's really sympathetic towards the Kelly gang.
00:08:46
Speaker
in ah yeah, 100%. It'll be like, the final stand of Ned Kelly, and then it's like and then it goes, yeah, the the ah the dickhead cops who shoot at birds, also- It is a romanticisation. Yeah. And it's interesting that that's the stance that was taken. And i don't know, how do you feel about that? Yeah, look, it is interesting. I think it is very typical of, like, the bush-ranging
Film Techniques and Production Challenges
00:09:12
Speaker
plays of the time. like Like, I mean, if you look at the Western aspect of it, you know, it it is romanticizing ah the break-freeze of conformity of the time, the sort of the anything-goes nature of it. I mean, the thing you ought to think about in this era is that, like...
00:09:28
Speaker
At the time of the film's release, Ned Kelly's brothers and mother were still alive. You know, they they were still alive to see this film ah be released. So it's like, I guess maybe there is an element of bias there. And I mean, it is folklore essentially, which is yeah which is fascinating.
00:09:44
Speaker
What I found more interesting, i the story itself, I found quite... It's kind of whatever. ah its Yeah, yeah. Things just happen. yeah Things just kind of happen and then and and they don't bother the coverage.
00:09:56
Speaker
Obviously, like... Obviously everything I'm saying is covered by the fact that it was ah it's a product of its time. It's the first it's the first ever... Over 120 years ago. It's the first ever feature length film. Stuff just what is not going to stand up to modern scrutiny. And even because they they mentioned that certain ah titles are covering scenes that have been lost to time.
00:10:17
Speaker
Oh yeah, absolutely. If anyone's watched it, the italicized version is... Any italicized heading is saying is something that's been lost. and It's a context filler. yeah Exactly. And that any block writing is what was with the original film.
00:10:33
Speaker
And so even when take out all the italicized ones, how much block writing in there is just them being like, yeah, these guys got shot. And then this happened. And then this happened. Yeah. Yeah. I think it is. Well, from what I'm able to research on this film, how it was conceived of is it was shot as six individual segments. Like, so like six individual silent film, essentially pretty much moments. And then they had the idea of, oh, why don't we piece this together into one yeah mega movie to maximize profit one saga it goes you know so so people come in and see six silent films back to back to back as opposed to coming back you know over a span you know and possibly reducing revenue so it is a pretty innovative style and and yeah in the way it's shot it is definitely very theatrical in nature you know all considered wide shots yes like yeah The camera doesn't move at all, basically. There's no movement. Although there is a really, don't know if you picked up on this, but there was a great moment at the very, very beginning where it is a wide shot. But then when Kate, who's one of the only female characters in movie. One two. One of two female characters in the movie. She pulls a gun out on an officer and then it cuts, hard cuts to a mid shot.
00:11:50
Speaker
Yeah. At that time, it was like, wow, you know, that would have been, you know, that would have been the high ticket. That's what you would have bought a ticket for to see back in the day. yeah that's yeah That's the Mission Impossible Climbing the Burj Khalifa of 1906. Yeah. That is, yeah. Tom Cruise, he's like, that that's my inspiration. I don't know. So there are innovative elements to this. Absolutely, yeah. Most notably, I think, towards like the end of the film when the Glenrowan pub starts gets caught on fire and they change the tint of the film. Yeah, it's just a filter.
00:12:25
Speaker
It's just a red filter. It's coupled with the heading saying, the hotel's on fire, and then just cuts to the same shot that you saw before, but it's red. And there's some smoke coming. I think what I find the most funny is when the priest was walking in, and clearly I guess some of the extras were just a little bit jumpy, so they just kept shooting their blanks at him as was walking in. They just didn't know what to they're how do we now? Just keep firing, I guess? Yeah. Just do it. Yeah, there are a few sort of like bloopers in there. I don't know. When the hold up at the bank happens, don't know you saw, but like the extras open up the door of the bank too early and then they close it again. Like they must have like preempted a queue too early or something. And it's too expensive to retake. Like that's films with so much money. Yeah, film stock, man. The Tate family, they're rich, but they're not that rich, man. They've got to get this thing out the door. Well, they haven't released their giant mega film yet, their saga. Exactly. Well, and that's the thing you've to think about, too, is the book wasn't written yet on all of these techniques. And they've expressed that in retrospect, the Tate family. They were just sort of going as they went along. It was literally like you and your friends at eight years old making a movie on an iPhone. That's how they made this film. It's fantastic. It's really fun to think about. I reckon it would have fun to be on that set.
00:13:53
Speaker
You know, just a bunch of dudes get in cowboy dress up, running around with fake guns, pointing at each other and then just shooting each other. And then it's, I reckon that'd be really fun. I doubt there was a Vic screen talent placement opportunity for this production though. doubt it. Yeah. Yeah. But that's okay. So there's a child murder in this movie.
00:14:18
Speaker
A child gets murdered merk in this film from 1906. Just straight up. That is, it's very interesting and an interesting aspect of this this thing. I guess maybe theatrical productions of the time were, you know, were pretty like lax and they guess I guess they could just follow suit on film. Well, the censors weren't in place yet or anything. well That's it, right? And guess like...
00:14:44
Speaker
At the time, it's just like, what was film? know what mean? It's like, it's the Lumiere brothers' first films, obviously they were from a decade prior, but they were literally just capturing life. you know what mean? So, so narrative based shorts. and I mean, and I mean the great train robbery is a great comparison piece to Nick Kelly, I think, you know, but, um but yeah, ah it's interesting to see such sort of brashness and sort of bluntness to the way this story is told, you know? Yeah, it's got like this raw energy to it that I guess film... You you just couldn't do it nowadays because... like i guess you could, but just why would you? Yeah, exactly. It's like like, do we need to see an elongated bank robbery that goes on for maybe 10 minutes i think in a single shot? It has the exact same thing of like a lot of old films.
00:15:33
Speaker
like I'm talking really old films where they just don't cut anything. It's all... There's the part where they um rob... Is it the station? or It looks like a church, but it's like the station or whatever. yeah And there's the part where the guy's hawking um van rocks up. And they don't just cut to him being robbed, though. he they they they You watch him back up, and then but then screw his back up and then reset and then do his back up again. it's so it's It's humbling. It's humbling to see, that's for sure. Absolutely. Did you enjoy watching it? Look, I think for me, the thing that I found the most enjoyable about it was just the commendable efforts of the film and sound archive for piecing it all together. Yeah. That was the main thing. It's because, I mean, obviously in my dopamine riddled sort of short form attention span mind, it's like you got to pay attention for for half an hour of just unmoving static stuff.
00:16:32
Speaker
elongated shots and that is something that is an adjustment um but yeah i mainly focused on because they they drew on so many different like sources for how to piece this together secondary sources you had they they mentioned um a lot of newspaper clippings lot of um cartoons the program yep exactly exactly and then the poster as well like so like The fact that they were able to find this footage in general is like, honestly, it shouldn't have happened. Do
Restoration and Legacy
00:17:02
Speaker
you know what I mean? Yeah. I believe that the restoration efforts first started in the I think, which is still like, that is 70 years after film.
00:17:11
Speaker
premiered you know so it's it's insane i believe that some film reels were found at like garbage tips and stuff and then they were able to like piece it all together into something that's relatively cohesive it's yeah it's it's a great works and the fact that it like the restoration only came out in 2006 so that's 100 years Yeah. That's crazy. Isn't that crazy? I was just thinking because at the bottom of each title, inserted one at least, from the archive, it says the archive's name and then 2006 and you just go, damn, it's crazy that they... you reckon they timed it? They finished it maybe three years earlier or something and then they're like, let's hold on to it another three years and do it the 100th anniversary. Yeah, well, so that's the thing I was thinking of. It's like because the Heath Ledger Ned Kelly came out in 2003.
00:18:02
Speaker
So that it could have been like a Richard Donner cut situation. Couldn't they have waited another three years as well? That's crazy. It could have been the year of Ned Kelly, man. That would have been insane. yeah I think what's even crazier is that when this film was made, i think Australia had been a country for five years or something. That's true. Yeah. First federated in 1901. Yeah. So it's just like, damn, what a bunch of go-getters. Yeah. um and then bunch of innovators, man. This is the country that made Wi-Fi and the Ned Kelly movie. Yeah. Or then like, you know, 10 years after this, where we're anzacking it up in World War I. Mate, the country just doesn't stop. We just can't stop addicted to a shindig. um That's it. That's true. I have to admit that I got to about 21 minutes in and I had to take a break.
00:18:47
Speaker
that's fair I had to walk off. um I listened to the Pacific Rim soundtrack five times in a row to just ant myself up ah to go back and sit back down and go, all right, let's watch this ending.
00:19:00
Speaker
Because I was finding my hand kept, as you mentioned, the short form tension span. My hand kept drifting towards my phone. I had to be like, no, stop, stop. No, watch the bloody film. Yeah. For me, it was just checking how long I had left on the ABC ivy timeline. I was just like, uh, and it would only be like five minutes. But like, look, I think like that was going to be the case regardless. I think the one thing that I think would have improved the experience is just having...
00:19:27
Speaker
any sort of audio whatsoever. Just some music something. In the restoration, just something. Because that's what they do with, like, you know, like the the Great Train Robbery and a bunch of of the other silent films from this era is that, you know, they have stand-in music or even they've some have recreated music from that that time that were played. I mean, it it just would have helped the the flow of it. Just watching silent images, um you know, for half an hour, it's ah I don't know, it takes a little bit of commitment. You know I mean? It makes you realize how, obviously, we're never going to feel the immense change that it was, but it just kind of makes you realize how amazing sound being added to film must have been at the time. and because Yeah, exactly. The talkies. Yeah, we're going to go to the talkies, brother. They get talking up. do They don't stop either. Film be talking. you know what I'm saying? The film does talk from 1927 onwards. I will say that despite it being like a sort of, you know, a very sort of static affair and a very long affair, I think that the final 10 minutes where like stuff kicks off is still like, it is still quite engaging from, from the, the, the fire at the the hotel, the Glenn Rowan hotel, all the way to Ned Kelly's last stand. I was, kind I was locked in for that. Ned Kelly's last stand was kind of goaded. um Yeah, even and today. It's definitely the most exciting part of the whole film, and they definitely knew that as well, because yes as far as I'm aware, unless I'm stupid and I'm forgetting something, that's the first time you see him in the armor?
00:21:01
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. At least from the moments that we've seen. Yeah, at least from what we can see. And there was a point where went, are we just not going to see him in the armor? This is nuts,
Iconic Scenes and Cultural Reflections
00:21:11
Speaker
right? And then it's like, oh, it'll be in his last stand, surely. This was their endgame moment, dude. Dude.
00:21:19
Speaker
They were going nuts. They had their Burj Khalifa moment and their Endgame moment in one film. No wonder why there's any gangbusters. Exactly. The Tate family, they just they they knew how to bring ah bring the sources, as the kids say. that's to Bring the Kino. Exactly right. but But I mean, yeah, even, look, I think The Last Stand, it's the most climactic point of the film. It's the most cinematic. It's been degradated to hell. Oh, the bubble the bubble over it, dude, is insane. Yeah, it does damp. But I think, look, in my pretentious film bro way, doesn't it add a bit of character, the film degradation? i don't know. It definitely made me sit up and go... up It was more interesting, I think, the fact that that... Because it just it gave it history and it gave it yeah character that
00:22:06
Speaker
I mean, it has character, there's just an extra level to its character that just wasn't there because before then, the footage seems to be pretty well preserved. It's kind of the back half where things start to go a bit hazy. I did find it funny that there was They included section, I think it was someone dying or someone getting shot or something, where...
00:22:26
Speaker
It's in the um the the hotel at the end. Yeah. And the card pops up and it says death of someone. Yeah, the death of Joe. Yeah, the death of Joe. And it's like a minute of just blurry footage that you can't see anything. And then it goes, the brave priest runs in. Sounds like, what the? i didn't see anything just for context that is the child murder talking about oh okay no wonder why i didn't really know was going on it was a child he gets capped and then just like hard cut to the title card death of joe it actually kind of floored me a little bit i like i like did a double take like this is amazing and then yeah and then the film goes all like it just gets you don't see any of it because And it's self-censored, but not deliberately. It's very funny. Yeah. I don't know. It just tells a second story. Do you know what Yeah, it does. It tells the story of the journey of this film all the way from its premiering. The other thing that I found interesting from doing some research is that there are conflicting reports as to the ending of the film. So obviously, they screened it in 1906, Boxing Day, it went gangbusters. But then apparently they re-screened it in 1910 and the ending was different. Wow. So did they patch their movie? Do you know what I mean? Like, what an innovative... Because the rule book hadn't been written yet. No, you can just change the end if you want to. Go back and change the ending of your movie, which I think is absolutely fascinating, you know, as a thing. is so funny george lucas wishes he wishes he's like he's like exhibit a the story of the kelly gate everyone's giving him for his decision making i really want to i really want to change my movie i want to change my movie cut to 1906 i really want to change my movie it's just the tape the family being like it's just like the ripples through time remember george lucas said it's like poetry it rhymes or whatever oh my god it literally does it literally does dude that's insane i think um
00:24:31
Speaker
While you might think there's not like a ton to discuss on this film, like whatever way you so you stitch it or whatever, it is a landmark of cinema, of world cinema, much less Australian cinema. I think, you know, the amount of experimentation on display in terms of filming techniques, in terms of just the scope of it as well, the fire at the hotel, the last stand, like that is, it is inherently cinematic. Do you know what mean? and And for me, while it wasn't a like, you know, obviously it is primitive in it, in the way it's constructed. It is still an engaging watch to me all these years later. Absolutely. Look, I, I maybe needed to have a bit of a break, but ah it's not the worst thing I've watched. That's for sure. I've seen much worse film and that's saying a lot. I think. Yeah. Exactly. for a film that is literally 120 years old this year. It is you the oldest film I've ever watched, I reckon. No, I've seen some of those shorts that we talked about before. So it's, it's the old, well, it's the oldest feature length film I've ever watched. you go. Able to slam that one in there. Yeah. Um, and one thing And one thing we wanted to do for Under Southern Screens as a podcast, for each film that we do each week, is ah we wanted to list ah the most Australian thing about this film, just to ah just to you know add that little patriotic nugget into the end it.
00:25:51
Speaker
you know so and And so obviously the person who picks the movie each week will list off the most Australian thing about this film. And for me, the most Australian thing about the story of the Kelly gang from 1906 is the fact that the only surviving fragments of the first Australian feature film is a fight at a country pub in Glenrowan. Yeah.
00:26:12
Speaker
Boom. There you go. That's good. i How Australian is that? I was very Australian. What I was thinking the most Australian thing was was a guy being dragged away um by coppers um at the end of the movie.
00:26:27
Speaker
um in a in a It looked kind of very similar to, what what is the charge? that's having a succulent Chinese it looked kind of exactly like that um so really like I mean yeah it's just a ripple of Australian and film history isn't it this film it's just like you know it's like how the Simpsons predicts the future it's like yeah you know the story of the Kelly gang precursors everything and anything all Australian media yeah oh bro every media watch the 7 30 report all coming down to it this lego masters the project coming the project and that's it and and also movies as well some amazing australian movie movie movies yeah here and there but i think i i think we'll get to a few more of those australian movies as we go through this so i would i would hope so this cinematic voyage is cinematic uh odyssey as they say i mean mitch any final thoughts on this film it's it's really interesting as a piece of film history for sure i think only you watch it if you're like really into like film history though yeah yeah if you're if you're okay with sitting in complete silence for half an hour yeah or 20 minutes but and then ah a break of pacific rim music and then back to then the last 10 minutes
